Customer Testimonials on our Baby Massage Classes
This course was brilliant! After a different baby massage class I had attended, Catherine was far more knowledgeable and personable than the other class (which was way more expensive!) Catherine’s class was welcoming, there plenty of space in the room, the temperature of the room was perfect for babies and there was time to catch up and chat at the end (for a new mum this is sometimes a necessity). Catherine gave us advice on not only massage, but general ‘new mum’ questions we had, and I felt really comfortable asking her for help and advice. I would highly recommend this course; lovely bonding with your baby and skills to use forever! Thanks Catherine, you’re great.
I have just completed Catherine’s 5 week course of baby massage and I couldn’t recommend it enough! Catherine made us both feel so comfortable, which as a father I really appreciated, and it was a lovely bonding experience! Arthur particularly loves the “tiger in the tree” hold which I use everyday! Thanks Catherine!
AMAZING CLASS! I highly recommend Catherine and Loving Baby Massage to everyone with a baby! Catherine is very knowledgable and skilled as well as being incredibly kind and calming- for parents and babies alike! Her course of baby massage is very well taught, by the end of the classes I felt very confident with all of the techniques shown. I have also picked up so many tips on how to manage reflux, wind etc which I use on a daily basis. Baby massage is a lovely skill to learn, it has strengthened my bond with my baby and I am sure it is something that we will continue to do together as he loves it so much! Thank you Catherine x
Just finished the five week course with Catherine and me and my son Isaac have loved it. Catherine is a great teacher who really knows her subject. It’s a great bonding experience with your baby and massage can also help with colic and digestive complaints as well as promoting good sleep. There is also lots of lovely chat with the other mummies and time to talk hints, tips and recommendations. Highly recommended
Finished our 5 week course today and we are very sad we won’t be back next week. The course has been great for both mummy and baby. I have learned a skill to use as he grows and he has loved the experience of massage. Catherine is a fantastic teacher and made the group enjoyable and relaxed each week. Thank you.
Catherine has taken us and our babies on an amazing journey over the last 5 weeks. The techniques I’ve learnt have not just helped our babies relax and be more in tune with their bodies but have also given us something we can use to bond now and in future years! Many thanks
Absolutely loved the 5 week baby massage course at Horsforth Children’s Centre, small classes allow for individual attention and chance to ask lots of questions/advice. Tutor very approachable and informative.
Thank you Catherine for such a fantastic class! Baby Ammara and I enjoyed attending every Monday,learning new techniques and sharing ideas with the other friendly mums as well. Will miss our Monday routine
Absolutely lovely class. Great techniques learnt. Catherine is lovely and supportive. Thanks for a lovely course.
Alice and I loved our baby massage course. Catherine was a great teacher- really friendly and explained everything very clearly.
Catherine’s classes are fab. I loved how calming, informative and patient she was. Feels like genuine quality time with your baby. We’ll miss our Monday class now our course is over!
Just finished our 5 week course. Was amazing!! Have learned so much and love doing baby massage every day after bath time. I would highly recommend this class, really sad it’s finished
I was so sad to finish the five-week Loving Baby Massage at Headingley Children’s Centre today. It is such a lovely course and Catherine is a brilliant instructor. My baby has really enjoyed the massage techniques that I have learned along the way, and I will definitely continue to use my newfound skills!
Amazing class! My little girl absolutely loved it and so did I! Learned a lot of skills that I can now use at home with my daughter. Warm and really friendly atmosphere. If I could I would do it every week! Thank you Catherine
Great course, really enjoyed every single session. Catherine shares great massage techniques, shares lots of great ideas for the babies and she is absolutely lovely! It was also great to meet other mums who are going through similar situations with their babies and share ideas & knowledge. Thanks very much Catherine! Thank you so much from me and Robbie, my husband, who was welcome to join as a dad!
Great way to bond with your baby and find out new ways to communicate with him/her!
Wonderful time for mother and baby, calm atmosphere. My baby sleeps much better after the massage
Fantastic 5 week course, really enjoyed it with Penelope. Thanks Catherine
Gutted to have finished our 5 week course at horsforth children’s centre, it’s been the highlight of our week and I would recommend to anyone! I will definitely be using the new skills I’ve learned to keep massaging my baby, as she loves the touch and attention so much. Thank you Catherine for a fantastic class with friendly group chats with other new mums
We just finished a 5 week course with Catherine and it was fantastic. Catherine was a great teacher, and the classes have been relaxed and fun. The massage has been a lovely skill to learn and practice in the class, but also to share at home and it really helps our baby relax before bedtime

