Prenatal Massage

The goal in prenatal massage is to help the woman find balance within her ever changing body. This can facilitate a healthy and happy pregnancy which can lead towards a healthy and happy birth.

At NHI we focus on several aspects of pre-natal massage.

We discuss:

The physiological changes that can occur for the mother during the different trimesters
The Benefits and Cautions of prenatal massage: We keep clients safe!
The proper positioning of a pregnant client on the massage (usually lying on her side)
You will practice on your classmates to integrate various new techniques you learn from the instructors demonstration.
Our goal is for you to feel confident in your bodywork when working with anyone, including a pregnant woman.

Students & Employers Love Us!

NHI made a huge impression on me while attending an open house event where I experienced such a peaceful, non-judgmental space with kind and patient teachers who strived to pass down their experience to make their students successful on their massage therapy journey. NHI opened doors for me to some exceptional clinics right after finishing the ANMT program.

Eva Chalupova | San Jose Campus

National Holistic Institute truly is a great school. The instructors are passionate about their craft and really want their students to succeed. At NHI I learned so much about massage, energy transfer, trigger point theory but most importantly, I learned about myself. NHI literally changed my life and possibly saved it, I will forever be grateful to this institution.

Emilio Rivera | Ontario Campus

NHI changed the way I viewed massage therapy. I went from seeing it as a luxury to a valuable part of recovery and overall health. They helped me see how much a difference I could make in being a well educated/trained massage therapist. The ANMT Program has definitely made my resume stand out to various employers which has given me multiple options for employment. It prepared me to work in any setting.

Jessica Gomez | Santa Ana Campus

I love working with people and bringing them relief. I moved out of state and quickly found employment. Once the hiring manager found out I was an NHI graduate, not only were they interested in hiring me but they also offered me a higher rate of pay because of the quality of my education. I could not believe they knew about NHI across the country. I am so happy in my new career and I know that it is based on the foundational learning that I received at NHI.
