Fundamentals-Module Vl: Belly Massage–1.5 CE’s

$29.00

1.5 CE’s.  A unique aspect of working with pregnant clients is the opportunity to massage two people at once. This is especially notable when you massage the belly, whether in the first trimester when the uterus is barely palpable or visible, or in the 3rd trimester, when baby may be kicking and wriggling under your hands and right in front of your eyes! Baby is influenced by your touch, feels the massage, and experiences a difference in the intrauterine environment as the mother relaxes deeply during a massage. Belly massage allows therapist and mother time to acknowledge baby’s presence and experience.

It will also address contraindications and precautions, and the questions you will inevitably be asked about products to help relieve or prevent pregnancy belly stretch marks.
