Baby and Infant Massage Classesindex_photo

Early childhood educators and midwives have noted positive improvements in parent child bonding and child growth and developmental milestones, by adding infant massage instruction to their respective fields.

Infant Massage is an ancient tradition now assisting many modern parents & carers to connect in a positive, deeply nourishing way with their baby's. It can assist parents to understand their little baby's communication cues, can assist babies sleep patterns (also extending the parent/carers sleep), relieve colic and assist hyperactive children to relax.

It's not a new age ritual rather an internationally recognised natural parenting initiate that has scientific and clinical studies to support the benefits of nurturing touch. 

The classes are designed for newborns up to a year old. The ideal age is around 4 months, i.e. before baby becomes too mobile and curious, but it is never too late to start!

There are 2 class options:

1. One-on-one classes
These are personalised classes for you and/or your partner and your baby.
Each weekly class will go for approximately 1.5 hours over 3 weeks.

The fee is based on my standard hourly rate. The total fee for the 3 weeks is $297 (incl. gst).

2. Group classes
A small group of mothers, fathers and carers. This is a great option for Mothers' Groups.
Each weekly class will go for approximately 1 hour over 5 weeks.

The class fee is $165 (incl. gst), which is just over $30 per class. A minimum of 3 babies are required for the classes to be run.

What you will receive:

The importance of teaching the massage techniques over several weeks is so baby can adjust comfortably to the new experiences. Too much stimulation can overload them. Please call me if you have any questions.
