OVERVIEW

Pregnancy Massage is organized by Niel Asher Education.

Pregnancy massage requires far more than simply adapting standard massage techniques. It demands a clear understanding of the physical, emotional, and practical needs of pregnant clients, together with careful attention to safety, positioning, contraindications, comfort, and professional scope.

Pregnancy Massage provides a practical and thoughtful foundation for therapists who want to support expectant mothers with greater confidence, sensitivity, and care throughout pregnancy, labor, and the post-partum period.

Presented by experienced massage therapist and educator Maureen Abson, this course explores how pregnancy changes the body, how those changes influence treatment choices, and how massage may be adapted to provide comfort, relaxation, and appropriate support at every stage of pregnancy.

Description:
Across this 5.5-hour CE/CPD course, participants will explore the foundations of pregnancy massage, including safety considerations, treatment adaptations, client positioning, contraindications, communication strategies, and professional best practices.

The course examines how pregnancy affects the body and how therapists can modify treatment approaches to meet the changing needs of pregnant clients while maintaining appropriate safety and comfort.

Participants will also explore supportive approaches for labor and post-partum care, helping them develop a more complete understanding of how massage may contribute to wellbeing throughout the pregnancy journey.

Supported by 16 online video classes, fully illustrated course notes, a comprehensive companion course, lesson quizzes, online examination, certificate of completion, and lifetime access, this course provides a structured learning experience for professionals working with pregnant clients.
