I am not a nurse, massage therapist or clinician of any kind. Do I qualify to take the training? |

Yes, absolutely. We are not massaging babies. We are guiding families in the techniques of infant massage and compassionate touch. Since we are not massaging babies, no "license to touch" is required. The Infant Massage Class one holds for families is an opportunity for families to share with eachother, learn from their babies and build positive experience to draw fron to further the joy they experience with their child; hence, continuing to build strong and healthy bonds. the actual techniques of Baby massage is easy. The human race and animals of all kinds have been massaging their young from birth. It's a primary reason why we exist today. Without touch, we would surely die. The real skill is in guiding families, empowering parents in their roles as nurturers and caregivers and faciliting a positive experience for all draw from. This is a key component of joy, and one of the greatest compliments is finding out that families who took your class still meet one, tow even three years later for play groups. Without your class, they may have never met - even though these families live within a walking distance from eachother. Do you qualify? Do you have joy to share, to give, to receive? Yes :)
