Foundations of Prenatal Massage:
A Clinical Approach
An in-person continuing education workshop for hands-on birth and bodywork professionals
Develop clinical confidence, precision, and sustainability in prenatal care — without sacrificing your own body.
Workshop Overview
Prenatal work requires more than avoiding contraindications.
It requires clinical reasoning, thoughtful positioning, and sustainable technique — for both the client and the practitioner.
Foundations of Prenatal Massage: A Clinical Approach is a hands-on, in-person workshop designed to help professionals working with pregnant bodies:
• Feel confident and grounded supporting prenatal clients
• Deliver effective results using precision instead of pressure
• Protect hands, shoulders, and long-term career longevity
This course emphasizes doing more with less:
• More intention
• More clarity
• More confidence
• Less force, less strain, less burnout
