Michele Kolakowski & Penny Bussell Stansfield, US maternity massage
therapists
Background
Massage could be considered in some ways the first form of antenatal care.
Traditional midwives would massage women during their pregnancies, births
and in the postnatal period. Now, modern care has become very technological,
bringing some benefits and adaptations to the modern world, but midwives
often lack time for the touch based, one to one time which is extremely
valuable for pregnant women and their families. Massage and bodywork can
help fill in this gap: but it is vital that bodyworkers have adequate
training and are competent to work alongside the women’s primary caregiver
(midwife, obstetrician). The book and the seminar aim to address some of
these issues.
The Author
Suzanne Yates is a respected maternity bodywork specialist and is highly
regarded amongst both orthodox and complementary practitioners. She is
trained in antenatal and postpartum exercise, shiatsu and therapeutic
massage, and works with private clients and health professionals, teaching
in the UK and internationally. She has written extensively on massage
techniques for birth.
