Baby Massage
 
Through this affordable 5 week course you will learn how to massage your baby using a variety of strokes including those suitable for premature babies.
As a certified Infant Massage Instructor with I.A.I.M I am able to offer courses run over a 5 week period each class being approximatley one hour long, either in a group at an organised venue or a private class in your own home.
They are designed to enhance the bond between parent/carer and child, providing a way of easing pain, giving a one to one time of interaction, relaxation and stimulation.
You will also have the opportunity to learn strokes that have many benefits as outlined below.
All parents/carers are welcome and we encourage a relaxing environment for you and your baby, with each session ending with social time where you can chat, make new friends and share experiences.
You will be provided with a cold pressed vegetable oil for use in class and at home, class notes with pictures of the massage strokes that you will learn each week and a Keepsake Certificate for your baby at the end of the course.
Mats are provided but you may wish to bring two towels along with you to the course.
Below are some of the benefits for Mums, Dads and Babies:
