Craniosacral & Massage Therapy for babies and children

Baby Massage Classes

Baby massage is a fun and healthy way of connecting and bonding with your baby.

There is much research on the positive effects of baby massage, please visit the LINKS page for further information.

How would it help my baby?

Babies love being massaged, though they will let you know if now is not the time! Sometimes first thing in the morning or after an evening bath.

Baby massage encourages confidence, positive body image and awareness. Different strokes can help your baby fall asleep and relieve colic. It is also a gentle way to welcome your baby to the world, soothing any shock and pain from a difficult birth and helping them to assimilate and orientate to their new environment.

Course Information

A course of 4-5 (depending on class size) 60-minute lessons. You will learn how to give your baby a full body massage and extra routines for colic and helping them get to sleep. Each class concentrates on a different part of the body.

Emphasis is placed on having fun and learning for the care giver in a supportive and relaxed environment. Spending time with other care givers where stories can be shared.

Babies and infants of any age are welcome in the classes. Even if you are not able to take part in the practical part of the lesson notes are provided to take away so you can practice at home.

All babies and carers are welcome

Don't hesitate to contact me to arrange for a course if there are a number of you interested in classes, or for more information.

 

Craniosacral Therapy

Can it help me or my baby/child?

Craniosacral therapy is so gentle that it is suitable for very small babies and children. Treatment can aid almost any condition, raising vitality and improving the body's capacity for self-repair. The baby or child feels peaceful and soft.

 

What happens during a treatment?

During the first consultation, a full medical history is taken and we can discuss details of your current circumstances.

Any tension or asymetries in the body can be addressed, along with sleep or feeding issues. Often, parents like to get their new baby checked over for peace of mind... and the hope a good nights sleep may follow.

1/2 hour and 1 hour treatments are available.

 

Baby massage is often taught to parents who bring their baby for craniosacral therapy. It promotes the treatment and, as well as the benefilts of baby massage, the parents feel like they can do something themselves to help their child.
