Baby Massage Classes in Leeds

Loving Baby Massage courses are sociable, relaxed and fun. Classes are supportive and very much baby-led. Having a relaxed and informal environment is hugely important, meaning that all baby behaviour is welcome, no matter how unpredictable!

In classes, only you massage your baby whilst I demonstrate on my doll (Caitlyn). We ask permission from the babies to follow their cues. This helps to develop communication between you and your baby, as well as feelings such as trust and respect.

Pressure, rate, rhythm, the length of the massage, respect, bonding, why babies cry, babies’ body language, relaxation, and parent empowerment are some of the skills and topics you will learn on my course.

My classes offer a supportive group environment where parents can share their experiences and learn from each other while having fun. I welcome babies to be babies, so please do not be concerned about class times coinciding with sleep or feed times, or your baby crying.

My courses run for 5 weeks, each class lasts approximately one hour. You will be guided through a step by step massage routine in accordance with the International Association of Infant Massage which combines a balance of relaxing and stimulating massage, reflexology techniques together with principles of yoga movement.

Included is a 50ml bottle of organic fractionated coconut oil, along with a detailed handout booklet, a quick reference guide, and a weather massage leaflet. On completion of the course, each parent and baby is awarded a Certificate of Achievement. Definitely, something to be added to your baby’s keepsake box!

At the end of each class, there is time for you to socialise and get to know the other parents on the course.

NCT groups are welcome.

The recommended age for group classes is from birth to one (although it does get a bit tricky once baby is on the move!).

All equipment will be fully disinfected before each session.

Places are limited so have a look at our class offerings and book early to avoid disappointment.
