I went to a midwife class, support for my friend, and there were a bunch over OLDER people in the class. The oldest person in the class was actually 68, she wanted to help deliever her grandson.. If you want it go for it, don't have any regrets! It’s never too late to train as a Midwife. I went to a midwife class, support for my friend, and there were a bunch over OLDER people in the class.

Once a week would be sufficient unless you feel the need for more. You find you cope better with situations and calmer sleep better. No side effects, maybe slight under par the next day but great the next. Cost on average a dollar a minute.

You are basically clothed and the person stretches your body and puts you in various positions to release tight muscles. Shiatsu is more like triggerpoint therapy and is done applying light touch/pressure to various acupuncture points and along meridians. Thai massage is sort of like Yoga.
