3 day Womb Massage Practitioner Training
CPD-Accredited Course for Therapists
Our Shamanic Womb Massage Training in the UK is a trauma-informed, accredited CPD course for qualified massage practitioners who want to specialise in womb-centred bodywork. Rooted in The Shamanic Way of the Womb®, this training weaves practical technique, somatic awareness and sacred healing into a grounded professional pathway.
A trauma-informed, CPD-accredited bodywork course rooted in womb wisdom and sacred healing.
This immersive Shamanic Womb Massage Training is designed for qualified massage therapists who feel called to support women through deeper layers of healing and reconnection. Blending professional bodywork skills with womb-centred awareness, the course offers a grounded and sacred approach to working with emotional holding, ancestral imprinting, and physical tension within the womb space.
Rooted in The Shamanic Way of the Womb® Medicine Wheel, this training weaves together traditional womb massage techniques, somatic awareness, and shamanic wisdom. It supports balance across the physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual body, working with the womb as a centre of creation, intuition, remembrance, and transformation.
You will learn how to hold a safe, trauma-informed space in which clients can gently reconnect with the intelligence of their bodies. The training is held with warmth, integrity, and care, supporting both personal growth and professional development.
More than a practical technique, this course offers a deeper pathway into sacred healing work. It honours the spiritual dimensions of the womb while respecting the uniqueness of every woman’s story, body, and healing journey.
Alongside practical bodywork skills, this training also opens deeper layers of sacred practice through breathwork, guided visualisations, toning, lineage teachings and ceremonial attunements. These elements support practitioners to work with greater sensitivity, presence, and reverence in the holding of women in womb healing sessions.
Through years of working with women in Shamanic Womb Healing and womb massage sessions, Angie Twydall, founder of this training pathway in the UK, began to witness how deeply the body responds when therapeutic touch, sound, presence, and intention come together in the womb space.
Shamanic Womb Massage sessions offer a holistic and therapeutic approach to womb healing, using womb massage techniques that may support women in reconnecting with their bodies, softening held tension, and bringing awareness to the emotional, energetic, and physical layers of the pelvic and reproductive space.
This work can support greater connection with the womb, menstrual cycle awareness, and a deeper relationship with the body’s natural rhythms. Self-care practices are also shared, so that the benefits of the session can continue to be integrated gently into daily life.
Many women experience Shamanic Womb Massage as transformative on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. As the body begins to soften, deeper layers of holding may come into awareness, including stored emotion, protective patterning, and unresolved experience held within the tissues.
This creates a deeply intuitive yet grounded way of working with clients. Rather than trying to force a result, the practitioner learns to listen to the body, follow what is arising, and create the conditions in which healing can unfold.
As a therapist and healer, your presence, intention, and skilled touch help open the gateways to deeper reconnection. This is one of the core qualities transmitted through the training.
This three-day Shamanic Womb Massage Training UK offers a grounded introduction to the core frameworks, techniques, and healing principles that shape this work.
Across the training, you will explore:
• The Shamanic Way of the Womb® Medicine Wheel, also known as the Womb Cross, and its relationship to the womb and yoni

Kiki teaches our 3 day CPD course in Shamanic Womb Massage.
She is a shamanic womb massage healer, womb priestess, intuitive empath and facilitator of the Way of the Womb.
Kiki has worked with women for the last 20 years, for the last 8 years specialising in birth and postpartum helping women transition pre and post birth, a sacred time from maiden to mother, connecting them to their wombs, and their wisdom that their bodies hold.
Kiki has a deep love of the earth and its cycles, and Goddess, and she has been instinctively guided by nature and listened to this all her life.
Her passion is for all women to hear the call of their womb, to discover their own gnosis, to dig deep and uncover the gold, to cultivate this connection, to heal our trauma, both our own, ancestral and collective.
The Shamanic Way of the Womb has brought her home to herself and this is her deepest wish for all women.

Hayley Nightingale is a womb practitioner and holistic massage therapist whose work centres on embodied healing, ceremony and the rekindling of womb wisdom. Her therapeutic foundation began with Level 4 massage training at the Sheffield Centre for Massage Training in 2020, and her path deepened as she journeyed with The Sanctuary of Sophia, studying womb massage, yoni steaming, womb wrapping and sacred anointing. These practices form the heart of her vocation and guide each session she offers.
Hayley is also a single mother and works closely with young people with special educational needs. This has strengthened her sensitivity to the mind–body connection and nurtured her commitment to offering safe, compassionate and holistic care. She now devotes two dedicated days each week to her massage and womb healing practice, walking beside women who seek grounding, healing and a deeper relationship with their own womb story.
She is a Priestess of the Sheffield Goddess Temple and continues her path through ongoing Priestess training. For the past four years she has served within the Priestess team at the Glastonbury Goddess Conference, supporting ceremony, devotion and community weaving. Hayley regularly holds women’s circles, bringing together embodiment, ritual and womb wisdom to create nourishing and transformative spaces.
Hayley now steps forward as a facilitator for The Sanctuary of Sophia, sharing these sacred teachings with her community and supporting their expansion into the north of England. Her work is rooted in gentle presence, lived experience and a deep devotion to women’s healing.
