Baby Massage

For our Baby Massage Courses we offer group and 121 sessions. Our Group sessions can be booked via our bookings page or please contact us to discuss your options and build your own 121 package.

We are located in Atherstone, Tamworth, Lichfield, Nuneaton and their surrounding villages.

Our Baby Massage courses are designed for Babies aged 6 weeks to precrawling, and we do require you and Little One to have completed your 6 week Doctor & Health Visitor check. This ensures that you are both safe during the sessions.

Our Baby Massage Course is aimed at creating a positive bonding experience between parent and baby through touch, and allowing parent and baby to relax together and learn about each other.

All our Baby Massage Courses are calm, relaxed and we aim to create a cosy and safe environment for you and your Little One.

Throughout the 4 week course we will cover the following areas of the body:

Week 1 – Legs & Tummy Routine

Week 2 – Chest & Arms & recap Tummy & Legs

Week 3 – Head & Face & recap Chest & Arms, Timmy & Legs

Week 4 – Back & recap Head & Face, Chest & Arms, Tummy & Legs

There is also plenty of time to chat during and after the session.

As part of my extra support to you, you can also ask any Safer Sleep questions you may have. As i have completed the Safer Sleep Training from The Lullaby Trust you are in safe hands.

During week 1 you will receive your own bottle of Organic Sunflower massage oil. We recommend this oil as it’s the closets oil to the skins natural oil, is easily absorbed, is fragrance free and is allergen free. We also patch test before using the oil to confirm that you and Little One are both safe.

All handouts are provided on our Baby Massage courses for you to have a practice at home.

Then at the end of our course, you will receive your Graduation Pack, containing your certificate, treats and support for both you and Little One.

During our last session, there is also a chance for a photo opportunity and a Polaroid for you to take home and treasure.

This course is suitable for babies aged 6 weeks to precrawling, however up to 1 years old can join us.

We welcome siblings to the sessions, and there are plenty of toys and maybe a biscuit to keep them entertained, but please let me know in advance so I can organise this!

All of Baby Massage Courses are baby led, so don’t worry if you Little One falls asleep, starts crying, is hungry or just doesn’t want to join in, that’s fine! You can just observe and try again later at home, there’s also basket of additional sensory toys to play with instead.

The price of the course includes the use of all the equipment, the oil to take home, a graduation photo and your graduation good pack.

Online 4 Week Baby Massage Course

Since the outbreak of coronavirus, we have adapted our sessions into online sessions via Zoom. These are the same classes , just slightly different at the end of the camera!

We still cover all of the above, as in the Face to Face courses.

These sessions are usually 121 sessions and can be arranged to suit yourself. Once each session is complete, all of the handouts are emailed over.

As the online sessions are slightly different, there is plenty of time to ask any questions you may have or if there is anything you are not sure of, we can recap again as we go through.

Once the course is complete, you will receive your Graduation Pack and your all important Certificate through the post for your memory box.
