BABY MASSAGE INSTRUCTOR
This workshop aims to give therapists the skills, knowledge and proficiency to teach baby and infant massage to other therapists, parents and carers and add them to their complementary therapy treatment menu.
This one day course is suitable for Massage Therapists who have already achieved a recognised certificate in Full Body Massage and Anatomy and Physiology. They will receive comprehensive guidance notes and information to take home so they may continue to study, as well as continued support from our tutors at Body & Soul following their successfully passing their practical assessment at the end of the workshop.
This workshop will be divided between theoretical learning and practical application. However, as the students will already have completed a Massage and Anatomy and Physiology course, by the end of the day, the student will have a firm understanding of Baby Massage and be able to apply the techniques within a practical session, safely and effectively.
All items required for the course will be provided by Body & Soul School of Complementary Therapy.
