Having over 15 years’ experience as a Midwife, I know the power of gentle, nurturing touch. Baby massage is a wonderful way to bond with your baby! This 5-week course will provide you with an introduction to baby massage, including its origins and benefits. Over the 5 sessions, you will learn how to massage your little one from head to toe. Learning these simple strokes and movements can help you to soothe your baby and may also be used to ease the symptoms of common ailments such as trapped wind, constipation and teething pain.
This is a lovely, relaxed course where we take the lead from your baby. They can have as much or as little massage as they like during the session. If they need time to feed, sleep, have cuddles etc. this isn’t a problem at all! We will repeat previously learned strokes each week, before adding in a new area. I provide handouts with descriptions of each stroke and movement, so you can also give it a go at home. You will be given some grapeseed oil to use for the massage if you wish, or you are welcome to bring your own oil if you prefer.
The sessions will begin with 45 minutes for guided massage, where I will demonstrate each stroke and movement. The final 30 minutes is set aside to allow you time to chat and relax with a drink and biscuits. I will also provide sensory toys for your little ones to play with.
The course is best suited to babies ranging from 6 weeks to pre-crawling. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
