Acquiesce offers an opportunity for birthing practitioners to learn the basics of Pregnancy and Labour Massage. These workshops can be done individually as a one hour course, or combined as a two hour workshop. In most cases you may be required to bring your own model client, though it is not necessary for them to be pregnant.
Many Mums and their families need a helping hand when it comes to enjoying their pregnancy and birthing. Along with using other pre-labour initiatives, Mums can expect massage to help release areas essential for good passage and dilation, whilst keeping blood pressure in balance throughout their term.
Massage may also ease any mental tensions surrounding the lead up to birth and the birth itself; knowing that healthy decision making takes place in a relaxed and confident frame of mind. So let’s help Mums maintain their clarity and power so that they can give this opportunity their best shot!
