BABY MASSAGE WITH

Why Do Baby Massage?
This Baby Massage program has been designed using movements from Indian and Swedish massage, yoga and reflexology. Studies have shown it can help your baby feel more relaxed, improve sleep and offer relief from health problems such as colic, wind and constipation.
It's also beneficial for parents too - it's a great way to start socialising with your baby and continue to build a strong bond together through one-to-one interaction. Our baby massage classes are open to both mums and dads, or you can teach your partner the strokes you learn each week when you practice at home, so the whole family can benefit from the bonding experience.
Community group size is kept small with a usual maximum of ten; during is time of covid the sessions will currently have a maximum of six, to allow for social distancing. Sessions can be made available for private or specialised groups.
Suitable from newborn to 'active crawling'; all babies welcome.
