What to expect….

Our baby massage course runs for 5 weeks, slowly introducing new strokes each week. This gentle introduction enhances the experience of massage for both your baby and you and allows time to get to know other parents and discuss topics relevant to parenting and massage.

You will be offered an opportunity to learn baby massage with your baby over 5 weekly sessions.  Only you or your partner will massage your baby during the sessions, whilst Alex uses a life-size doll to show you the massage strokes and gentle stretches.

The 5 sessions break down a whole body massage into small manageable sections, which allow you and your baby to cope with the new techniques.  It can take weeks for an baby to tolerate a whole body massage due to their immature nervous system.  Breaking the techniques down into small sections means both you and your baby can get the most from the sessions.

You will have the opportunity to ask lots of questions during and after the sessions.

Alex will provide massage oils and handouts for each session.  There will be an opportunity after each session to relax, meet other parents and ask questions.
