Customer Review: Great Resource
I have a friend who is pregnant and needs massage therapy. I’m still in school for my licence but am practicing at home as I go through school. I bought this video tape to learn how to massage while keeping her comfortable and not hitting those pressure points I’ve heard about that can cause contractions. I learned a lot of really good techniques and there is a lot of good streching involved in this tape. I didn’t use everything I learned in the video, but the table set up, posturing and foot and leg massages were what really did the trick. I’ll warn you – the tape is DRY! Nothing exciting about the way these two people present. That is why it doesn’t get 5 stars.

Overall – my friend/client was comfortable the entire time, felt fully relaxed and stretched when the massage was complete. I would reccommend this video. The proof is in the work and a happy client and I had a great expereince with that! Click here for more info on this massage product

Liquid Mind III: Balance

Liquid Mind III: Balance, the third in Liquid Mind’s elegant series of slow stress-relief music albums, transports the listener to a place of inner peace and deep calm. Like the prior albums (Slow World and Ambience Minimus), Liquid Mind III: Balance is serene and lush, electronic and elegant, and floats the listener along in a gentle healing stream of sound.
Customer Review: A superb work
In my opinion, this is Liquid Mind’s best work. If you haven’t listened to this type of music before it is quite different. There is no beat, no melody, but drifting synthesizers that rise and dance on a theme of inspiration and grace. If you’re looking for Yanni type New Age music you won’t like this. If you’re looking for something that plays well in the background as you do your work or meditate, this just might be the cd for you. One of my favorites.

I gave it to my father who leads a meditation healing group at his church. They play this cd during their session and people really find it promotes an atmosphere of quiet positivity.
Customer Review: Liqiuid Mind

Customer Review: A great machine
Wow, did I hit the jackpot when my husband got this as a gift! Although it doesn’t do a great job with shoulder massages, it is fantastic for those with lower-back pain! My husband no longer needs me to work my fingers to the bone trying to get those painful knots out of his lower back! Now he can do it while sitting at his computer or watching TV! We BOTH love this thing. ^_^
Customer Review: I love this little guy..:-)
This little messager is absolutely wonderful. Maybe not like a professional “real” person rubbing your back…but for a machine it is wonderful. I was totally surprised when I sat down at the store and tried it for a lark. I thought that it would be like the buzzing , vibrating kinds…not a kneeding moving one that moved up and down my back. What a pleasant surprise. I really like this thing a lot……Tamara Click here for more info on this massage product

Living Arts Massage Practice for Pregnancy

An obliging father-to-be performs head-to-toe (actually, toe-to-head) massage on his appreciative partner in this too-good-to-be-true instructional video. Still, it’s worth a shot at guilting your partner into one of the three massages described in detail by massage therapist Michelle Kluck as the couple demonstrates each stroke. Much of the 25-minute video is dedicated to the feet and legs, as Kluck emphasizes the therapeutic benefit on the onslaught of symptoms a pregnant woman deals with in these body parts–leg cramps, edema, varicose veins, stretch marks, and such. Time is also spent on a back and shoulder massage and one for the head and neck. Kluck outlines the special conditions of a prenatal rubdown (no lying on the back or stomach, etc.) and on- screen graphics pop up to show reflexology points and a cutaway view of the pregnant body. Kluck asserts that massage can prevent many prenatal ailments without backing up her claim, but you don’t have to tell your partner that part. –Kimberly Heinrichs
Customer Review: Fabulous Pregnancy Massage!
I loved this video. My husband found it very easy to follow and he gave me a wonderful massage on my legs & feet, back & shoulders and my head & neck. The music was very relaxing and the techniques were clear and easy to understand. I felt great and he was so happy to bring me some relief during my last few months of pregnancy. I highly recommend this video to all pregnant couples! Click here for more info on this massage product
