Infant Massage Course
Baby massage is an age old tradition brought to the west thirty years ago by Vimala Mc Clure who set up the International Association of Infant Massage. It combines Indian Massage, Swedish Massage, Reflexology and Yoga in a simple but effective routine parents can do every day with their baby. Benefits for baby include better sleep, less colic, relaxation, stress relief,improved bonding, better skin condition and better muscle tone. Parents will also benefit from stress relief by massaging their babies and learn techniques to soothe their little ones. You can also enjoy meeting up with a friendly and relaxed group every week.
I am a certified infant massage instructor with I.A.I.M with many years experience of working with mums and dads. Groups are welcomed to my house with their babies and are able to enjoy a special time with their baby and to socialise with the rest of the group, all of which can improve bonding for parent and baby and provide much needed postnatal support.
During a five week course parents will learn to understand their babies better, practice the strokes involved in the baby massage routine and find ways to relax and enjoy their baby. The babies can be any age between 0 and 1 and all babies will benefit from the experience of being touched with love. Groups will be small with no more then five babies in a session and each 90 minute class will include a tea break and the chance for informal discussion.
Oil, mats and refreshments are included, please dress comfortably and bring a towel or blanket for your baby.
Classes are held at my home in Loughton which is accessible by tube or bus and has plenty of free parking outside.
