Infant MassagePart of the 200 hour Massage Therapy CourseMost of us are born balanced. As we grow and age daily, we become unbalanced. Being touched properly is vital to babies for both physical & emotional well-being. Society has allowed western medicine to put fear into our mothers and fathers of today so that they no longer know how to care for their own children. Touch is just as vital to all of us. It is even more critical as we age because we tend to deprive ourselves of touch in our hurried and overworked lives - We ALL need to be touched. Therefore, you will always have work to do. In class we will learn the similarities between adult and infant massage, as well as the particular cautions and care necessary to do infant massage, and prenatal massage. Words alone cannot describe the overwhelming expression of happiness a child shows while being massaged in a proper way. The laughter, smiles, and radiant glow from the child, and to share this with their parents, is such a gift. |
