The Loving Pregnancy Massage home study program was developed to help massage and bodywork professionals learn how to give a healthful and relaxing massage treatment to a healthy woman during the course of a normal, low-risk pregnancy as well as teach prenatal partner massage to expectant couples.

This home study program covers fundamental Swedish massage, acupressure, and reflexology techniques, contraindications, proper body positioning, equipment and supplies, and recommendations for conducting expectant couple classes.

Intended for use as a teaching aid for workshops, the video presentation was designed for couples to enable them to see close-ups of proper techniques while you personally supervise. Also included is permission to photocopy client handouts as well as public performance rights of the video guide for expectant couple classes.

Materials

  • DVD - 55 minutes
  • Audio - 90 minutes
  • Manual - 133 pages including client handouts
  • Workbook with multiple choice test - if you prefer to test online please select the "online test" option

Testimonials

This course material should absolutely be given in massage school. All I can say is that I now feel tremendous relief and increased confidence having taken this course. The information was outstanding - both comprehensively and in the practical details given. Everybody should take this course as an essential part of their foundation in their massage business regardless of whether prenatal massage clients are their clientele.

- L. Lavin, LMT, NCTMB

This was a great course. I love how they integrated business building tips for teaching massage to couples. This will definitely be a benefit to my practice!

- S. Page, LMT, NCTMB, ABMP

I was very pleased with the content of this course; it was clear and easy to use. The video was a great enhancement, as it showed hands-on techniques that can be put to use immediately. The addition of material suitable for photocopying and handing out to clients will be very helpful to me in my practice. Thank you for a great course!

- J. McAllister, LMT, NCTMB, AMTA

This course has gone over and beyond my expectations, and being privy to teaching couples massage education, offering handouts, and access to a revised intake form far exceeded this courses potential. I'm a very visual hands-on learner and it helped me to have a video accompanying the literature seeing as it's harder to learn the correct technique from a one dimensional, immobile manual."

- D. J. Posillico, LMT

I felt the material was succinct, well written, easily understood and comprehended. I thoroughly enjoyed taking this [course]. The accompanying video and guide as to setting up training with couples was invaluable.
