When Is It Safe To Start

What’s most important is how YOU are feeling. Often baby massage is the first mum and baby group people join. I understand that can be scary and I am here to support you through that daunting first class where you’re not sure how little one will be, or if they will cry (which they will, and THAT IS FINE). There is zero judgment, whether you turn up in your pyjamas still or need to have a cry because it’s been a tough night, I am here to support you through that as will all the women in your class.

 

For some, the thought of being at home all day is tough, in which case if this is you and you are keen to get up and out and into a group of local mummies, I welcome any mums feeling that way as early as you want. On the flip side, birth and newborn life is challenging, and it can feel different for everyone. If you’ve had a caesarean birth for example, then naturally you are unable to drive for the first 6 weeks, so should wait until you are able to if that’s how you plan on getting here. It’s also totally okay to take your time healing and be compassionate towards yourself and wait until you feel ready if that’s longer than you first thought. My classes will be here when you’re ready.

 

More often than not, mums tend to start between 4 weeks and 16 weeks however, as mentioned above, it’s okay if you are outside of those windows, by just a few weeks.

The only thing we need to be mindful of is, it isn’t suitable for babies who are on the move and hoping to get crawling imminently, because they will find it more distressing than relaxing being made to lay still for a massage when all they want to do is look around and explore.

What To Expect

A 6 week course which teaches you how to offer your baby a full body massage along with gentle Baby Yoga movements and stretches too. Each week we focus on a new part of the body and then recap what we learnt in previous weeks to get in all the practice with guidance, so you can then do it more at home. Frequent massage, stretches and stimulation is incredible for your baby’s nervous system & development. When practiced regularly you can improve your baby’s sleep, work wonders for wind or digestion issues and improve symptoms of colic.

So that’s the babies, now the Mums…

A big emphasis is put into the course structure to help all the Mums in the group gel & get to know each other, we don’t do awkward or scary cliques here! After the massage element is finished, there is additional time in the studio to enjoy tea and biscuits (provided in every class) together, because sometimes you just need to be able to sit and have a natter with other grown ups, even if that is still just all about your gorgeous baby. A group whatsapp chat is set up just before the course begins so that all the support and socialising can move further than just in class. 

​

Look forward to your mum and baby group every week and start making friends that last not just in the studio but throughout your journey of Motherhood.
