The course comprises three stages as follows –

Part One (Theory).

This is designed for you to study independently in your own time and at your own pace before attending Part Two (Practical).

• It consists of 18 topics sent out in four sections.
• Each section ends with several short multiple choice questions or requires short answers in your own words.
• It is currently offered as a series of written worksheets with online tutor support.
• Being familiar with the theory is the ideal preparation for the practical learning days.
• It contains written exercises to check your knowledge at the end of each section.
• Each section to be completed and returned before continuing with the next.
• Please read through the cancellations and refunds policies.

Part Two (Practical).

A two-day course offered face-to-face or online. You will need your baby doll model for these days. We will –

• Go through the theory contained in the manual.
• Learn how to structure lessons for your own classes.
• Learn about attachment theory and its implications for new parents.
• Learn about baby reflexes.
• Find out what behavioural states are.
• Discuss why babies cry.
• Find out how to be the best therapist we can be.
• Devise a marketing strategy suitable for your own business.
• Learn a unique massage routine for young babies.
• Learn a short routine to address colic in babies.

There will be time for each participant to run part of a session demonstrating the massage and leading activities so you can feel confident to run your own classes for your case study.

You will need your own doll baby to demonstrate and practice with. Once you have enrolled I will send out the theory resources and I will advise on the type of doll that is recommended.

Once the practical days have been completed, there is a written part which you can complete over the following six months and then pending satisfactory completion of this part, you will be fully qualified to work as a baby massage instructor.

Part Three (Written Submission and case study).

Once the practical days have been taken there is a portfolio of written work to be submitted which includes –

• One case study of five one-hour classes delivered to the same parent/carer/s and baby or babies.
• A set of lesson plans.
• Five paragraphs.
• A reflective journal extract.

This section should be completed within six months of the end of the practical days.

This course is currently accredited by the FHT.

Most of the training this year (2021) will take place online in the form of home study (theory) and live Zoom webinars which will closely recreate the flexibility and community of in-person classes.

Why choose Baby Massage?

• Baby massage is the ideal first activity for new parents. It is the perfect easy, low-stress class, perfect for when parents just want to sit, chat with other new parents and learn an easy massage routine.
• Baby massage is a great way for parents to strengthen the parent/baby bond at a time when they are exhausted, and may feel isolated or lacking in confidence.
• It’s a great class to offer your pregnancy massage clients when their baby arrives.
• Offering baby massage as a qualified massage therapist will set you apart from many others offering classes in your area.
• It gives you a way of connecting with your community and bringing joy!

Why choose this course?

How do I pay?

The first payment of £100 is a deposit which is refundable in limited circumstances (please see TCs below).
This payment secures your place on the in-person practical days providing the balance is paid as follows. The balance is to be paid no later than two weeks from the start of the practical days. A split payment can be arranged for your convenience if wished, in agreement with the tutor. Please contact me at the time of booking if this applies.

Do I need any equipment?

You will need to purchase a baby model doll for practise and demonstration purposes, and to run your own classes after qualifying. I can supply this if necessary for any face-to-face classes, or let you know where you can purchase your own directly from the supplier.
In your practice you will need simple floor mats and bottles of oil, but these will be provided in any face-to-face classes for your use.

To enrol or ask anything else, please email ingrid@roseonthegreen.co.uk or use the contact form.
