Book Reviews of Prenatal Massage: A Textbook of Pregnancy, Labor, and Postpartum Bodywork, 1e (Mosby's Massage Career Development)
Book Review: awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
I took Elaine's prenatal class years ago while working at Canyon Ranch Spa at the Venetian and throughly enjoyed it!So, when I saw this book, I knew it'd be good.I needed a refresher but didn't need to take the course over again. She is very knowledgable when it comes to prenatal massage. The book is full of information and the DVD/CD really helps you to understand the techiniques. I highly recommend this if you are pregnant or a massage therapist that is interested in being trained for prenatal.
