Course Description
Baby Massage is a art which
encourages loving communication between a parent and their child.
Baby massage has grown
in popularity in recent years with a greater emphasis being placed on
the importance of physical bonding between parents and their baby. It
is, therefore, not surprising that baby massage instruction classes are
becoming a regular feature in GP surgeries and health clinics, as well
as in the community.
Learning to instruct
parents how to massage their babies is a special skill and can be a very
fulfilling and rewarding experience. |
