Join me for a wonderful way to relax and bond with your baby as we work through simple guided massage techniques, week by week building up to a full body massage.
Baby massage is such a lovely first class to do with your baby; as well as bonding and calming there are some wonderful benefits to massaging your baby as it can provide relief from:
👶 Colic
👶 Reflux
👶 Digestive issues
👶 Constipation
👶 Teething Pain
👶 Congestion
We will also begin each session with some simple stretches to ease YOUR achey shoulders and back (so it's not just the babies that we are taking care of!).
☕️ At the end of each session there is always time for group connection and chat, with a hot drink (fresh coffee, tea, decaff and herbal options available) and a home made snack provided (all free from options catered for).
Babies are welcome in class from 4 weeks, but please note that prior to 6 weeks dry massage or massage through clothes is recommended.
Massage should be avoided for 48 hours after immunisations so please bear this in mind (you will always be welcome to attend class purely for socialising even if not massaging!).
"I LOVED this class with my little one! I was so nervous about taking him out on my own for the first time, but Amy made me feel really welcome and at ease. It didn't matter if he cried or I needed to feed him, it really helped build my confidence to be in such a supportive environment. It's a beautiful studio and the cake was 👌"
The course includes everything you need to be able to carry on your practice at home; baby safe grapeseed oil and an E-guide covering everything we do in class.
Frequently Asked Questions
How old does my baby need to be for baby massage?
Baby massage is suitable to start from 4 weeks, although before 6 weeks you will be recommended to massage your baby dry, without oil. I would recommend doing the class before your baby starts to roll over or sit up as the more mobile babies tend to want to see what is going on in the rest of the class rather than lying on their back!
What if my baby sleeps, feeds or cries in the class?
Totally fine! This is a baby class, so it would be crazy if babies didn't do any or all of these things at some point in the class. The class environment is relaxed and welcoming so you and your baby can do whatever you need. The class flows at a steady pace which means that you can dip in and out and we repeat the sequence, building over the weeks so you will get the opportunity to do all of it as the weeks progress.
What do I need to bring to a class?
Your usual change bag things, including a blanket to give your baby some extra padding to lie on under the towel that is provided. We will be sitting on the floor on yoga mats and there are plenty of extra blankets and bolsters to keep you comfortable.
Are there any times or reasons that I can't do baby massage?
I would not recommend massaging straight after a feed, within 48 hours of immunisations or on the site of immunisations or your baby is unwell/fractious for any reason. As long as you and your baby are well enough to come to a class though you will always be welcome to socialise and enjoy a hot drink and cake, even if you are not massaging!
