A Practical and Online Learning Experience
Prenatal & Maternity Massage Workshop
Our Continuing Education for Massage Therapists is "Blended" meaning it is online and hands-on. Our qualified and experienced teacher serves as facilitator of the learning process. Instead of simply lecturing, she guides students by helping make sense of course materials, encouraging them to ask questions and explore solutions, and promoting the use of resources outside of the classroom and in your practice. Start your online class at any time and have access until your practicum (online class must be completed prior to practicum). We have partnered with Body Support Systems and extend our educators discount to participants. To learn more about the program and practicum check out our FAQs below!

Active Learning
A High Academic Standard
Take your prenatal treatments beyond the basics taught in Rattray, with our extensive Prenatal & Maternity Massage Workshop. Have you ever been curious why we, as RMTs, are instructed not to treat specific areas on a pregnant woman's hands, ankles, and feet? Gain new knowledge about techniques, anatomy (of mother and baby), contraindications, specific acupressure points, equipment, proper positioning and the massive physiological change that pregnant women undergo. Massage is one of the SAFEST modalities for pregnant women – learn about the myths of massage and miscarriage along with other misleading information.
About Prenatal Massage
There is a growing demand for prenatal therapists. Pregnant women are limited on their options for pain management, mental and emotional health, and overall self-care. Furthermore, much of prenatal health care is void of personal touch making Prenatal Massage not only popular but also necessary for many women. You, as Certified Prenatal, RMT, can have profound influence on a woman's pregnancy, making her journey not only easier but much more enjoyable. Happy healthy mama's grow happy healthy babies! Many more prenatal professionals such as MDs, Midwives, and OBGYNs are referring women for Prenatal Massage.
Material covered includes conception, pregnancy, prelabour, labour, postpartum, and how massage and acupressure can influence and help each of these stages. Learn about different techniques, acupressure points, proper assessment, positioning (much more than sideline!), equipment, and essential oils that are recommended and contraindicated for prenatal massage. Learn how to teach soon-to-be mama's vital home care that will not only prepare them for labour but also help promote an easier labour. We will explore marketing opportunities and you will gain access to tools that can significantly help you grow your business!
Prenatal & Maternity Massage is an integrative, fun, exciting, and safe learning experience. We use a combination of Online (learn at your own pace), lectures, treatments, and hands-on learning with equipment for you to develop into a confident Prenatal RMT. An online assignment, which doubles as a take-home quick reference, helps you organize all the relevant material into one handy little package for future use. NO Exams for you!
This workshop is taught by an RMT for RMTs. Rebecca Bekolay, RMT, is an 10 year veteran that is passionate about her industry; she is also a mother! She has worked in conjunction with many other professionals such as Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Acupuncturists, Midwives, MDs, and OBGYNs to treat pregnant women. In her experience she has encountered high-risk pregnancies, multiples, textbook pregnancies, and cesarean sections to name a few. She adopts the idea that a person can always learn something new and she is very excited to share with you the joys of being a Certified Prenatal, Registered Massage Therapist.
