  • Perinatal Massage for Pregnancy and Childbirth

    Receiving massage therapy is an effective way to increase relaxation and ease discomfort, making it an ideal technique to utilize during pregnancy. This 3-hour class is designed for birth partners to learn why, where, and how to implement massage therapy techniques for a birthing person during pregnancy and labor. Participants will learn to identify where pregnant/birthing people may experience discomfort and practice specific techniques in a variety of positions from head-to-toe. Focus will be on safety and awareness as well as helpful tips to implement at the end of pregnancy to prepare for labor. This class offering is a fusion of my life’s work of teaching, being a certified childbirth educator, and a licensed massage therapist. I look forward to sharing it with you!
