Who are the classes for? 

This 5 week programme is suitable for all babies from birth to 1 year old. My classes are mainly for babies aged 8+weeks up to pre-crawling. I also offer 1:1 classes.

​

Where do classes take place? 

Classes take place at my home in Staines or at other locations locally. I can also travel to your home if you prefer. 

​

What are classes like? 

Classes are small, relaxed and baby-led. Each week we massage a different part of the body, before revisiting what we have covered in previous sessions. (I demonstrate the massage strokes on a special doll). 

We end each class with a poem or a quotation and some informal discussion while we enjoy refreshments. I provide parent booklets which you can take home. 

 

I'm worried my baby will cry a lot in the class/will need feeding half way through. Should I still come?  

Yes! Please be reassured that our classes are baby-led which means that feeding, nappy changing, crying or sleeping may all happen at some point. I encourage all parents to see to their baby's needs before starting/continuing massage. 

​

How can massage help my baby?

Massage helps your baby to feel securely attached; it reduces crying and emotional distress; increases levels of relaxation; develops body awareness; and provides some relief from wind, colic and constipation. 

 

How does massaging my baby help me? 

Massaging your baby helps you feel closer to him/her; gives you an increased understanding of your baby; brings you the relaxing benefits of giving your baby nurturing touch; offers you focused time with your baby; provides an opportunity to socialise and share parenting experiences in a welcoming & supportive environment; and last, but not least, you can have fun whilst learning a life-long skill.
