baby massage beginnings
Face to Face & Virtual Sessions Available.
For babies 6 weeks to rolling (or roughly 6 months).
At this moment we are only offering Baby Massage as private classes.
If you’re like most new parents, then you’ve probably purchased gadgets & gizmos to help with sleep, you’ve read the books, parent forums & asked Google for tummy trouble solutions.
That’s definitely one way to find help, it’s quick, proactive & sometimes even free. But there’s one huge, looming problem… It doesn’t all work for everyone, it can take hours of searching to find what you need and if we’re being honest the judgey comments sections in parent forums often fill you with anxieties.
You know what I’m talking, about right? 3am night feed shopping on Amazon for the latest ‘so called’ fix-all-for-babies. It’s tough that babies don’t come with manuels & it’s even harder that there just doesn’t seem to be enough support for new parents these days.
It’s enough to make you cry with frustration. But hold on a moment – it doesn’t have to be that way… Instead of looking outwards for solutions, imagine if you were able to look within yourself for solutions that are free, easy to do & can be done at anytime you or your family need. What’s more, can be done anywhere!

Touch is the first sense we develop, and our skin is the largest organ in our body. This week we’ll work on uncurling baby, they’ve been scrunched up in the womb for so long they’ve become accustomed to the position. We’ll boost circulation around the body and enjoy this early skin-to-skin experience – perfect for bonding.
