PCM: Pregnancy, Babies & Children Aromatherapeutic Massage

PCM: 'Pregnancy, Babies & Children - Aromatherapeutic Massage'

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS COURSE IS ALSO AVAILABLE AS DISTANCE-LEARNING

This 2-day course is designed for Aromatherapists and Massage Therapists who need to be able to massage pregnant women, babies and children with confidence. Please note that non-Aromatherapists may not use essential oils unless under the supervision of a qualified Aromatherapist.

Non-Aromatherapists are welcome on the course as they will get all the information required to massage these Client-groups as well as the additonal information on essential oils for interest and for their own use.

Aromatherapists will be issued with a Certificate of Qualification in 'Pregnancy, Babies & Children Aromatherapeutic Massage' and Massage Therapists will be issued a Certificate of Qualification in 'Pregnancy, Babies & Children Massage'.

The course was formulated at the request of our ex-students who wished to support their clients throughout pregnancy and motherhood, which they did not previously feel confident enough to tackle. As such, it has arisen from authentic 'field-conditions' and has proved extremely beneficial to those who have since used the techniques taught.

This course can be taken as 2 individual days. Day 1 deals with Pregnancy and day 2 with Babies & Children.

For qualified Aromatherapists or Massage Therapists.
