4.0 out of 5 stars excellent guidance, September 25, 2000

By	kurtis stubblefield (Dallas, Texas USA) - See all my reviews

this book was an excellent source of information. i'm relatively new to the massage business and have several pregnant clients. the author explained the do's and don'ts clearly and, believe it or not, in an interesting format!

i liked it so much that i've purchased it for a pregnant friend, just so she'll be armed with appropriate information when looking for a massage therapist (she lives in another state from me :-))

2.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Medical Terminology, May 26, 2003

By	Massage Therapist (Boone, NC United States) - See all my reviews

This book was designed as a textbook companion to a continuing education class for massage therapists. Without attending the class, it's not an interesting read. It is written with an unnecessary level of medical terminology, when layman's terms would suffice. I am a massage therapist, and didn't find this book to be very helpful at all. I found a few tips, but in general, bodywork techniques are labeled & then glossed over. "Massage During Pregnancy" by Bette Waters is a better educational resource on pregnancy & comfort tips for the pregnant woman. However, I'm still looking for an effective resource manual of massage therapy techniques for the pregnant client.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Addition to any Therapists Library, August 21, 2001

By	Connie Holbrook "alandconnie" (Kettering, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews

All I can say is this is a WONDERFUL book of information for any Mother-to-be and especially for Massage Therapists/Bodyworkers. It takes you from conception to infant massage. I am glad it is now a part of my Library.
