I am preparing for my very first prenatal massage this Saturday. I’ve been a licensed massage therapist for just under a year now & I am loving my new career!!!! So very grateful to have chosen this path, but I am nervous about my first actually pregnant client & this video is really helping boost my confidence!!!! Thank you so much! You officially have a new subscriber & follower 🙏
Congratulations on your career choice! I love what I do too. 35 years and counting. You will do great tomorrow! Anything you can do for a mommy to be will be appreciated! She will feel good after you finish! Your intention is the best ingredient 🤗👍🏼
Hi ma'am from your long bit expertise in this armotherapy where do you find the Word of Ease And Sufficient income in the form of having a Good Life ? Can we have a glimpse about the Income ?
Congratulations on your 20 years as a massage therapist !!!! What a wonderful career! Thank you so much for your beautiful words!!! From one therapist to another ❤️🤗🙏
Thank you- concurrently in acupuncture school now, which is amazing! And you have 35+ years of massage?! Fingers crossed I can still be practicing in 15-20++ years too. Bowing to you & thanking you.❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely loving your aura, ma’am! I can tell you love your profession and you really put lots of effort into doing this massage! Very nice! You have to be a philanthropist to dedicate your lifetime to easing other people’s pains and aches. May you be blessed with the best health yourself!
Going for my first massage today at 31 weeks and wanted to know what to expect. This was a very relaxing video to watch. I was drifting off to sleep watching it. What a wonderful therapist
Britney congratulations on your beautiful pregnancy. That how far the model is too! I’m sure your having aches & pains too. It’s wonderful when I hear people relax just by watching! I hope you receive a massage too. Best of luck to you & baby.

Excellent video! I had been an MT for 7 years before I became a nurse, but hardly ever did prenatals. Now my wife is pregnant and this served as a great brush-up, thank you!
Lara Tan no I don’t have a video specifically about that. You need to make sure they are cleared from their doctor. Once you have a dr. Ok you can work on them. There is many different types of cervical or lumbar issues everything from stenosis, herniated or slipped disk etc so my suggestion is to take some medical massage training or NMT. This will help you out as to how to work these areas. For the most part if the injuries are a few yrs old you can work the soft tissue without extreme stretching. I’m sorry this is so vague however there’s so much information it’s difficult to teach it in 1 video or 1 conversation. I hope this helps you.

Very thorough, and I loved how you put Erica at ease, questioning the pressure level, and the do's and dont's in specific areas. I'm a former massage practitioner, and you brought me back to the good memories of pampering massage clients. This video will be shared with my son, who is finishing up his nursing degree, and his wife, expecting their first child, and my first grandchild. Thanks for being very informative on the anatomy, as well as your kindness to share this. God bless you!
First: congratulations on your expecting your first grand baby! Second: I really appreciate your feedback and your attention to detail! Third: this world needs more caring, sensitive and kind people like yourself! Fourth: I’m sure your clients miss you because you sound like a marvelous therapist! So out of curiosity I would like to know how come you’re a “former” therapist? Many blessings to you and your family ❤️🤗🎄
Awesome techniques! You can tell you really know your stuff. I am currently 31 weeks along with my first baby and literally dreaming about a massage like this 😭 I know I’m in the home stretch now but I am officially starting to feel exhausted lol

Hola María,, revisando el vídeo nuevamente para trabajarlo con mi hija.. And I have to say that your amazing, and I’m blessed to have you as a direct teacher!!!! Love you Maria, your a great spirit!!!!🙏🏽
Congratulations on your daughters pregnancy! It was wonderful to have you in the classroom you were an exemplary student! Top of your class & so studious. I still have your cardiovascular project that I use as a model! The best! Cuídate y muchas gracias por tú apoyo 🤗❤️
Thank you so much ! I have been a massage therapist and reflexologist for 15 years, your videos and generosity give me inspiration and added confidence in this case with pregnant women.
Your videos have been indispensable to me as a new therapist! I hear your voice in my head while giving massage, lol. Thank you for sharing your clarity, wisdom, expertise and humor. I was surprised to see Erica side-lying on the wedge; it doesn't seem comfortable and it puts her spine at an angle to her hips. I'm wondering if you would please elaborate on the benefit of choosing side-lying wedge support for upper body vs side-lying cervical support w a hugging pillow? Thank you so much
Vivian I truly appreciate your compliment! It makes me happy to know you feel comfortable to ask questions. The main reason for using the wedge was to keep her inclined in the supine position. It wasn’t uncomfortable on the sideline position because she wasn’t that big however you brought up a good point! That it compromised her spinal column. I could have taken it off & done exactly what you described just having her hug a pillow. I always go by how the client feel more comfortable so either way is correct. If you don’t have to work too deep & client is comfortable the wedge on sideline is ok. Thanks for the question ❤️🤗
Congratulations on booking your massage!!! Most people just “wish” they were getting a massage. Enjoy & congrats on your pregnancy! Best of wishes for you & your baby!!
