NEWLY DEVELOPED COURSE NOW RUNNING...
Six Week Baby Massage Course £52
This course combines my teaching of baby massage with added input on holistic skin care and ideas for supporting your child through common childhood complaints - from colds to teething! This course runs for longer than most and gives carers the time to really absorb the techniques in our learning setting.
My course runs in Truro on Wednesday mornings, either give me a ring or email me to reserve a place on a course. Classes are held in a beautiful, tranquil location which is warm and welcoming.
Ideally, your baby should be over 6 weeks old before you start a baby massage course, and you are welcome to join my group with young toddlers - a group will be balanced with your child's age in mind.
I provide a detailed booklet which accompanies the course, massage mats and organic, cold-pressed, unrefined oil throughout the course for your use.
The course will introduce you to some of the basic principles of respectful touch, bonding and use of oils. We will go into detail about both our own and our childrens' skin care and holistic methods of supporting common childhood complaints such as teething.
We learn massage techniques for use on your baby and how to adapt them as baby grows.
I only have small groups (maximum of 6 babies) in a nurturing, warm, setting.
There is plenty of mother nurture, inlcuding tea, biscuits and fruit, and relaxed time to talk with other mothers!
Private Five Week Course £130
This can take place at either your own home, Special Care Baby Unit, or in my teaching space and is suitable for a baby or child of any age. If you have a three year old and have decided you want to learn infant massage then this is how you can achieve it! It may also suit some parents who want to learn at a specific time – baby’s bedtime or when your partner is able to attend.
