Online - Teaching Certificate in Baby Massage

This course is open to anyone over the age of 18. It is ideal for beginners who have no previous experience or for experienced therapists to add this training to extend their career.

The first year of life forms the foundation of trust and security for a child’s future. Being held, caressed, and cuddled are part of providing a loving environment during this initial and critical period of bonding.

Massaging a baby is likely to promote a loving and positive experience, but not only for the baby it is mutually rewarding as it not only encourages the babies development, but also helps to create a bond between parent/guardian and baby, as well as aiding with minor ailments.

Touch stimulates new-borns physical, as well as emotional, health and may indeed be necessary to stimulate the release of certain neurohormones and chemicals that promote a healthier immune system.
