Teaching Prenatal Partner Massage

This course material should absolutely be given in massage school. All I can say is that I now feel tremendous relief and increased confidence having taken this course. The information was outstanding - both comprehensively and in the practical details given. Everybody should take this course as an essential part of their foundation in their massage business regardless of whether prenatal massage clients are their clientele.

L. Lavin, LMT, NCTMB

This course was phenomenal. I have taken study at home courses before and the materials were not nearly as thorough and extensive as those that came with this course. I will definitely use your courses in the future and recommend them to my friends and colleagues.

J. Randall, LMT

This was a great course. I love how they integrated business building tips for teaching massage to couples. This will definitely be a benefit to my practice!

S. Page, LMT, ABMP

I was very pleased with the content of this course; it was clear and easy to use. The video was a great enhancement, as it showed hands-on techniques that can be put to use immediately. The addition of material suitable for photocopying and handing out to clients will be very helpful to me in my practice. Thank you for a great course!

J. McAllister, LMT, NCTMB, AMTA

This course has gone over and beyond my expectations, and being privy to teaching couples massage education, offering handouts, and access to a revised intake form far exceeded this courses potential. I'm a very visual hands-on learner and it helped me to have a video accompanying the literature seeing as it's harder to learn the correct technique from a one dimensional, immobile manual."

D. J. Posillico, LMT

I felt the material was succinct, well written, easily understood and comprehended. I thoroughly enjoyed taking this [course]. The accompanying video and guide as to setting up training with couples was invaluable.

B. Grimes, LMT

Great course. The video was a bit dated, but it was still really good. Great explanation of moves.

Lisa Wicklund, LMT, NCTMB

Very long exam but I think its worth it. Thank you very much I really gained confidence in doing this modality.

I found this course extremely interesting and very informative. I thought the content was presented and explained very clearly and thoroughly. I enjoyed it very much!

Janine Ertel-Graziano, LMT

This class was wonderful. Very informative and easy to follow. I learned more in this course than I did at the class when I was going to school to get my LMT. I will now feel much more confident about giving a pregnancy massage and can't wait to start setting things up for a class of my own. Thank you for offering this class. I truly enjoyed it!
