| The baby massage training course for idividuals is for small groups of students, six at most, who already have professional qualifications that include anatomy and physiology. If you do not have an anatomy and physiology qualification we can advise on where to complete appropriate correspondence courses.
The course includes group work, individual tuition, visiting lecturers and supervised massage tuition by students with parents and babies to gain practical experience.
