Baby Massage Instructors Certificate

Baby massage is a loving, nurturing touch. Some of the most intimate and deeply communicative moments between a parent and their baby are often spent in utter silence as they stroke a back, smooth a belly or run a finger under the arch of a tender baby foot. There is no substitute for a parent’s loving touch. Through touch, babies first learn the comfort and security of loving and of being loved.

Baby massage has a wide range of both psychological and physiological benefits. Numerous studies have found that baby massage not only helps develop the natural parent-child bond but it also plays a significant role in promoting the healthy growth and development of infants. It is also a useful tool for everyday situations - it can relieve a host of childhood complaints from colic to constipation – and essential for enhancement of the infant’s wellbeing.
