Baby Massage
Our Classes
Baby massage is a wonderful way to bond with your baby. It can help with starting and maintaining a regular sleep pattern and with relaxation. It also helps to relieve colic, constipation and digestive disorders and can be a great way to meet other parents and babies at the classes.
Classes are suitable from about 5 weeks old until baby is mobile/crawling. Classes are very relaxed, small and friendly and all are baby-led so you can stop and feed/cuddle baby at any time. There is no need to worry about crying as this is to be expected at times!
It’s quite normal for some babies to miss some of the massage due to feeding or sleeping etc. but parents/carers should be able to watch and learn the moves and by the last week should feel confident that they know the routine.
A free booklet is provided to all attendees with all of the moves and songs in and, on the last week, you will receive a certificate with the baby's footprints on (optional).
Course Structure
We offer five-week courses, building up the massage with each week. All classes last an hour including time for a free cuppa and time to chat with other parents/carers.
On the first week we will do a patch test to check that the fractionated coconut oil is okay to use on your baby. We start to get to know each other and then do a short massage on the chest, tummy and legs. The next week we incorporate massage of the feet, arms and hands and by the last week we are doing the full body routine.

Baby Massage
1-to-1
If you have recently had a baby then the thought of leaving the house in those early weeks can seem daunting and much too much like hard work. We understand this and would love to help support you at this special (if somewhat exhausting) time.
Baby massage is a great way to connect with your baby and while joining a class has the benefits of meeting other like-minded parents etc., doing a one-to-one class at home can feel like a more intimate experience in a familiar environment. This can make the whole learning more relaxed and can be done in your own time.
