Baby massage
The 6-week massage courses draw from both Indian and Swedish massage traditions as well as incorporating principles from yoga and reflexology.
Two Baby massage courses are currently available.
Introducing Baby Massage, where we build on the strokes week-on-week as we work our way up to a full body massage routine.
Once you’ve completed this course, Songs and Story Baby Massage is great follow-on course, where popular nursery rhymes and stories bring the massage to life!
Benefits of baby massage
What can I expect?
Baby massage has been practiced in many cultures for thousands of years and research shows numerous benefits for both parents and babies.
The classes provide an opportunity for you to enjoy special, focussed time with your baby in a welcoming and supportive environment.
Only you will massage your baby. The instructor will demonstrate the strokes on a doll.
Each week will focus on a different body area, such a legs, arms, tummy, face and back.
Classes also include an introduction to gentle movements and a specific colic routine.
Babies are encouraged to be babies so don’t worry if your baby chooses the time to sleep, cry or feed. Strokes will be reviewed and handouts are given so you can practice at home when your baby is more in the mood!
Classes are suitable from birth until active crawling.
Maximum spaces per class of 8, so it will feel intimate and the venue will be clean and warm.
