Why attend a baby massage class?

Our courses are taught over a number of weeks to give both the parent and the baby time to learn and become accustomed to the massage.  Each week a new part of the body is taught, followed by a repeat demonstration of previous classes, thereby giving continued reinforcement of what has already been learned, as well as new information.  We teach a little at a time to ensure that you are confident with every aspect.  Handouts are given so that you can refresh strokes at home in your daily massage practice.

The strokes and styles of baby massage are easier to grasp when demonstrated by our experienced instructors. Pressure, rate, rhythm, the length of the massage, respect, bonding, why babies cry, baby’s body language, positioning of the baby, relaxation and parent empowerment are some of the skills that will be taught and the topics that will be discussed.

Our instructors do not massage the babies – we teach parents how to massage their babies.  A baby massage class is a wonderful time for just the two of you to have fun and gain skills that are of enormous benefit to both parent and babe.

Classes
