Course Overview
This practical hands-on course will teach you how to safely perform the womb, digestive & sacral massage on yourself and your clients. It is important that practitioners choosing to offer Fertility Massage gain a good understanding of the fertility process, common conditions presented by clients and knowledge to help clients whilst remaining within the scope of their professional training.

If you have an interest in Women’s Health, then this course is for you. With a strong focus on the physical and energetic approach to the womb, this therapy is suitable for women of all reproductive stages, regardless of whether they are trying to conceive.
