Pregnancy Massage is one of the most professionally rewarding and satisfying massages you can give.  The energy you feel not only from the mom but the baby as well is truly magical.

In this class you will learn how to practice maternity - massage the benefits it has to pregnant mom's and get the hands experience you need to feel confident and comfortable.  Bodywork on a pregnant woman helps support a new mother emotionally and physically.  It can help relax and reduce stress, relieve muscle cramps from the changes taking place daily, helps with the ease of labor, can help with swelling and self esteem. 

Beginning with a firm foundation of how the mother's body changes structurally during pregnancy, you will learn to perform a full-body massage during pregnancy as well as delivery. Training will cover the labor process, pre-labor coaching, back labor remedies in addition to massage. You will also learn simple easy routines to educate the new mother to soothe her infant. The students walk out with a greater understanding of the different oils you can use, the benefits and contraindications, what acupressure points are helpful and which points to stay away from and the positioning when working on a pregnant mom. 

I am always able to find mom's that are pregnant to come in and get a massage.  This too is a great surprise to most students that they are able to actually massage someone who is pregnant and feel the magic themselves in a safe environment.  It is always amazing to me to see the transformation and the ability students take with them from this class.  This class is fun and exciting.
