Learn the art of baby massage
Massage techniques can be used for infants 4 weeks and older.
During the class, I will perform the massage on a life size doll, while you follow the steps with your baby.
Spare dolls are available for parent’s if your baby is asleep or irritable.
The classes are relaxed and paced to allow for nappy changing, feeding or settling your baby. Crying is welcomed.
The massage strokes can be adapted to toddlers and older children, and for children with additional needs.
Group classes and private lessons are offered
