Baby massage is a fantastic way to bond with your baby, learn to communicate through the language of touch, and connect with other mums and babies in your community. Integrating massage into your baby's routine can support baby's development, build a strong, confident relationship with your baby, and gives you the opportunity to communicate love, security, comfort, and much more to your baby.

Some of the benefits of massage for baby and parent include:

- Massage can bring relief to a number of conditions experienced by babies in the first months of life, such as trapped wind and colic, and can also bring relief of teething pain and ease colds and congestion.

- Massage aids relaxation and reduces stress levels for both parents and baby. During massage, baby and parent both experience rises in the 'feel good hormones' - oxytocin and prolactin.

- A daily massage can help to increase the baby's stimulation threshold and help them to process information.

This 4 week course will gradually teach the full baby massage routine, building week-by-week.

Note: Babies are welcome from birth until crawling, but I would recommend that you wait until after your 6 week check up before starting massage classes.

This class runs on Wednesday mornings from 11:00-12:00, on 08/01/25, 15/01/25, 22/01/25, finishing on 29/01/25.

Included in ticket price:

- A small bottle of massage oil for use during the class and at home.

- Ticket is for 1 baby and 1 parent (for twins please contact me - if just one parent attending then you will only need one ticket)

- A handout after each session detailing the strokes taught in the class

- Refreshments will be provided, and the course is a great way to connect with other parents in your local community!

I never want finances to be a barrier and can offer 1 or 2 low income places, please reach out if this would be helpful for you!
