Baby Massage 2 Week Course

A two-week baby massage course for parents and carers with babies from 6 weeks to crawling, taught by certified therapist Alexa Dean.

This two-session course teaches developmental baby massage techniques aimed at relaxing the baby's diaphragm for better breathing, bringing flexibility to hips and shoulders, and strengthening back, arms and legs in preparation for sitting and standing. Sessions run for one hour each and take place in a relaxed, playful atmosphere where parents or carers can focus fully on their baby. The course covers benefits such as relieving wind, colic and constipation, encouraging deeper sleep, reducing crying and strengthening parent-baby communication. Participants should bring a towel or blanket, their own massage oil (organic virgin coconut oil recommended), and optionally a teddy or doll to practise on if the baby sleeps.
