This course is relevant for you if you are working or would like to work with women during the third trimester and will enable you to create birth preparation sessions or even classes for birth partners. It will also help you explore whether you want to support clients during their birth, or add to your skills if you already support clients during birth.
You will understand how birth impacts on your work in the postnatal period, both with mothers and with babies. Indeed, since birth impacts on the mother and baby for the rest of their lives, understanding more about birth will benefit your understanding of work with all clients. It may also help you understand more about your own birth process and its implications. Note for shiatsu practitioners that you must have completed a foundation course with Suzanne in Bristol or London or elsewhere or with Nicola near London to enroll onto this course.
Massage therapists need to have attended Pregnancy Massage Diploma. Please contact us for more information. After the second course which was focusing on birth, I experienced a huge difference in my body. We did a lot of spirals and movements in the hips and already during and after the course I felt my woman-power so much, it was amazing.
I am pretty sure that this course also had an effect on my menstruation, which used to be painful for several years, and changed completely now! Running since , this course covers all you need to know to be able to safely and effectively work with women in the third trimester, low and higher risk, attend births or create birth preparation sessions or classes for women and their birth partners. During the course you will teach a birth preparation session to a woman in the third trimester with her partner and after the course you have an opportunity if you wish to work with supervised case studies.
This will enable you to integrate the new techniques with your current way of working.
