Massage for all the family
Our Sessions
My classes and at home sessions are all baby led. There is no need to worry about a crying or restless baby, crying is welcome at my classes this is how baby communicates. Over the five week course you will learn your baby's own unique dialogue enabling you to see to your baby's needs to be able to continue massage. I provide everything you will need for massaging your baby, massage mat and cushion for you to sit on. I ask you to bring a small blanket that baby uses at home, for baby to lie on with massage mat as baby will be used to this familiar smell reassuring baby of the new environment and lying on the new mat. I suggest comfortable clothing as we will be sitting on the floor and we want you to be as relaxed as possible to get the full enjoyment of the massage with your baby. I provide you with a bottle of organic sunflower oil for you to use during our massage classes. If you wish you can purchase more from me for your own future massages with baby. I can provide details of what oils to use on baby's skin for you to purchase yourself.

ADOPTIVE AND FOSTER PARENTS
( Only one parent can massage baby per session )
Premature Babies
Special adapted massage with resting hands and containment holds can help baby accept touch in a loving way and create a secure boundary where baby feels safe. Parents will learn to respect baby's threshold for stimuli, will aid in baby's stability and broaden in baby's capacity for interaction.
Twin Babies
Twin baby sessions are the same price as one baby. For these sessions we prefer if both parents are present or the primary caregiver and a close friend or relative that baby is familiar with (only one parent to massage same baby in one session). Learn as parents to enhance the special bond for both babies.
Adoptive and Foster Parents
Learn to introduce touch in a loving way and accept touch to create a special bond that will last a lifetime.
Additional Needs
I provide an adapted massage for babies and older children to teach parents to massage their wee one that meets their needs and help them get used to touch to create your special bond.
Fathers
All fathers are welcome to join in with the baby massage course together as parents or fathers can do sessions themselves to enhance their bond with baby.
Grandparents/Aunties and Uncles
All grandparents are welcome or aunties and uncles are welcome as a couple or on their own (we need written confirmation from the legal caregiver). This can provide a greater bond with baby when taking on caring duties.
INDIAN AND SWEDISH MASSAGE STROKES
The Indian and Swedish strokes balance one another perfectly. Indian massage works the tension and release, while Swedish strokes stimulate the circulation of blood towards the heart.
GENTLE MOVEMENTS
Gentle movements are inspired by the principles from yoga, gentle movements support coordination, balance and flexibility. This is a fun and new way of movement for babies.
GAS AND COLIC ROUTINE
This routine can be used when babies have tummy pain, gas and constipation. I have an adapted massage for babies diagnosed with gastric reflux.
