Baby Massage

The benefits of infant massage are more far-reaching than they may at first seem. For an infant, massage is much more than a relaxing experience or a type of physical therapy. It helps the baby’s internal functions work smoothly, releases tension and helps your baby to feel securely loved and cherished, a benefit that will remain with your baby for life.

Baby MassageClasses are held over 4 weeks, slowly building up the massage routine to suit the baby's pace. All of the techniques are demonstrated and explained fully by our therapists using a doll, and the parents then massage their own babies.

If baby is asleep or a bit tetchy, a doll will be provided to practise on. (It is up to the parents to practice these skills in between classes to build up the baby's tolerance).

Our therapists will discuss many aspects of the baby massage, explaining the benefits of the particular massage movements, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions, or go over any of the movements again.

Each week we will explore a different area of the body, and then finally we will bring the whole routine together. This is a lovely way to bond with your baby and to meet others with babies of similar ages.

The massage sessions will last for around an hour with the last 30 minutes for discussions and questions time.
Babies will often dictate when this has to be shortened
Maximum of 6 babies per course.
