This is one of our 'Guest' courses, written and presented by Tracy Pearson.
Based in Germany, Tracy is a qualified Tutor and practising multi-modal therapist who also manages an award-nominated Complementary Health and Healing forum. With a passion for teaching, she is completely committed to improving the standards and 'raising the bar' in the Complementary Therapy world.
Within her own clinic, Tracy specialises in remedial work and has many rehabilitation clients as well as International Sportsmen and Women, from several different fields. On a personal note, Tracy believes that on any course we can all still learn from each other and encourages interaction and open questions and thoughts.
Both giving Baby Massage and teaching Baby Massage is a rewarding experience. When teaching others you will witness the bond between the child and carer develop as the moves become more fluid. This course will impart the knowledge and confidence to enable participants to massage babies themselves and run baby massage courses with those parents or carers who want to learn how to massage their own babies.
Students must be practising Bodywork Therapists and have an Anatomy & Physiology Certificate.
