Massage for Pregnant Women: How to Make Safe and Satisfying Practice Modifications

10 Hour CE Course

   Print this Page

Home Study: Cognitive

This course requires a textbook that is not downloadable but the test and certificate are available online   

Description: Based on Pre- and Perinatal Massage Therapy by Carole Osborne-Sheets, this course presents the conceptual preparation you need to confidently locate further training or deepen what you’ve already learned about pre- and perinatal massage. Combining research, scholarship and compassion, the author shares how she individualizes her work with childbearing women in a wide variety of circumstances. The recommendations on how and when to adapt or avoid particular techniques are especially valuable. This course does not teach hands-on skills. Please seek additional experience, with a mentor, to add hands-on skills.
