Baby
Massage
"Throughout
life, no matter what age, to be held and comforted is the most
healing act one human being can give another."
*
This is especially true for babies, for whom skin to skin is
not only calming and reassuring but research suggests that massage
improves sleep and helps baby's physical and mental growth.
Baby massage is good for parents too as it encourages a feeling
of closeness to the baby as well as confidence in handling and
reading baby's language.
About my classes ...
In
my classes parents are shown how to massage their babies in
a relaxed and fun way. Classes last for around 1½ hours. Some
of this time we spend learning a full body massage that you
can do at home and some of the time I facilitate discussions
on issues such as learning baby’s cues, managing the end
of the day, sleep routines and any topics that are important
to parents in the class. Classes are usually small to ensure
a relaxed atmosphere. I supply oil and mats and handouts on
massage and discussion topics.
I can also teach baby massage at your home on a one-to-one basis
and can combine it with babymentoring.