27weeks preg, watching this with my husband so he can try it😍. My sacroiliac joint is giving me so much pain at night. Your video is so satisfying and relaxing ! Thank you!
Congratulations Hana on your pregnancy! How exciting you’re creating new life! I can imagine how your SI joints hurt. I hope your husband can help you find some relief. You’ll need to tip him good after the massage if he does a good job 🤗😊. Best of wishes for you and the baby. Keep us posted!
Very nice video. This was super informative and a high quality video. Thank you for making such a high quality massage video from one massage therapist to another. 🙏🏻❤
Thank you for the compliment! Yes this video is one of the best because the videographer I had at the time did an amazing job!!!! You can tell the difference of when I record on my own or when I have a videographer lol 😆
What an excellent video. I love this and I have been a MT for the last 19 years. Love following your videos. I still always learn new techniques. Thank you!
Thank you for all your video's! They are so informative and helpful. I have a question on this one. Is there a reason why you didn't put a bolster under her knee's?
Cheryl Weaver yes! Because I forgot it! We went to record at a friends house & I packed everything except the bolster & my black pants! Thus the reason I look totally silly wearing white pants! I also only bolster when people have low back pain. Thanks for your question
Thank you for all your videos! 🙏🙏🙏❤ You're a kind of person who's sreading kindness and your experience with such a generosity ! I really appreciate you and your work. 🙏❤ Wish you all the best🍀 and to continue to bring this love and kindness to people! Love from France ❤🙏

You have great and very informative videos on top of being relaxing! Sp interesting all the info about your body during pregnancy, alot of that I did not know. Makes you realize just how amazing the human body really is. I really like how you draw the muscle groups onto people so we get a good idea of how muscles are laid out and how to work them. Glad I found your channel 🙂 thanks for another good one!

wow. Bless you. I just finished my holistic massage course and want to major in prenatal massage and baby massage. Thank you for your videos extremely helpful.
Congratulations on knowing exactly what you want to do. This genre will greatly appreciate you for it. We need more good therapist in this field. Thank you for your feedback
That is music to my ears and joy in my heart!!!! I love helping students & massage therapist became the best version of themselves! You got it!!! Congratulations on having the initiative to continue learning and being a good therapist!!! Stay healthy and strong
I turn them to both sides so I can get both hips & low back. They usually don’t mind. I help them & let them take their time! Thank you for your comment
Massage Therapeutics that is so crazy!! I came across your amazing videos not that long ago and I just realized you live in El Paso!?? I live on the westside of El Paso! I would love to receive a massage from you!! Your hand movements are just natural, almost like they have a mind of their own!! So good!
I’ve always been interested in Prenatal and always would find myself watching Childbirth videos! I originally wanted to do Labor and Delivery but now I’m interested in Prenatal Massage and Doula. I’m a Massage Therapist student who plans on starting an Prenatal Massage and Doula Practice. I’ve always wanted to become a Doula and MidWife. I’ll be finished both the Doula Training and my Massage Therapy at the same time! And then off to MidWife education! Thanks so much for sharing this, it really means the world to me! ❤

Amazing massage. I am 26 weeks pregnant and unfortunately I can’t have a massage due to the coronavirus. All salons are closed 😢 thank you for your work 😍
Congratulations on your pregnancy! I’m sorry you can’t get a massage during this time. It is all strange and different for now. I hope you & baby stay healthy and strong 🤗❤️
What a beautiful massage! I have to disagree, however with ONE point you made about not working around the medial and lateral malleolus. Although deep pressure would be contraindicated, stimulating these points assist mama's body during pregnancy. Massage is powerful, but it won't cause miscarriage in a healthy pregnancy!
Nicolle Barrett I totally agree with you!!!! I just can’t say that. I’ve massaged so many pregnant women over the past 31yrs & it has never been an issue. I even worked on one that wanted me to do specific deep massage on the ankles because she was 10 days past her due date. It didn’t work😂. They induced her the following week. I hate to say this because I know I’m going to get criticized by someone out there however there’s a lot of paranoid people out there. They pick everything apart so I must be careful. Thank you for being brave to post this & disagreeing with me so professionally. I really appreciate that! I’m smart enough to know we all have different techniques & ways & there’s no need to be negative & attack anyone. I really appreciate this comment
Massage Therapeutics it's surprising to me that ANYONE would attack you with negative comments, but I guess it takes all kinds. Your work is so lovely, and I get hypnotized by your flow! Thank you for your kind response, and yes, I've had similar experiences with MT's who refuse to cover for me if a client of mine is pregnant. As you stated at the beginning, creating life is sacred, and one of the MOST important times to receive touch and body therapy. 28 years ago I actually had a male teacher tell me no woman should get massage while pregnant because , "It is too transformative"...🙄 I have had a lot of success bringing on delayed menses deeply working those ankle points, and on up the medial pressure points of the leg. Love your work!! Blessings💞
Nicolle Barrett you’re pretty amazing yourself! It’s so heart warming to meet kindred spirits! You keep doing your thing because you’re making a difference in this world. Touch is so important & underestimated. There’s power in what we do & we can make a difference one massage at a time! It’s wonderful having this conversation with you Nicolle. My best to you & all that you do!
