Baby Massage
These lovely nourishing and nurturing classes blend baby massage techniques and acupressure points along with fun interactive movements that support your baby; supporting you and your baby with specific conditions and helping you to gently bond with each other.
Baby massage fosters mutual trust, understanding & develops your confidence with your baby.
Baby massage is the art of massaging an infant using gentle strokes to induce sleep, increase bonding and improve your baby’s immune system, their circulation and gently stimulating their digestive system.
Benefits of baby massage are:
* Soothes & helps relax the baby
* Helps with colic, digestion, constipation, jaundice, teething
* Assists growth & development
* Improves baby’s blood circulation, lymph flow, muscle tone, posture
* Perhaps encourages a longer, deeper sleep
* Parents learn to read their babies’ cues & behaviour
* Creates a special bond with your baby
* Helps to reduce stress
* If there is ‘post-natal depression the warm touch comforts & helps to re-build self-esteem
It is the perfect preparation for co-ordinated movement & mobility, setting your baby on their feet with ‘perfect posture’ both sitting & standing, with strength & flexibility in all the right places. Baby massage is a natural response to your baby’s inherent need for tactile stimulation and can support various ailments from poor appetite, tummy concerns, bowel movements, sleep, congestion etc
Suitable for babies from 4 weeks postnatally.
A 2006 overview by Liddle et al. of studies looking at the effects of massage on the babies of depressed mothers found that massage therapy had positive effects on both the mother and the infants.

MORE INFORMATION
I love Claires classes, I started at 14 weeks pregnant and despite having a fear of giving birth I found myself relaxing and welcoming what was to come, I had a good labour and I put this down to Claire, someone I can trust. WWHB is even better, we do a little baby massage, baby yoga, sensory which all the mummies love, mummy yoga, and finished with tea and cake. My favourite day of the week.
