The Course

Zoom Courses
New for 2020 are Zoom integrated online classes
No need to get out of the house for a set time or worry if it's chilly outside for your baby or stress about parking lugging a heavy car seat around! Relax and learn to massage your baby in the safety and comfort of your own home. For these courses you will need to provide your own oil and have a fluffy towel to massage your baby on and a comforting blanket. All of the instructions will be sent to you via email. These classes will have a maximum of 4 adults/babies in them to allow me to offer you my very best personal attention. If you would prefer a private course with your friends or a 1-1 course please contact me directly. Zoom classes are usually one hour in duration each week for 5 weeks. Due to less overheads for on online course I am able to offer these courses at a reduced rate. See my booking site for more details.

What's the 5 week Calm Baby Massage Course like?

 I teach the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM) programme.

On this course you'll learn to do much more than just a massage routine;  the programme covers touch, movement, relaxation, interaction and communication.

Infant massage helps your baby to feel secure and increases the bond between you. You will gain an increased understanding of your baby and it gives you the focused time with your baby that you both need.

The classes are for babies from birth to one year old.
​
The course is 5 weeks and we will concentrate on a different area of the body each week.
I will demonstrate a specific colic routine to help relieve the symptoms of colic.
Massage strokes are reviewed each week and our relaxed classes include time for an informal discussion.
You will receive a complimentary bottle of massage oil and handouts to practise at home.
​Each class will end with tea and cake (of course!).

In my class we welcome babies to be babies. So, please don't be concerned about class times coinciding with sleeps, feeds or crying. It is a very relaxed class where babies are allowed to cry and sleep and I welcome bottle-feeding as well as breastfeeding during the sessions.

You do not need to bring anything as everything is provided but your baby might feel happier if you bring a blanket from home so that its familiar smells reassure him/her.