Yesssss @mistibear thank yuuu! I had a coworker get salty at me today because I said I massage a pregnant woman’s whole body. She said you’re not supposed to go below the knees…girl bye 😭😂 IMMA MASSAGE MY PRENATAL CLIENTS!! I’m very aware of just what you said, not deep in that specific spot (medial and lateral malleolus areas) A nice medium/firm Swedish ain’t hurting anybody. They love it so much 🥰
Thanks for the wonderful class🙏. My question is, as I do swedish/hotstone and deep tissue I do start my massages at the lower foot, and for prenatal you hv started at the head it this the procedure for this massage only? 2ndly she has turned one side only I hope she has to turn on the other side🙄
Every therapist may learn a different routine and way to start. I like to start at the head because most people have a lot of tension on the neck and shoulders. It helps to start relaxing them from the beginning. Another reason I start at the head is because I don’t like to touch the face after working on the feet!!! And I do turn the client on both sides if they are able to. It’s just a matter of what your preference is. Thanks for the comment
Amazing job! Just out of curiosity, what kind of bolster are you using for the client to lay on? Is it a regular wedge bolster or a triangle bolster? I'd love to find one just like that!
I’m sorry to hear that you can’t book a massage. Where do you live? Maybe you can get your partner to give you a light massage just to release some tension & get your blood flowing! Stay healthy and strong 🤗
Had my first prenatal massage today and honestly it hurt more than I could enjoy.. I'm so tense in my shoulders and neck and she just kept digging her thumbs. Even when she could feel me tensing up more. I just didn't enjoy it 😞 but this video gave me hope that I can have a massage where I feel relaxed. ❤️
abercrombiezombiee it really upsets me when therapist are not sensitive to the clients needs! You have every right to let the therapist know if she needs to back off! It’s your time & sometimes you just need to relax. Please don’t give up on finding a good therapist that can listen to what you would like that day! Best of luck to you & baby 👶
@Roseanne Schmidt This is the reason that therapists need to have a thorough intake where they make sure to emphasize to the client that they not only WELCOME but WANT feedback from the client. Also what the pain scale is and to speak up if it is over the level they wish (or under). So many clients will not take it upon themselves to just speak out, we have to really encourage communication. Also watching facial expressions will give a sensitive therapist a clue as to the comfort of the client...
Timothy Simmons this is a very good question. It is recommended that your client lay on her left side. However she can lay on her right side for a short period of time. I usually start with them on the left side & do as much work as possible then turn them on the right side to work their hip & low back for 10-15 min max. Glad you know your stuff!
@@MassageTherapeutics915 Buenas noches Maria este video lo estoy viendo en mayo del 2022 y tengo una pregunta los 15 min aproximados que trabajas en espalda es por cada lado? O es el tiempo total en espalda? Ojala puedas leer mi pregunta....;)
Wow! So the training I got had me avoid glutes and hips because of possible accupressure points causing contractions and possible labor. Are the QLs okay to work? Other than the hands and feet, what else should I avoid? Would love to see a back view to see the techniques you're using. Thank you for this!!!
After the first trimester it’s ok to work it as long as the client is comfortable. If they are high risk I would definitely follow doctors orders. I’ve never had a problem working the QL on my pregnant ladies. Best of wishes for you.
24 weeks and definitely need a massage. i’ve always had back problems but now it’s worse 😩 i would look forward to the back massage, leg and feet massage.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Yes I know how difficult it is to have back problems and then add carrying a growing baby inside! Maybe you can get a relative just to rub your feet & a little on your back for now. Best thing is to get off your feet a couple of times a day and raise them. Best of wishes for you and the baby!
@@MassageTherapeutics915 thank you so much! pregnancy is no joke haha, but it’s amazing we are able to create life. i’ll definitely ask my husband to watch your video so he can help with that and will do what you recommended! your massages look like they’re the best. if only you were located in NC!
