Infant Massage for Doulas
Self-Directed Online Learning
This course is a self-directed course that you will follow along at your own pace. In total, there are six modules that cover various aspects of infant massage for each part of the body. The course will cover both the theory of “why” and “how” to massage each body part, but also show you how to do it.
This course is designed for you as a doula to show you how to do infant massage yourself. While it doesn’t qualify you to teach it to others, you are absolutely welcome to show your valuable skills to parents as they watch you perform it for their baby’s benefit. Of course, they will learn alongside your demonstration.
This course qualifies for 2 CEUs (continuing education units) with Doula School.
