We keep to groups to a maximum of 5-6 parents and babies to enable everyone to feel comfortable and able to learn in a friendly environment.  You can book a complete course for you and your friends in either one of the centres or your own home. Discounts are available for home courses - see below. Popular with NCT groups.

 

We use pure vegetable oil to massage the babies, with no scent or perfume.  Oils such as grape seed, sunflower, calendula or olive oil (all cold-pressed) are the best for your baby’s skin.  We do not use Essential Oils or (Mineral) ‘Baby Oil’.  I will provide the oil we will be using, which you get to keep during the course and for use at home once the classes end. If you are using any creams or oils for infantile ezcema or dry skin then you are welcome to massage your baby with those so please bring them along.

 

Do we get notes to take home?

I will provide your course notes, research and articles at the first class.  This includes a useful handout of helpful hints or tips for massaging your baby from other mums who have attended the course.  

 

What do I need to bring?

A towel (we will be taking your baby’s nappy off to massage him/her!) and a spare nappy. Please also bring a small blanket, which will be used to keep your baby warm whilst teaching.  

 

As we are working on the floor, please wear loose, comfy clothes.

 

It is not recommended that babies are massaged within 24 hours of immunisations however if this coincides with the class dates if is still helpful to come along and watch as everything is repeated and built on each weeks so you will not miss anything.
