 Curriculum for the Holistic Newborn Care Specialist/Newborn Nanny Course

As you can see, it is NOT a basic course but includes many advanced subjects.  This is a holistic course on how to naturally help your client and their newborn.  We will delve into homeopathic, herbal, essential oils, home remedies, acupressure, and other natural modalities that would benefit everyone  We are also the only course that includes a complete class on how to successfully start your own business (The ABC's of Starting your Business) and how to do consultations. This Curriculum is from the full-color manual that you receive if you order it with the class.  The video class does not contain the numerous charts, grafts, illustrations, and articles the manual contains. Our classes use live demonstrations of techniques.   This course covers newborn to 18 months but also covers potty training.
