Baby Gentle Touch

I teach the full baby massage over 5 sessions, meeting once a week for 5 weeks. Each session is 60–75 minutes long. I give parents massage oil to keep, and a coloured booklet showing all the massage strokes, so they can refer back to this when the classes finish. I also give parents several other handouts and a certificate for completing the classes!

I include refreshments, so over a cuppa, parents can have a chat and the chance for a bit of a breather. It’s all very relaxed and informal.

Each session starts with me demonstrating (on a doll) and parents/carers watch me and massage their baby at the same time. It’s important to read our baby’s cues/signs, so it helps parent and baby get to “know” each other and this can enhance bonding and attachment.
It’s a very relaxed atmosphere and I encourage parents to do exactly what they want during each session; so rock or comfort their baby, feed their baby, let their baby cry.

I’m a certified instructor with IAIM (the largest and longest standing worldwide association dedicated solely to baby massage) and I’m insured and qualified to teach parents and carers to massage their own babies, from birth to 12 months.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have, without any obligation to join a class. I am very happy to answer as many questions as you like; I’m a mum of two boys and if I were thinking of signing up for a new class or activity, I would like to have all the information I need to make an informed choice.
