Baby Massage Course
Tunbridge Wells, Kent
Baby Massage is one of the most wonderful activities that you can engage in with your baby as it has so many benefits for them physically, emotionally and socially and is the epitome of promoting ‘Wellness’ from birth!
Our courses are run by our qualified and highly experienced instructor and progress over a 5-week period.
The course is suitable for all babies from 4 weeks to pre-crawling.
You will be in the same group each week, allowing you to meet other local parents with babies of a similar age
About the course
During the course you will be taught leg, feet, arms, chest, tummy, face and back massage strokes, which can be used throughout early childhood and all of which have specific benefits for babies.
The rhythmic strokes taught can provide relief from congestion, teething, wind, constipation and colic, whilst boosting your baby’s immune system and strengthening their muscle tone and flexibility.
Baby massage is also a wonderful way to communicate and bond with your baby, whilst learning further how to understand the key cues that they are expressing to you.
One of the huge benefits of baby massage is the release of the hormone ‘Oxytocin’ – the ‘feel good’ hormone which helps babies to feel relaxed. Many parents comment on how well their baby feeds and sleeps after a massage! Our instructor will also teach a specific bedtime massage that can be used during your night time routine if you so wish.
Our course aims to be relaxed and informal. There may be points during the class that your baby may need to feed or sleep, but you can still sit back and observe and learn the strokes that can then be practised at home.