@@annngggx I’m sure you’re husband will be able to help relieve some of that tightness. His intent will help you feel better! 🤗 good luck with your babies birth 🙏
Thank you very much for your useful videos> Is it completely prohibited to massage before 12th month or there is only some limitition of some parts of the body.
fazel ahmad it is recommended not to massage in the 1st trimester however with doctors permission you can. It depends on whether the client is high risk or first pregnancy however make sure they have a doctor release to receive a massage. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing and mommies may be more sensitive so make sure you take clues from the client as to what feels good to them. They know where they feel the pressure. Just stay away from the ankles and wrists.
Que rico masaje, se ve que la futura mamá lo disfrutó y también el bebé, felicidades y muchas gracias maestra, saludos desde Guadalajara Jalisco México .
Lol 😆 that’s what friends are for!!! He might do a really good job. The most important rule he needs to be aware of is to Not put heavy pressure on the arms or legs going down towards the feet or hands. Massage pressure is always towards the heart ♥️ (reason being that the veins in the limbs have little valves that can be damaged) other then that he can do whatever works for you. Enjoy 😊 and congratulations on your pregnancy! Creating life is the biggest miracle!!
Hi, I am just wondering why you are applying pressure to the inner part of her legs? This is the area that I was taught not to massage because of possible blood clots.
Sabrina Wong because she doesn’t have blood clots. You always do a medical history prior to the massage. You check for pain, redness, heat and swelling which are the symptoms of blood clots. Great care must be taken every time however not everyone has blood clots. I hope this answers your question 🙏

I'm a former massage practitioner, and you brought me back to the good memories of pampering massage clients. This video will be shared with my son, who is finishing up his nursing degree, and his wife, expecting their first child, and my first grandchild. Thanks for being very informative on the anatomy, as well as your kindness to share this. God bless you!
First: congratulations on your expecting your first grand baby! Second: I really appreciate your feedback and your attention to detail! Third: this world needs more caring, sensitive and kind people like yourself! Fourth: I’m sure your clients miss you because you sound like a marvelous therapist! So out of curiosity I would like to know how come you’re a “former” therapist? Many blessings to you and your family ❤️🤗🎄
Awesome techniques! You can tell you really know your stuff. I am currently 31 weeks along with my first baby and literally dreaming about a massage like this 😭 I know I’m in the home stretch now but I am officially starting to feel exhausted lol
Congratulations on your pregnancy! How exciting to be having your first baby! Just think you are creating life! Of course that can be exhausting! Take good care of yourself and best of wishes for you and your baby! Blessings 🙏🤗❤️
Please keep those videos coming. I learned something every time I watch them. I’m old-school here and love learning new things still. Thanks again.
I really appreciate your comment!!!!
Hola María,, revisando el vídeo nuevamente para trabajarlo con mi hija.. And I have to say that your amazing, and I’m blessed to have you as a direct teacher!!!! Love you Maria, your a great spirit!!!!🙏🏽
Congratulations on your daughters pregnancy! It was wonderful to have you in the classroom you were an exemplary student! Top of your class & so studious. I still have your cardiovascular project that I use as a model! The best! Cuídate y muchas gracias por tú apoyo 🤗❤️
Thank you so much ! I have been a massage therapist and reflexologist for 15 years, your videos and generosity give me inspiration and added confidence in this case with pregnant women.
Congratulations on your 15 years of helping others!!!! I appreciate your feedback & support ❤️🤗
❤
I've been qualified in pregancy massage since 2018 this video and your expertise Maria have supported me so much. Thank you coach ❤
You are so welcome! I’m very grateful for you too!!!
Thanks for this. I found your videos when I was in massage school - you’re a blessing!
Happy to help! I really appreciate your feedback! Best of wishes for your career 🤗
Your videos have been indispensable to me as a new therapist! I hear your voice in my head while giving massage, lol. Thank you for sharing your clarity, wisdom, expertise and humor. I was surprised to see Erica side-lying on the wedge; it doesn't seem comfortable and it puts her spine at an angle to her hips. I'm wondering if you would please elaborate on the benefit of choosing side-lying wedge support for upper body vs side-lying cervical support w a hugging pillow? Thank you so much
Vivian I truly appreciate your compliment! It makes me happy to know you feel comfortable to ask questions. The main reason for using the wedge was to keep her inclined in the supine position. It wasn’t uncomfortable on the sideline position because she wasn’t that big however you brought up a good point! That it compromised her spinal column. I could have taken it off & done exactly what you described just having her hug a pillow. I always go by how the client feel more comfortable so either way is correct. If you don’t have to work too deep & client is comfortable the wedge on sideline is ok. Thanks for the question ❤️🤗
This was incredible at helping me prepare to do a prenatal massage tomorrow. I also loved your facial massage techniques. Thank you very much!
Glad it was helpful! As therapist we should continue to learn and grow! I really appreciate your feedback and support 🤗❤️
27 weeks pregnant and watching this imagining it was me 😂 just booked a massage for Monday!
