Baby massage is for all babies from birth up to 1 (while all babies benefit, it is easier the less mobile babies are!) All parents and primary caregivers may attend.

There are certainly many, but the main ones include: • Helping baby to feel securely attached • Reduced crying and emotional distress • Increased levels of relaxation • Development of body awareness • Relief from wind, colic and constipation

The sessions have many benefits for you too, which include: • Feeling closer to your baby • An increased understanding of your baby • Feeling the relaxing benefits of giving your baby nurturing touch

You will learn the IAIM (International Association of Infant Massage) routine, colic routine, gentle movements, touch relaxation and have opportunity for informal parental discussion. The course draws from both Indian and Swedish massage techniques and incorporates principles of yoga and reflexology. The sessions aim to be relaxing for you and your baby, where you both feel nurtured. Sessions are baby/parent friendly and welcoming. Babies are babies so do not worry if your baby cries, needs feeding or changing.

Massage oil and handouts are provided. You only need bring a towel for baby to lay on, a small blanket, and your baby!
