hands-on prenatal and postpartum massage certification. Prenatal and
postpartum massage is therapeutic bodywork focusing on the special needs
of the expectant mother. This presentation will teach you the ins and
outs of working with your pregnant client through every phase of the
childbirth experience. From common complaints like morning sickness,
fatigue and mood swings, to back, neck and shoulder pain, contraindications
and special points. Working with pregnancy is an exceptional experience
that should be included in the services you offer, but undertaken only
by massage practitioners with this type of extra training and insight.

Wed., May 21; or Fri., June 13
10-6 pm Sat., Dec. 1 Fri., Feb. 1 Sat., Apr. 19 Is it relaxation massage, therapeutic or medical? Are you tired of
hearing that your Swedish massage session is somehow less important,
less therapeutic, and less medical in nature? Imagine if you performed
your Swedish strokes in accordance with the precise body anatomy and
physiology of the soft tissue and central nervous system. In addition,
by utilizing the peripheral receptors such as touch, pressure, vibration
and temperature, and arranging them in just the right sequence, we can
layer by layer affect the central nervous system profoundly and easily
coax your client into an incredibly deeper state of relaxation. As Dr.
T. exclaims “It would be like literally peeling the stress from
your clients mind.” Would that be medical enough for you? The
moving of soft tissue based on the science of the human frame and the
utilization of the peripheral receptors of the body can turn any relaxation
massage into a massage work of art. Dr. T. will spend the day teaching
you to literally supercharge your Swedish massage and then just watch
your clientele grow.