Congratulations on booking your massage!!! Most people just “wish” they were getting a massage. Enjoy & congrats on your pregnancy! Best of wishes for you & your baby!!
Same! Lol 😂 im looking up places in my area! Im 29 weeks currently
34 weeks here pretending it’s me too lol
27weeks preg, watching this with my husband so he can try it😍. My sacroiliac joint is giving me so much pain at night.
Your video is so satisfying and relaxing ! Thank you!
Congratulations Hana on your pregnancy! How exciting you’re creating new life! I can imagine how your SI joints hurt. I hope your husband can help you find some relief. You’ll need to tip him good after the massage if he does a good job 🤗😊. Best of wishes for you and the baby. Keep us posted!
I love watching this !! Thenks so much the the classes am a therapist and i keep learning sure!
irine riziki you are very welcome! I’m happy that you continue to learn & grow! I’m the same way because I love to learn new things. 🤗
Very nice video. This was super informative and a high quality video. Thank you for making such a high quality massage video from one massage therapist to another. 🙏🏻❤
Thank you for the compliment! Yes this video is one of the best because the videographer I had at the time did an amazing job!!!! You can tell the difference of when I record on my own or when I have a videographer lol 😆
I'm learning a lot from you ma'am.
i’m currently 28 weeks and booked a prenatal massage that’s in a couple days ! watching these videos makes me more and more excited🥰
Congratulations on your pregnancy! What an exciting time! I hope you have a great experience! Please come back and share with us how it went 🤗❤️
What an excellent video. I love this and I have been a MT for the last 19 years. Love following your videos. I still always learn new techniques. Thank you!
Congratulations on your 19 years too!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Thank you for your support and kind words
Thank you for all your video's! They are so informative and helpful. I have a question on this one. Is there a reason why you didn't put a bolster under her knee's?
Cheryl Weaver yes! Because I forgot it! We went to record at a friends house & I packed everything except the bolster & my black pants! Thus the reason I look totally silly wearing white pants! I also only bolster when people have low back pain. Thanks for your question
@@MassageTherapeutics915 I figured you forgot the bolster because I do that myself! 😊 I thought maybe there was something I didn't know.
Cheryl Weaver I do the same thinking that there’s something new that I don’t know or understand. Sometimes it’s just because we are human!
Thank you for all your videos! 🙏🙏🙏❤
You're a kind of person who's sreading kindness and your experience with such a generosity ! I really appreciate you and your work. 🙏❤ Wish you all the best🍀 and to continue to bring this love and kindness to people! Love from France ❤🙏

I’m sorry to hear everything is booked! It’s good for massage business to be booked. Did you ask to be put on a waiting list? They have cancelations sometimes. Hope you get one soon! Thanks for the comment

Good for you! We need more massage therapist that specializes in prenatal massage! Best of wishes for you
You have great and very informative videos on top of being relaxing! Sp interesting all the info about your body during pregnancy, alot of that I did not know. Makes you realize just how amazing the human body really is. I really like how you draw the muscle groups onto people so we get a good idea of how muscles are laid out and how to work them. Glad I found your channel 🙂 thanks for another good one!
Thank you Lori for all your lovely comments. I’m glad you found me too & if you could please help me share the videos I would greatly appreciate it. With this lockdown I need to grow my channel! I can’t even make videos! I will continue as soon as it’s safe in the mean time I’m glad you’re enjoying them. Stay healthy and strong
@@MassageTherapeutics915 thank you and will do!
wow. Bless you. I just finished my holistic massage course and want to major in prenatal massage and baby massage. Thank you for your videos extremely helpful.
Congratulations on knowing exactly what you want to do. This genre will greatly appreciate you for it. We need more good therapist in this field. Thank you for your feedback
I would please like to see you do a video if you use the special pregnancy massage pillows where the client can lay on their stomach.
I'm 25 weeks and watching this completely relaxed me! I'm booked in for a massage this week, can't wait! Xx
Congratulations on your pregnancy and upcoming massage!! Enjoy 😊
Thanks Doc. You just got yourself a fan and student from Ghana. God bless.
Thank you! Congratulations on your schooling. I truly appreciate you!
Starting maternity massage at school this week, thank you for this great video!
You're so welcome! How exciting to be learning this modality!!! Please come back and share some of what you learned. Best of wishes.
I’ve learned so much from this women. Now I’m a massage therapist. two years now
That is music to my ears and joy in my heart!!!! I love helping students & massage therapist became the best version of themselves! You got it!!! Congratulations on having the initiative to continue learning and being a good therapist!!! Stay healthy and strong
I was wanting to see what you were doing on her back and hip area. Was she exposed and that’s why you didn’t show the back?
