Or for a massage therapist that would like to learn a therapeutic approach to prenatal massage. In our 6 hours together, we will navigate through the physical and emotional changes that happen during pregnancy and ways to adjust to our clients needs at each session (either with position adjustments, problem focused sessions, or supporting in their journey). We will also discuss how to incorporate pressure point massage in a safe but effective way to help prepare for labor. There will be discussion on how to support your client by giving them “homework” between sessions, as well. Supplies to bring: Sheets, lubricant, 3 regular size pillows (or 1 regular size and 1 body pillow), paper and pen for notes.
