Advanced Infant Massage Course Details

This course is designed to run for up to 60 mins per session, depending on the age and attention span of infants, and will allow you time to practice and consolidate your techniques between sessions. The class follows on from the Beginner's Infant Massage course and builds on the techniques already learned.

Session 1: Arms and Hands, Legs and Feet – Recap of what we know and adding the new techniques into the arms and legs routine.

Session 2: Chest and Abdomen, Back – Recap the new arms and hands, legs and feet routine, continuing with chest and abdomen, and back routines.

Session 3: Face – Starting with face routine. Putting the whole treatment together! Recap new arms and hands, legs and feet, chest and abdomen, and back routine with a verbal recap of the moves with the group. The course completes with a nice bedtime routine ideal for all children who find it difficult to settle at night-time. Open Q&A discussion to complete the course.

The course is designed for all parents, soon-to-be parents, primary carers, or other important people in the infant’s life such as grandparents. The course can be run for the following groups (or combination of):

• Expectant mothers (with baby-sized dolls)
• 6 weeks ~ 18 month olds
• 18 months ~ preschool age
• primary school children
• secondary school children - one to one sessions only

Group classes are available subject to advance deposit and finding a suitable venue for up to 8 parents with infants up to primary school age, OR one to one sessions can be arranged privately.

On the course you need to bring:

• Your infant
• Your folder, to add to the notes from the previous course
• A pen to make notes on the handouts provided
• Appropriate oil or cream for the infant massage
• A cushion for yourself to sit on, (if required)
• 1 soft towel for your infant to lie on for the treatment, (which will take place on the floor)
• A spare nappy (if removing the existing one for the treatment)

“A wonderful way for primary carers to increase the bond with their infants.”

The Advanced Infant Massage training builds on the Beginners routine to form a more Advanced routine, but can be attended by mums who have already completed any Beginner's Infant Massage course. The course also includes a bedtime routine for infants who cannot settle to sleep. A certificate of attendance will be issued, allowing the parent to massage their infant using the techniques they have learned until the child turns 16!

On the course you will receive:

• 3 sessions of intensive practical training, building on the routine learned in the infant massage course
• Consolidation of the new routine learned from previous sessions
• My contact details for any queries during the duration of the course
• Q&A session to complete the course
• Certificate of attendance