Actually the camera person didn’t have another camera to show the back & we were running out of time to move & set up again. Sorry about that
Do we keep our mom on one side the entire massage or do we ask them to switch ? Appreciate your content and expertise!🙏🏾🙏🏾
I turn them to both sides so I can get both hips & low back. They usually don’t mind. I help them & let them take their time! Thank you for your comment
I'm so grateful to find this. Very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to create this and for being so detailed!
And I’m very grateful that you took the time to leave a very positive compliment! Create a great day
I love your videos I learned to much,you’re skills are amazing ❤
Thank you so much! I appreciate your feedback!!!
I wish I could be one of the volunteers:)
Lidia Juarez you could be if you’re near the El Paso Area?
Massage Therapeutics that is so crazy!! I came across your amazing videos not that long ago and I just realized you live in El Paso!?? I live on the westside of El Paso! I would love to receive a massage from you!! Your hand movements are just natural, almost like they have a mind of their own!! So good!
I’ve always been interested in Prenatal and always would find myself watching Childbirth videos! I originally wanted to do Labor and Delivery but now I’m interested in Prenatal Massage and Doula. I’m a Massage Therapist student who plans on starting an Prenatal Massage and Doula Practice. I’ve always wanted to become a Doula and MidWife. I’ll be finished both the Doula Training and my Massage Therapy at the same time! And then off to MidWife education! Thanks so much for sharing this, it really means the world to me! ❤
What a great combination! I’ve had a few Doula’s graduate from our massage therapy program & they have gone on to do great things!!! Congrats on graduating from both at the same time! I know that’s not easy! Best of wishes for you & thanks for the comment!
@@MassageTherapeutics915 Thanks so much. I am so happy for your graduates. That’s so refreshing to hear! Best wishes to you as well. God bless you ❤️❤️❤️
@@Rothecreative thank you for the blessings
Awesome, what are the main areas of caution one should avoid when performing pre natal massage?
There’s several areas that I mentioned in the video. Around the ankles is one of them. No pressure on the abdominal area. Thanks for the comment
I love your stuff.
I always learn something or am reminded of what I learned in school.
Thank you!
Yes that’s perfectly said. We remember something we haven’t done in a while or learn something new. That’s exactly how I feel about learning too! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🤗❤️
I am soooo blest to have you as my teacher !!!!
Healing Synergy By Nora Awaw and I am blessed to have you as my student. You guys inspire me & keep me motivated! You’re all awesome!
This one of the best in depth video of prenatal. Thank you
I truly appreciate your compliment and feedback 🤗❤️🙏
Thanks Maria, n thanks to the lady for her time for us.
Blessings
sam nsadha meyer I will let her know you appreciate her. It’s difficult to get someone to volunteer for the whole world to see so yes I’m very grateful to all my models! Her baby is already 6 months old! Thank you for the blessings
Felt really relaxed by just watching 😍
I’m so glad to hear that! The venue was very relaxing too. Are you pregnant? I hope you are healthy and strong 🤗❤️
I was on the verge of falling asleep myself. Looks so relaxing.
That’s great! I appreciate the support and feedback
Super helpful and easy to understand! Thanks!

Just asked my bf for a massage when he get home. Can’t wait plus I scheduled an appointment for next Thursday. 23 weeks now 🥰
Congratulations! On both booking an appointment and your pregnancy 🤗
Amazing massage. I am 26 weeks pregnant and unfortunately I can’t have a massage due to the coronavirus. All salons are closed 😢 thank you for your work 😍
Congratulations on your pregnancy! I’m sorry you can’t get a massage during this time. It is all strange and different for now. I hope you & baby stay healthy and strong 🤗❤️
Message places should be open. It is essential.. I’m going tommorw and I am 29 weeks!
I miss doing prenatals at an incline. I need to get a wedge to replace the incline table I used to have. At the moment I have to do fully sidelying.
30 weeks. Wishing this was me too :( at least we can relax by watching a video if we can’t really afford a massage right now
I’m so glad to hear it helped you relax just by watching it! You only have 10 weeks to go! Good luck with your baby & congratulations 🤗❤️🙏
New dad's, take notes. 😅 This can reduce crankiness during pregnancy.😄💜
Hahaha 🤣 so very true! ❤️🤗
What a beautiful massage! I have to disagree, however with ONE point you made about not working around the medial and lateral malleolus. Although deep pressure would be contraindicated, stimulating these points assist mama's body during pregnancy. Massage is powerful, but it won't cause miscarriage in a healthy pregnancy!
