    Review: “I feel like I learned a lot and will definitely watch the videos on Moodle. I thought pregnancy massage would be much more complex and difficult but the tutor explained everything very well and made sure everything was understood.  She was also patient with us and repeated some things which may not have been understood.  I enjoyed my time here and would recommend this course.
