Baby massage is one of the most wonderful bonding experiences between mother and child. Luxuriate in the benefits of the massage, both physical and emotional, both for your baby and for you. Studies from around the world show that infant massage reduces postnatal depression and improves mother and baby relationships, plus massage can relieve numerous baby discomforts such as colic.

The classes are taught in a relaxed and welcoming environment. You will be shown how to adapt the massage strokes to your baby’s individual needs – and you will learn so much more than a massage routine!
