Baby Massage classes are five weeks in length and will give you the opportunity to learn this wonderful lifelong skill of massaging your baby, as well as making new friends along the way.
Nicky is a IAIM (International Association of Infant Massage) qualified instructor, the IAIM is present in over 80 countries and has been the corner stone of infant massage since its formation in 1981.
The benefits of baby massage include:
- Infant-Parent attachment or "bonding"
- Relaxation
- Makes baby feel loved
- Promotes better sleep
- Can help relieve the symptoms of colic
- Helps build parents' and baby's self-esteem
- Helps you learn about your baby (their needs and desires)
- Relaxes parents
Nicky’s classes are small (between 5-8 mums/dads/grandparents and babies) and they are totally baby led, meaning it is fine to feed/change and do whatever ‘little-one’ needs during a class.
You will learn a different technique each week starting with the legs and feet, Nicky will re-demonstrate the previous week’s strokes so there is always an opportunity to catch up should you miss a technique. You will also learn a specific routine designed to help with colic and wind. Classes are very sociable and there is always time to catch up over a drink and biscuit!
Nicky also practices Pregnancy Massage, Maternity Reflexology and she also teaches birth partners how to use massage during labour as a form of pain relief, please contact her for more info.