Just finished the course at Roundhay! Really sad as we both really enjoyed it. Learnt loads of wonderful techniques to help with colic and relaxation. Highly recommend xxx
My 24 weeks old daughter Elia and I have just finished 5 weeks of baby massage with Catherine. We loved every minute and are so sad the course has come to an end. We are even thinking about doing it again!
The massage techniques have helped both Elia and I. I now know her body in a way that I didn’t before and now know how to help her relax. It’s a great way to bond and spend time together and we would recommend it to anyone, especially Catherine’s class. She is such a good teacher- a great explainer, a very good listener, kind and friendly, and fun. Thank you Catherine xxx
I’ve just finished a 5 week course with Catherine in Horsforth. I would highly recommend this course. Catherine is lovely and it’s a fab way to spend some dedicated one on one time with your baby. I really enjoyed going and it was brilliant to have something planned in to look forward to each week. Sitting around chatting at the end was an added bonus to learning the massage techniques. This was my first baby class and I was initially quite nervous but it was so friendly and I genuinely enjoyed being there. Thank you Catherine for being so welcoming xx
‘Just finished a 5 week course with Catherine and loved it! Me and isla looked forward to it every week and it’s now a life skill I have learnt. It helped so much with her colic and a massage at night really calms her down ready for bed. Catherine makes everyone feel really welcome and is lovely to chat to. Gutted it’s over! Xx’
Alison
‘This was a great course to do with my newborn, Catherine was great. My baby loves it so we’ve continued with the massages after bathtime! I’d definitely recommend it!’
Helen
‘A friend invited me to join her on a baby massage course and I thought it would be a nice thing to do so agreed. I didn’t realise how valuable it would be! My baby has been suffering from colic and I found massage really helped. Got some great handouts and ideas about how to keep massage going as my baby grows. Highly recommended’.
Roxy
‘This course was the first I did with my new daughter and absolutely loved it. Catherine is lovely and puts you totally at ease. A great first class to help you bond with your baby and get to know them’.

‘We’ve just finished a 5 week course at Alwoodley centre with Catherine. We throughly enjoyed it. It helped bond with my baby and help with her digestive issues.

