Infant Massage (6 hours) Do you want to learn about infant massage benefits and techniques? This class is a beginner-level class which will enable massage therapists to offer infant massage training to new parents who want to bond with their infants. The goal is to encourage parents to develop confident touch for bonding with and benefitting their infants. Therapists will be able to run a profitable infant massage class for parents.
*Please note: training will be done on dolls - Please bring a doll with movable arms and legs. We will be sitting on the floor some of the time, this is unavoidable due to the format of the class. You may bring a cushion or yoga mat to sit on, but a camping chair or folding chair will not work.
Babies up to 6 months old welcome! If you have an infant not yet crawling, please let me know. If you know someone with an infant who would like to benefit from infant massage training, please let me know as we can arrange the appropriate time for the parent(s) and baby to join the class.
