Zen Babies

This 5 week baby massage course will give you all the skills and strokes needed to enjoy massage as part of your routine with your new baby. We start with the chest, tummy and legs as lots of parents come to me becuase baby is suffering with reflux and colic symptoms and usually constipation too, massaging these areas all helps aid digestion, allieviate colic and reflux symptoms and helps relax baby and parent. Massage also promotes relaxation for a better sleep, soothes teething pain, builds muscle tone, helps babies put on weight and increases the parent and baby bond. Each week we repeat the strokes from the previous week and add on a body part, in week two we will add the feet, arms and hands to our routine. On your first session you will recieve a bottle of oil and a booklet containing all the strokes used and some song. Each session is 50 minutes but I say allow an hour to gather your things, feed / change baby. 

Baby massage is one way of expressing love, caring and respect through touch that has been shown to have many benefits to parent-child attachment and children’s development. We start with a chest and tummy routine, each week we add on a body part building up to a full body massage. On your first session you will receive a small bottle of oil and a booklet containing all the strokes used and some songs for you to keep and use in your sessions and at home.
