Baby Massage

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.

I offer a course of 4 sessions which gradually teaches the full baby massage routine, building week-by-week. This can be done on a 1:1 basis, or with a small group, in the comfort of your own home.

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.