Nicolle Barrett I totally agree with you!!!! I just can’t say that. I’ve massaged so many pregnant women over the past 31yrs & it has never been an issue. I even worked on one that wanted me to do specific deep massage on the ankles because she was 10 days past her due date. It didn’t work😂. They induced her the following week. I hate to say this because I know I’m going to get criticized by someone out there however there’s a lot of paranoid people out there. They pick everything apart so I must be careful. Thank you for being brave to post this & disagreeing with me so professionally. I really appreciate that! I’m smart enough to know we all have different techniques & ways & there’s no need to be negative & attack anyone. I really appreciate this comment
Massage Therapeutics it's surprising to me that ANYONE would attack you with negative comments, but I guess it takes all kinds. Your work is so lovely, and I get hypnotized by your flow! Thank you for your kind response, and yes, I've had similar experiences with MT's who refuse to cover for me if a client of mine is pregnant. As you stated at the beginning, creating life is sacred, and one of the MOST important times to receive touch and body therapy. 28 years ago I actually had a male teacher tell me no woman should get massage while pregnant because , "It is too transformative"...🙄 I have had a lot of success bringing on delayed menses deeply working those ankle points, and on up the medial pressure points of the leg. Love your work!! Blessings💞
Nicolle Barrett you’re pretty amazing yourself! It’s so heart warming to meet kindred spirits! You keep doing your thing because you’re making a difference in this world. Touch is so important & underestimated. There’s power in what we do & we can make a difference one massage at a time! It’s wonderful having this conversation with you Nicolle. My best to you & all that you do!
Yesssss @mistibear thank yuuu! I had a coworker get salty at me today because I said I massage a pregnant woman’s whole body. She said you’re not supposed to go below the knees…girl bye 😭😂 IMMA MASSAGE MY PRENATAL CLIENTS!! I’m very aware of just what you said, not deep in that specific spot (medial and lateral malleolus areas) A nice medium/firm Swedish ain’t hurting anybody. They love it so much 🥰
Por favor. Subtítulos en español gracias Dios té bendiga. De Bogotá Colombia
Emilia Rodriguez muy pronto lo haré. Gracias por tu retroalimentación. Bienvenida 🇨🇴 Colombia
This video was very helpful for me! Thank you. Do you have a recommendation for a wedged bolster that you used for prenatal?
Yes I do! I got mine through massage warehouse. I’m pretty sure you can find it there.
Awesome teaching & techniques!
gloria gordon thank you very much. It makes me very happy to know they are helping therapists everywhere!
I’m in so much pain my pregnancy has been overwhelming and my baby is so heavy I’m almost 8 months. I need this 😢
You’re almost there!!! Just a few more weeks. If you’ve made it this far you will make it. Best of wishes for you & your baby!!!! 🙏🙏🤗🤗
Fantastic, informative, massage techniques and explanation is clearly precise; Love all of your videos.
Awaw you’re so sweet. I’m glad you’re liking & learning from the videos!
OMG- just watching this relaxed me...
I’m so happy to read that!
This Mama is just so sweet😘
She is! Baby is already a year old!
Thanks for the wonderful class🙏.
My question is, as I do swedish/hotstone and deep tissue I do start my massages at the lower foot, and for prenatal you hv started at the head it this the procedure for this massage only?
2ndly she has turned one side only I hope she has to turn on the other side🙄
Every therapist may learn a different routine and way to start. I like to start at the head because most people have a lot of tension on the neck and shoulders. It helps to start relaxing them from the beginning. Another reason I start at the head is because I don’t like to touch the face after working on the feet!!! And I do turn the client on both sides if they are able to. It’s just a matter of what your preference is. Thanks for the comment
Question 🙋🏻♀️: When you do side lying position. Do you have client turn sides? I saw you only worked one side .
Thanks!
Yes I do! It’s best to do both sides. I think we ran out of time here & only showed one side which wasn’t very good coz you couldn’t see it 😳
Amazing job! Just out of curiosity, what kind of bolster are you using for the client to lay on? Is it a regular wedge bolster or a triangle bolster? I'd love to find one just like that!
It is a triangular wedge. I think you can buy one at Massage Warehouse. 🤗🤗
I looove her coquí tattoo🐸💓! Preparing for a maternity massage on my coworker today :)
Good luck!!! Hope it goes smoothly!!!
Since I dont have the money for a prenatal massage.. I’ll just enjoy watching this and fall asleep...
I’m sorry to hear that you can’t book a massage. Where do you live? Maybe you can get your partner to give you a light massage just to release some tension & get your blood flowing! Stay healthy and strong 🤗
We are grateful to you for these useful posts 👍
I appreciate you for watching and leaving a positive message. Create a great day 🤗
Just watching this relaxes me
I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! 🤗
I really love your teaching ❤
I'm so glad! I really appreciate your feedback & support ❤️
Had my first prenatal massage today and honestly it hurt more than I could enjoy.. I'm so tense in my shoulders and neck and she just kept digging her thumbs. Even when she could feel me tensing up more. I just didn't enjoy it 😞 but this video gave me hope that I can have a massage where I feel relaxed. ❤️
abercrombiezombiee it really upsets me when therapist are not sensitive to the clients needs! You have every right to let the therapist know if she needs to back off! It’s your time & sometimes you just need to relax. Please don’t give up on finding a good therapist that can listen to what you would like that day! Best of luck to you & baby 👶
@Roseanne Schmidt This is the reason that therapists need to have a thorough intake where they make sure to emphasize to the client that they not only WELCOME but WANT feedback from the client. Also what the pain scale is and to speak up if it is over the level they wish (or under). So many clients will not take it upon themselves to just speak out, we have to really encourage communication. Also watching facial expressions will give a sensitive therapist a clue as to the comfort of the client...
