Become Certified as an SFH Pre & Postnatal Massage Therapist


In Canada, there are approximately 380,000 births per year and the highest fertility age rate is between the age of 30 and 34. Women are entering pregnancy later in life, leading to the need for increased help during the pre & postnatal time. Become proficient in providing confident and superior care to women throughout their pregnancy, labour, and postpartum with this comprehensive SFH Certification program.

Become a Certified Pre and Postnatal Massage Therapist by passing both levels of this highly skilled course.


This certification is made up of two comprehensive courses.

Prenatal Massage: This 2-day comprehensive Prenatal Massage course addresses a wide range of physical and emotional health concerns.  Massage Therapists will learn how to execute proper and effective treatment, by covering in detail, the client’s health history information and specific massage techniques. This course will also include intensive hands-on Prenatal Massage techniques, isolated stretching techniques, proper positioning, and draping specific to this clientele. Furthermore, you can assure that your client will be safe by learning all about contraindications, complications, postural changes, and the basic anatomy of the pelvis.  You can trust that this Prenatal Massage course is excellent for training competent massage therapists in dealing with care and compassion to make the journey of pregnancy that much more special.

Postnatal Massage: This one-day course will cover physical and mental health postpartum rehabilitation. Pelvic health issues and techniques (external) will be addressed to support and promote the healing and strengthening of this region. Specific care to the shoulder, neck, and back will be covered through a demo and practice of postpartum massage techniques. Contraindications will also be discussed looking more in-depth at the effects that medical interventions have on a woman’s body and how massage therapists can assist with comprehensive postnatal massage care and rehabilitation. Become certified and proficient in providing new mothers with highly specific and individual postnatal massage care.

Treat with confidence and care. Become Certified in Prenatal and Postnatal Massage with this three-day, two-course Certification Program.

The Decompression Release course was great, I especially appreciated Bob Cross and his down to earth, informative approach to teaching. He shared so many valuable techniques with us. I felt so fortunate to be on the receiving end of his years of experience, and he was so non judgmental and supportive.
Wow. I don’t recall any more how I first heard of your Seminars for Health courses, but am sure glad you came into my world.
