“The course gave me ‘permission’ to interact and bond with my baby through touch. It’s now a regular part of our day, and my baby loves it and seems more relaxed after a session.”
Baby Massage courses take place at my home near Lloyd Park in E17, for a small group of families*. Baby Massage is suitable from 4 weeks onwards and there's really no upper limit on it, as part of what you’re doing is creating a language of touch for your family which will grow and change over time.
Touch and baby massage are an incredible way to co-regulate you and your baby’s nervous systems, soothing and giving a gorgeous oxytocin boost to you both. It builds confidence, and gives you that time for connection and fun together.
Baby massage is also hugely effective at helping babies feel more comfortable in their bodies and easing their developing digestive systems. Massage also helps build the muscle tone and strength needed for your baby to hold up their head, enjoy tummy time and eventually move independently.
Over the weeks, we will start by gently exploring touch and different holds, building up to giving a full body massage to your baby. The course aims to give you the skills and confidence to do a little or a lot and incorporate massaging your baby into your lives.
We will do some simple breathing and stretching for parents too, and have social time for tea, a snack and chats. All equipment will be provided.
