Research is now showing that baby massage can be extremely beneficial for both mother and baby and is becoming increasingly popular.
This 2 day course will teach you to become an Infant Massage Instructor so that you can then hold classes for parents who would like to learn this wonderful skill.
Julie Duffy, our Infant Massage tutor has been teaching this very popular and rewarding therapy to therapists, midwives and Health visitors for over 15 years, she is also the lead tutor for the Aromatherapy module of the B.Sc(Hons) Complementary Therapies at UWIC Cardiff
This course is open to qualified massage therapists, midwives, health visitors & qualified nursery nurses.
The aim of this course is to enable therapists to instruct their clients in infant massage techniques - also known as baby massage. Successful completion will allow you to teach mums, dads or carers how to safely massage their babies on a one to one or to run small groups by demonstrating the techniques on an Infant Massage doll. This is a great addition to your therapy repertoire as it is both deeply rewarding and far less strain on your body.
We will cover:
- contraindications
- Benefits of Infant Massage/baby massage
- Massage techniques both basic and advanced
- Specific techniques to aid ailments such as colic
- We will discuss massage and children with disabilities
Students will be required to complete two case studies between day 1 and day 2 - so you will need a couple of willing volunteers! it is anticipated that this will take between 5-6 hours of your time. In addition to therapists, this course has been much sought after by midwives and health visitors. You will need a baby-size doll or The Infant Massage doll to attend - please contact us for massage doll suppliers details.
