Baby Massage

What is Baby Massage?

Baby Massage is a very special art of using nurturing touch to communicate with your baby, to show them that they are loved, welcomed and respected, and that they can feel safe and secure in their new world.


Parents/Caregivers massage their own baby using a specifically designed series of strokes. This series combines Indian and Swedish massage along with Reflexology techniques and some gentle yoga based exercises into a routine designed to be beneficial for infants.

Baby massage is a positive way to support and promote the well-being of your baby.

In these classes mothers/caregivers come together with other parents to learn techniques to use with baby in the home. The classes are also a lovely way to connect in with other mothers and provides a supportive space for everyone to share their parenting journey with others.

Baby massage is something that every parent or caregiver can learn and practice- providing benefits to both baby and parents.
