Course Description
Help Expectant Mothers Feel Comfortable, Relaxed, and Cared For
Pregnancy massage is one of the most rewarding treatments you can offer. Not only can you make a real difference during one of the most important times in a woman's life, but you'll also add a highly sought-after service that many therapists never learn.
In this course, I'll teach you exactly how I perform prenatal massage safely, comfortably, and confidently in a real clinic setting.
The Biggest Mistake Most Therapists Make
Many therapists avoid prenatal massage because they think it's uncomfortable to perform, difficult to position the client, or they're worried about doing something wrong.
I understand completely—I used to feel exactly the same.
That's why this course focuses on techniques that are comfortable for both you and your client, allowing you to give an incredible massage without putting unnecessary strain on your own body.
What You'll Learn
Safe prenatal massage techniques.
Correct client positioning throughout pregnancy.
Proper support using pillows and bolsters.
Massage techniques for every stage of pregnancy.
How to reduce strain on your own back, shoulders, and hands.
How to create a relaxing experience that expectant mothers will never forget.
Benefits of Prenatal Massage
You'll learn techniques that may help clients with:
Lower back pain.
Sciatica.
Hip discomfort.
Neck and shoulder tension.
Swollen legs and feet.
Stress and anxiety.
Poor sleep.
Muscle fatigue.
Why Add Prenatal Massage to Your Practice?

Attract a completely new group of loyal clients.
Stand out from other massage therapists.
Generate repeat bookings throughout pregnancy.

The course was amazing! It was packed with great information, clear demonstrations, and practical techniques. The instructor made everything easy to understand and engaging from start to finish. It was fun to watch, well organized and I left feeling more confident in what I learned. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to expand their knowledge and skills.

Such a great refresher. My first pregnancy client ever in the 8 years I've been licensed. I feel more prepared

Loved this course. I am already trained in relaxtion massage and have been doing it for the last 3 years a local spa here in my hometown. I was really interested in doing pregnancy massage for some time now. My husband found this website and i signed up to do it straight away. What I loved is that it was affordable as all the other ones i looked at were hundreds of dollars. I could study at my own pace. The information and videos were very informative and easy to follow along. I can't wait to start practising pregnancy massage! Thank you very much :)

This is a really informative course. I wish I would have received the notification that there would not be a pregnant client in the demonstration prior to paying for the course. I was hoping there would be some draping demonstrations for the legs while the client is in a supine position without exposing or making them feel exposed. There is a lot of information I am picking up and I do enjoy the learning portion of this course. The instructor really knows his stuff and clearly explains everything as he goes along.

A very clear, informative and enjoyable walk through pregnancy massage. After several practice sessions on non-pregnant models I gave my first official pregnancy massage this morning to a lovely lady in her third trimester and she left very happy! So it's 5 stars from her as well.

Mark was so careful and informative when it came to this course, which I'm really grateful for as it is such a delicate treatment and can be very scary for moms. I've learnt a lot from him, I'm really grateful, was so easy to pick up and learn from him, I would definitely recommend this course!
By April Armstrong on 1/29/2026
This course was phenomenal! I have been wanting to do prenatal massage for years and this course has me feeling very prepared to work with my first client. I love how this modality isn't hard on the body, yet most effective for the client and baby. The information was thorough and very easy to follow his flow. I appreciate the experience is taking this course and recommend to anyone.
By Rachel Southard on 1/12/2026
Mark is a joy to learn from! He delivers information in a way that is easy to understand and explains points thoroughly and is hands on demonstrations are well explained. The small videos are very helpful to squeeze class in during a busy day too! With some hands on practice I feel Mark's Prenatal Course has well equipped me to do Prenatal Massage. Thanks Mark!
