Baby Massage is a wonderful skill to learn which also develops bonding with your baby, and is the beginning of a wonderful means of communicating with one another for life: through touch.

Your baby should be over 6 weeks old before you start a baby massage course.
I provide warm towels, a detailed booklet, massage mats and organic, cold-pressed,
unrefined oil throughout the course for your use. I only have small groups
(maximum of 6 babies) in a nurturing, warm, setting.
The course will introduce you to some of the basic principles of respectful
touch, bonding, use of oils and skin care. We learn massage techniques
for use on your baby and how to adapt them as baby grows.
There is plenty of mother
nurture, inlcuding tea, biscuits and fruit, and relaxed time to talk with
other mothers!
Once you have completed the 5 week course, you are welcome to attend baby
massage morning sessions and summer workshops which provide development
on techniques for massaging your growing child and expands your knowledge
of oils and their uses.
Private Five Week Course £130
This can take place at either your own home or in my teaching space and

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 for example - when dad can be there
to learn too.
