Little Therapy Space Professional Training Courses

The Level 3 Diploma in Pregnancy Massage & Bodywork Course is an in-depth course designed to equip Massage Therapists with the detailed knowledge and techniques required to provide outstanding care for pregnant women.

I am passionate about Massage Therapists being able to access a course that allows them to offer treatments to their clients that goes above and beyond a simple Pregnancy Massage. Our clients deserve the best and that’s what I want my students to be confident in being able to offer them. Pregnancy is a transformative and often challenging time, and skilled massage and bodywork can play a critical role in supporting physical, emotional, and mental well-being throughout the pregnancy.

This course will go beyond the basics, that a one or two day course provides; diving into the unique physiological, hormonal, and structural changes that occur throughout pregnancy and really giving Therapists the ‘toolbox’ of knowledge to cater for their clients throughout their whole pregnancy and into late pregnancy and preparing for birth.

You will learn how to safely adapt massage techniques to address common pregnancy discomforts such as back pain, carpal tunnel, sciatica and hip pain and stress, while ensuring the comfort and safety of both the client and the baby. You will also be equipped with the knowledge to assist women in ensuring they are keeping their body as mobile and flexible as possible to create an optimum space for the baby and allow them to choose the best way to enter the pelvis. With clues from the Mother we are able to ascertain how the baby lies and where there may be restrictions. Knowing this allows us to then work with her body to not just allow her to be pain free but also to assist the baby in it’s journey.

Key highlights of this course include:

• Anatomy and Physiology of Pregnancy: Understanding the body’s changes trimester by trimester.
• Advanced Techniques: Tailored approaches for working with musculoskeletal imbalances and specific pregnancy-related conditions.
• Positioning and Safety Protocols: Ensuring the client’s comfort and safety with bolstering and positioning techniques and learning how to adapt a session.
• An understanding of the process of Birth: Ensuring the Mother’s body assists rather than hinders the baby’s journey and how we can help that as her Therapist.

Throughout the course, there will be a blend of theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice, ensuring you leave confident in your ability to deliver the best care to your pregnant clients. I want you to be able to set yourself apart as a knowledgable and trusted professional within this field.

On day 4 you will have the chance to work with a pregnant mother and show the skills and knowledge you have learnt over the 4 days.

Who is this Course for?

Qualified Level 3 Massage Therapists or Physios and other body workers with Massage experience.

How could I progress from here?

Building your business to cater for Pregnant Mothers allows you to either specialise in this field and/or widen your knowledge and create a hub for women.

Assessment for certification:

There is some pre learning to get you into the subject before you start the course. Assessments include multiple choice questions, assignments, a final practical assessment on day 4, and completion of 4 case studies on pregnant clients.

Time limit to complete:

The course is made up of 4 contact days but you will have up to 6 months to complete the case studies and the assignments and once everything is handed in and marked you will receive your certificate. You will be invited to join a WhatsApp group where you can support your peers through the course but also use this to communicate, ask questions and feel supported by me.

Once the 4 days are complete we will have group zoom calls to assist with any issues you may be having or questions you may want to ask. Whilst I am running my courses you will be welcome to stay on the group and get any help you feel you need from me.

Why train with me?

Importantly I like to keep my classes small so that I can be hands on for help and support at any time. I have been massaging pregnant women for over 18 years. I have never stopped updating, learning and equipping myself with the skills that I know makes me stand out from other Pregnancy Massage Therapists and I want to be able to pass this knowledge and experience onto you. I still work full time with my clients and this is important because I keep up to date with changes within the area.

Many Pregnancy massage courses teach you to massage but don’t cover the Bodywork I have included and don’t teach working with clients up until Birth…helping them to keep their body as flexible and mobile as possible and actually help educate and support them through this time. I am passionate about helping women through this stage but equally as passionate to make sure Therapists working with Pregnant clients have the confidence and knowledge to give an outstanding treatment.
