10 Hour CE Course
Do you have the Pre- and Perinatal Massage Therapy textbook? See your enrollment options above for "I already own the text".
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.

This course taught me SO much. As an expectant mother and massage therapist I took in an abundance of information not only to help my clients, but I've also learned so much for myself too. After taking this course, I have changed my mind about the epidural and am excited to take on the challenge of having an all natural birth in order to make sure I have a successful birth as well as ensure the mother to child bond. I am also going to start looking for a massage therapist or doula who will be able to assist me in my own birth. I am very excited to get a pregnant woman on my table!Dawn Casella, LMT
