Our pregnancy massage course is designed for the qualified massage therapist who wants to expand their existing massage skills and knowledge to provide safe, relaxing and beneficial prenatal massage to expectant mothers.
This intensive one-day pregnancy massage course will enable you to work more confidently when massaging pregnant women, whilst increasing your client base without the need for expensive equipment.
Pregnancy can be a wonderful and special time, however there are many physical and emotional changes that take place in the mother’s body as the baby develops, such as strain and pressure on the joints, ligaments and organs causing some pain and discomfort.
Pregnancy massage is a wonderfully relaxing and powerful therapy that helps to alleviate many of the symptoms and conditions associated with pregnancy to help promote a healthy, happy pregnancy, as well as labour and recovery period.
