If mummy is treating herself to massage, then it’s only right that baby has one too, right? Long before a baby can communicate, they get to know the world around them through touch. Baby massage is an extension of this – it’s a nice way to calm your baby and regular massage can even help them to sleep better too (and who doesn’t want that?)
Book you interest to find out when classes are held or if you would like to book a 1-2-1 session, this can be available to suit you and your babies needs.
All of our classes are baby-led, which means that baby has the right to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to the massage each week, with no pressure placed on parent or baby. Our small classes are held in relaxed and comfortable venues, giving you an opportunity to relax with your baby as well as meet other parents and babies in your local area.
Dads and Grandparents are welcome too 🙂 – Baby massage isn’t just for mums, it also has a positive effect on the father-baby/Grandparent-baby bond!
When you join one of our courses, you will receive:
- Expert tuition from a qualified Infant Massage Teacher
- Small class groups of no more than 8 parents/babies
- Refreshments and time for a chat each week
We advise that babies are over 6 weeks old when they start a course and can join us anytime before they begin to crawl.