Do you do side lying both sides? Or just one because of the vena cava?
Timothy Simmons this is a very good question. It is recommended that your client lay on her left side. However she can lay on her right side for a short period of time. I usually start with them on the left side & do as much work as possible then turn them on the right side to work their hip & low back for 10-15 min max. Glad you know your stuff!
@@MassageTherapeutics915 Buenas noches Maria este video lo estoy viendo en mayo del 2022 y tengo una pregunta los 15 min aproximados que trabajas en espalda es por cada lado? O es el tiempo total en espalda? Ojala puedas leer mi pregunta....;)
@@chuja34 normalmente son 15 minutos en cada lado. Desgraciadamente en este vídeo no pudimos grabar bien.
Wow! So the training I got had me avoid glutes and hips because of possible accupressure points causing contractions and possible labor. Are the QLs okay to work? Other than the hands and feet, what else should I avoid? Would love to see a back view to see the techniques you're using. Thank you for this!!!
After the first trimester it’s ok to work it as long as the client is comfortable. If they are high risk I would definitely follow doctors orders. I’ve never had a problem working the QL on my pregnant ladies. Best of wishes for you.
Great instructions. I do have one question, why is she still elevated in sidelying?
Because she had some issues with laying down flat. She would feel dizzy
Thank you 😍
@@lynnettemartos6290 you’re welcome
Your video is so relaxing. 😌I love it.
Thank you!! 😊

The model or myself lol. Thank you for the lovely comment. I hope you’re healthy & safe ❤️🤗
24 weeks and definitely need a massage. i’ve always had back problems but now it’s worse 😩 i would look forward to the back massage, leg and feet massage.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Yes I know how difficult it is to have back problems and then add carrying a growing baby inside! Maybe you can get a relative just to rub your feet & a little on your back for now. Best thing is to get off your feet a couple of times a day and raise them. Best of wishes for you and the baby!
@@MassageTherapeutics915 thank you so much! pregnancy is no joke haha, but it’s amazing we are able to create life. i’ll definitely ask my husband to watch your video so he can help with that and will do what you recommended! your massages look like they’re the best. if only you were located in NC!
@@annngggx I’m sure you’re husband will be able to help relieve some of that tightness. His intent will help you feel better! 🤗 good luck with your babies birth 🙏
Thank you very much for your useful videos>
Is it completely prohibited to massage before 12th month or there is only some limitition of some parts of the body.
fazel ahmad it is recommended not to massage in the 1st trimester however with doctors permission you can. It depends on whether the client is high risk or first pregnancy however make sure they have a doctor release to receive a massage. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing and mommies may be more sensitive so make sure you take clues from the client as to what feels good to them. They know where they feel the pressure. Just stay away from the ankles and wrists.
Que rico masaje, se ve que la futura mamá lo disfrutó y también el bebé, felicidades y muchas gracias maestra, saludos desde Guadalajara Jalisco México .
Muchas gracias Claudia. Si ya el bebé tiene 2 años! Todo salió bien 😀
I want to get a massage by u! Thank u for posting this, I'm to make my bf watch this so he can do this for me lol til I can go to a massage therapist!
Lol 😆 that’s what friends are for!!! He might do a really good job. The most important rule he needs to be aware of is to Not put heavy pressure on the arms or legs going down towards the feet or hands. Massage pressure is always towards the heart ♥️ (reason being that the veins in the limbs have little valves that can be damaged) other then that he can do whatever works for you. Enjoy 😊 and congratulations on your pregnancy! Creating life is the biggest miracle!!
Hi, I am just wondering why you are applying pressure to the inner part of her legs? This is the area that I was taught not to massage because of possible blood clots.
Sabrina Wong because she doesn’t have blood clots. You always do a medical history prior to the massage. You check for pain, redness, heat and swelling which are the symptoms of blood clots. Great care must be taken every time however not everyone has blood clots. I hope this answers your question 🙏
Nice tutorial pregnant massage!
Yes prenatal massage is great for the mom to be and baby ❤️🤗
Twas a good training ma'am... From your best online student...🥰🥰🥰 Thanks ma'am
