Janine is really pleased to offer Baby Massage and Pregnancy massage for Mums and Mums (or Dads) -to-be. Janine is a Mum herself, and an experienced pregnancy massage therapist.
Baby massage is offered as Individual one-to-one instruction and you will learn to do a full body massage on your baby and baby reflexology techniques. Baby massage will help to soothe and relax your baby and help you deal naturally with a number of conditions such as colic, constipation, teething, eczema and poor sleep patterns.
Other benefits of baby massage include:
- Encouraging the bonding process
- Calming and relaxing for both baby and Mum (or Dad)
- Improving the flow of oxygen and nutrients around the body and developing the central nervous system
- Helping prepare baby’s muscles for crawling and mobilising joints
- Strengthening all body systems
- Nourishing the skin and aiding skin complaints through the use of pure organic sunflower oil
To attend Baby Massage, babies should be at least 6-8 weeks old, have had their 6-8 week check and have no medical conditions where it would be inadvisable to massage such as infection, high temperature or a recent fracture. Babies can attend Baby Massage classes up to pre-toddling stage – however it is advisable to do it before they get too mobile at around 6 months. Please also make sure that 72 hours has passed after any immunisations.
If your baby is 6 months – 18 months and you would like to learn about baby/infant massage, please do get in touch to discuss one-to-one sessions that are adapted to your needs.
