Så er en personlig hemmelighed (som faktisk ikke er så hemmelig til dem som står mig nær) lagt på bordet:
Jeg elsker alt som har med børn at gøre, fordi jeg elsker børn! Er der noget som kan bringe et smil til læben på en grå københavner hverdag, så er det at se et par små strålende øjne som kigger ud fra en barnevogn, og grinende viser sine bitte små tænder når blikket mødes med én af os ”gamle” som tager tid til at kigge hen mod vognen; er der noget som varmer hjertet mere end en vinterjakke, så er det at se en klynge af små mennesker som står og venter ivrig på bussen, mens børnehavepædagogen står og tæller nervøst om alle endnu er i klyngen. Derfor, da jeg så et opslag om kursus med hensyn til at lære hvordan man instruerer nye forældre i babymassage, så tænkte jeg ikke al for lang tid før jeg tilmeldte mig kurset, og bestilte billet til London, England.
For mig, anså jeg dette som den perfekte mulighed til at give forældre gaven at lære hvordan man tager tid til at skabe en solid tilknytning til sit barn, og skabe tiltro fra sit barn til sig selv, med håb at forældre modtager en anden form for gave som er at få den varme følelse i hjertet, når de giver deres barn roen gennem massage.
Babymassage har været noget som mange kulturer har implementeret i århundreder: I steder som India, nogle dele af det afrikanske kontinent, Malaysia og Sri Lanka har det i lang tid været tradition at give en nyfødt massage lige efter fødsel, i modsætning til de vestlige kulturer som ikke er al for udviklet i denne tankegang. Fordi vi her i den nordlige del af verden ikke er så udviklet i dette område er det derfor vigtig for mig at kunne starte kurser for forældre som er interesseret i at lære massageteknikken for babyer, men også for at lære dem hvorfor ”touch” er så utrolig vigtig for de små. For at kunne forstå lige hvor vigtig det er for børn at blive rørt på en sund måde giver jeg dig som læser dette en lille smagsprøve af vigtig og berømt forskning i dette område fra fortiden:
Endvidere, for os som har været forældre, vi ved hvordan det kan slide når små børn græder i lang tid. Dette er også en grund hvorfor det er vigtig for mig at forsyne nye forældre med teknikker som kan lindre smerte på grund af luft i maven, eller kolik før forældre må erfare timevis af babygræd, dermed nedsætter man også nye forældres stressniveau. Og her er en lille smagsprøve af de ting som det bliver snakket om i de fremtidige babymassagekurser:
SANCTI’s første babymassage kursus er i det første stadie at blive udviklet på dansk, og jeg er meget begejstret over dette. Jeg håber derfor at du som læser dette kigger ind på hjemmesiden og følger med hvornår disse kurser er tilgængelige.
Spred nyheden om de fremtidige kurser, så SANCTI kan sprede glæden til de mindste (og deres forældre) i vores samfund!

The cat is out of the bag, as a personal secret (which really isn’t a secret to those close to me) is now laid out:
I love everything which has to do with children due to the fact that I absolutely adore children! If there is anything which can produce a smile on a grey Copenhagen day, it is meeting a set of iridescent eyes peeking out from beneath the shade of a baby stroller, showing off the tiny baby teeth while presenting a big grin to the “grown-ups” whom take the time to look toward the stroller and thus the child; only the sight of a cluster of little people waiting, with childish eagerness, for the bus to arrive, while the person in charge of the little daycare cluster nervously counts everyone, ensuring that all are still present, can warm my heart more than that of a winter coat. Because of the fact that all persons in tiny forms has a tendency to play with my heartstrings , it only made sense to book airline tickets to London, England…to attend the course in which the art of instructing parents, as well as other providers, how to perform infant massage.
To me, completing the “Certified Infant Massage Instructor” course and thereafter becoming a CIMI, presents a perfect opportunity to be able to give new parents the gift of learning how to take time to create the invaluable bond between parent/child, while forging trust to the parent by the child; and in return, creates a long lasting memory for the parent of the child of a time well spent, although past, now treasured, never forgotten.
While looking at the history of infant massage: Infant massage has been implemented into many cultures throughout centuries, in places such as India, in parts of the African continent, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka, where is has been tradition to give the infant massage shortly after birth, quite contrary to cultures found in the western part of the world, where the mindset of providing newborns with such treatment has not progressed thus far. Due to this fact, I find it important to provide courses to parents whom are interested in learning the art of infant massage in order to change the mindset of “touch” with regard to parent/child, and to inform such parents of the importance “touch” is to the vitality of the infant/child. In order for you whom are reading this to comprehend exactly how important “touch” is for an infant/child, I am providing a link to an article from the past which briefly describes such importance, as well as mentioning important research (which is quite famous to those whom have studied this area of human development):

Furthermore, for those of us who have had the wonderful opportunity to be parents, know how tiring a situation of a crying can become when such crying continues for a long time. This is yet another reason for which I want to provide new parents with the 5-week infant massage course, as it provides an opportunity to teach such parents techniques which can provide relief to the infant in circumstances such as excessive gas in the abdomen, colic, etc., before the circumstance escalates to a situation of having a baby whom cries uncontrollably for hours due to pain, thus providing relief to new parents of potential excessive stress in an already new and stressful phase of one’s life such as parenthood. I am hereby providing a sample of things which will be discussed during the course in addition to learning the massage techniques:

SANCTI’s first course in “Infant Massage for New Parents” is in the first phase of development, as it needs to be developed in Danish and according to Danish regulations. I cannot express how excited I am about this! I hope that all whom read this will check in and follow the progression, and to find out when the initial course starts.
