First of all congratulations! You can attend some courses such as waxing, facials, manicure, pedicure, eyelash extensions, threading etc., which are not intensively based on massage. For other courses which are more for full body or are heavily massage based, we would request you to either get permission from your midwife / GP or bring a model to work on. This is because in the UK the legislation is very clear only qualified medical professionals can work on a pregnant client. For another learner to work on you during the course, they need permission from your qualified medical professional e.g. midwife or GP. Also, we will need to assign a qualified pregnancy massage specialist tutor to the course that you will be joining so let us know at the time of enrolment. We recommend that you wait for the first trimester to be over before deciding to do any training course

Yes. Upon successful completion of any of our accreditation courses, you can obtain public liability insurance and offer your services to the public for a fee.
