Massage category SPA&wellness 1.
In working with a pregnant woman, I rely on my education, accompanied by pregnancy, an instructor in childbirth and a holistic approach at the stage of postpartum recovery. Along with my studies, I worked in the maternity ward of the Laniado hospital, the city of Netanya Israel, where my responsibilities also included helping the woman during exertions. And I could immediately put the whole theory of the course into practice. This suggests that I own techniques for stimulating labor. My practical experience since 2016, the education of an instructor in childbirth, internal intuition, the ability to listen to the body with my hands (hear biorhythm and breathing of the body) and knowledge of anatomy, physiology and orthopedics have never let me down in my work with a pregnant woman. I have always been able to see and understand the root of the problem that the woman turned to and find the right technique to hel
Many massage therapists today are afraid to start working with pregnant women, which is associated with the risk of harm to the mother and child.
And in turn, the fear is justified since I do not know schools / courses for massage therapists that would teach this delicate work in full.
The main fear is the risk of causing labor. To which I always answer
"In order not to cause childbirth, you need to know how to call them."And yet there are masters in the world who work in this direction and who are ready to transfer this knowledge to people who are faithful to the profession, to help the expectant mother during pregnancy and to prepare her for childbirth fully.
In working with classic types of SPA massages, I use soft and at the same time tangible massage client techniques.
In my practice, aggressive / violent work with the client’s body is not applicable.
At the world championship 2020 I will present 2 types of massage In order to demonstrate my practical skills in massage techniques