Emma, November 2016

Catherine is really welcoming and full of useful baby tips’ xx
Kath, October 2016
‘Loved Catherine’s baby massage classes! I will carry on massaging my little boy Freddie who enjoyed it all! Catherine makes you feel very relaxed and at ease. She is always flexible if your a few mins late or need to change class for any reason which u did. Thanks again Charlotte and Freddie’ xx
Charlotte, October 2016
‘We had a great time at baby massage with Catherine, an excellent teacher with lots of great tips for making massage fun and relaxing at the same time. Thea really enjoyed it, and we will be continuing to practice what we’ve learnt’
Heledd, October 2016
‘Can’t recommend baby massage and Catherine’s classes enough. Although Faith didn’t participate fully (sleeping though half of one class and crying during another) the skills we’ve learnt have been really useful at home in calming, bonding and helping a windy baby become less windy. I also enjoyed being reminded of old children’s songs long forgotten and hanging out with other parents of similar aged children and realising we are all doing a pretty damn good job, and that every baby cries, giggles and it’s fairly unpredictable! Catherine was lovely and helpful and offered really great advice, far beyond the barriers of massage! Thank you Catherine for all of your help, advice and support!
Rachel, July 2016
‘Thoroughly enjoyed our classes with Catherine which have sadly just finished. Has brought home the importance of touch and was a lovely bonding experience for me and my son. We will continue what we’ve learnt into the following months and years. Classes are taken at a gentle pace and Catherine has a lovely way of teaching. Thank you!’
Katie, June 2016
‘Fantastic class, out of all the baby classes I have done I found this to be the most enjoyable. I discovered a lot about my baby and enjoyed actually ‘learning’ something. Lovely venue (chapel allerton) and very friendly instructor. Thank you’
Kel, June 2016
‘Absolutely fabulous! Oliver and I have completely loved our baby massage sessions with Catherine, they have been a highlight of our week.
Oliver certainly enjoys being massaged and we relish the quiet time together. He is my third baby and this is the third time I’ve done the course, I would highly recommend it. It’s relaxed, friendly and completely baby led (in that the bubbas can feed/sleep/cry/be danced around as they please) so there’s no pressure on the mummies to keep their little ones still and quiet.
Thank-you Catherine, you make the course, you’re great!’
Sarah, May 2016
‘Catherine was a fantastic teacher and my daughter loved the massage’.
Elizabeth, May 2016
‘Great course, my little boy and I very much enjoyed attending. Catherine created a very relaxed environment and classes were very much baby led. Thank you’.
Claire, May 2016
‘Just had our last class with Catherine today at Horsforth Children’s centre. I did the course 3 years ago with my son and liked it so much I returned with my daughter. It provides one to one time with baby which deepens bonds and relaxes mum, too. Laurel loved meeting the other babies and the calm and gentle atmosphere really helped her chill out! Catherine is a great teacher. She really gets to know the mums and babies and what they need, and her explanations and demonstrations are easy to follow. She also provides lots of useful tips on development, settling baby and additional massage routines. We are sad to see the course end but will be continuing with our massages at home! Highly recommended. Thank you Catherine!’
Meaghan, May 2016
‘Camille and I loved our baby massage course. It was a small, gentle and intimate environment where I really enjoyed spending 1-1 time with my baby. I loved Catherine’s calm and caring approach and it felt like she knew all of our babies and what they liked by the end of our 5 weeks. The cookies and juice were a lovely treat to end each session! I learnt lots of strokes and the winding routine has been really useful when baby has been uncomfortable. Fingers crossed to see a video of ideas for massage as baby gets older – songs and games to play, I couldn’t take in Catherine’s bank of knowledge in one go! Absolutely brilliant and sad it is finished! We will certainly be continuing massage most days at home!’
Sarah, May 2016
‘Myself and my son have just finished our course with Catherine. Throughly enjoyed it and learnt so much. Catherine is a really good teacher who is warm and friendly. Further is a very good listener. I would recommend this course as my son has benefitted from it. I will be doing this course again when I have my next child. Thank you again Catherine and also for the biscuits/cakes you give us after the session’.
Kiren, March 2016
‘Lovely course – I massage my baby as often as I can using what I learnt and he loves it. It’s relaxing for us both’.
Lucy, February 2016
‘My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Not only did we find the course relaxing (my baby fell asleep so quickly after each session!), we learnt some great techniques for dealing with wind and colic. The course also teaches you about your baby’s mood state (cues to look out for) which I’ve found particularly useful at home. Catherine is lovely and made everyone feel welcome. Whilst I was worried that my baby would cry during the session, Catherine made me feel totally at ease that we could stop at any time and soothe/feed. All in all, a fab course that I’d highly recommend’.
Karen, January 2016

‘My daughter and I LOVED this baby massage class. It was relaxed, friendly, and taught me loads. Darcey is now a more relaxed baby. Thanks Catherine!’
Emily, December 2015
‘Really enjoyed the course. I was a bit nervous before going along as I wondered if it would be quite serious and I wasn’t sure what would happen if my baby didn’t want to participate. However, Catherine put us all at ease and created a very relaxed atmosphere. The course was completely baby led and it didn’t matter at all if my little boy wanted to feed or just sit out for a bit. It’s also more than just a 4 week course as I have learnt massage techniques I will hopefully use for a long time to come. Thank you!’
Aiveen, December 2015
‘We loved learning something different each week and all the info sheets we get to take home to practice in between classes are really useful. I reap the benefits afterwards when my baby has a long nap!’
Tory, October 2015

‘Lily and I have thoroughly enjoyed the baby massage course. Our teacher Catherine was friendly, down to earth, and professional. The venue was accessible, easy to find, and the room was lovely & cosy for my baby. The massage techniques were easy to remember, and each session was baby-led in a calm and relaxing environment. We were also able to socialise with other new mums and babies and share tips and advice. We have learnt so much and the bond between me and my baby has been strengthened even more through massage. I cannot recommend Catherine and the course highly enough. It was reasonably priced and worth every penny spent’.
