Baby Massage is a valuable life-skill that helps new parents to bond with baby and learn to read their needs. It is pleasurable and relaxing for both carer and baby.
There are many more benefits for baby and care giver including:
- Promotes better sleep
- Can help ease Colic
- Improved skin condition
- Encourages development and early communication
- Relaxation
- Boosts the Immune System
- Establishes Routine
- Can help relieve respiratory conditions
- Can help with teething pain
Studies show that Baby Massage may be beneficial for Premature Babies. They learn positive touch and can gain weight faster. It may also be beneficial for Mums with Post Natal Illness and Dads.
Anyone can learn Baby Massage and our 5 week course is suitable for Babies from 6 weeks – crawling. Our classes are fun, relaxed and you learn at your own pace. They also include some multi-sensory play, songs and musical instruments. I offer one-to-one tuition during social time to ensure that you are confident with the strokes you have learned in class.
A Manual and Bottle of Massage Oil are included for you to practice at home and I am always at the end of the phone if you get stuck and need some help!
All you will need to bring to class is a ‘special’ towel that you will continue to use for massage – your baby will learn very quickly to associate the towel with massage time.
The Cost of the 5 week Baby Massage and Play Course is £40.00 and booking your place is essential. I will require a £10.00 deposit to secure your place and the balance must be paid at your first class.
Gift Vouchers are available for friends and family to buy and can be redeemed against any course within 6 months.
