Product Description

Empowering Therapists to Support Mothers Through Every Trimester

Why Pregnancy Massage?

Pregnancy is a profound journey—filled with joy, transformation, and unique challenges. As a massage therapist, you have the opportunity to provide comfort, reduce stress, and promote wellness for both mother and baby. Our Certificate of Pregnancy Massage course is designed to give you the skills, knowledge, and confidence to deliver safe, effective, and nurturing care throughout all stages of pregnancy.

What You’ll Learn

This course goes far beyond basic massage techniques. You’ll explore:

✅ The physiological and hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy—and how they affect treatment

✅ Trimester-specific massage recommendations to ensure safety and effectiveness

✅ A Woman-Centred Care approach that honours the emotional and physical needs of each client

✅ Recognition of high-risk pregnancy conditions and when massage is contraindicated

✅ Anatomy and musculoskeletal adaptations during pregnancy, including postural shifts and joint stress

✅ Safe and supportive client positioning for each trimester

✅ Full-body pregnancy massage techniques, including unique abdominal massage to foster mother-baby connection

✅ Specialised techniques to ease lower back pain, hip and piriformis discomfort, with our specialised technique Release Point Therapy (RPT) and myofascial releases for hip, back, and shoulder pain

Course Format

2 Day training face to face : Over two days of face-to face training we’ll take a deep dive into a wide range of therapeutic applications designed to support women throughout every stage of pregnancy with comprehensive, evidence-base massage techniques.
