Integrative Pregnancy Massage Certification-18 CEUS

Live Class for LMTS and Acupuncturists

Integrative Pregnancy Massage is a certification course for massage therapists, acupuncturists and allied health care providers interested in the integrative techniques of massage and bodywork. The course begins with an in-depth analysis of the anatomy and physiology of preconception, each trimester of pregnancy, labor and postpartum period.  Students will be acquainted with these stages from both a traditional Western understanding and an Oriental medical and energetic perspective.  We will examine the history of birth and the delivery methods practiced around the world.  We will explore ways to enhance the pregnancy experience and encourage women to connect with their pregnancy process thru breathwork and abdominal massage methods.

We will discuss the treatment and co-management of common and high-risk conditions, appropriate positioning, props, maintaining records and liability concerns. Participants will become acquainted with the parameters of employing massage modalities such as deep tissue, NMT, hydro and spa therapies, reflexology and acupressure techniques with this population.

Participants will learn methods for integrating essential oils, acupressure points and advanced techniques for the enhancement of their effects in pregnant, laboring and postpartum clients. Participants will be required to both give and receive a side-lying massage. Please bring sheets, lotion, and 3 standard pillows.
