Baby Massage Workshops:
For parents & caregivers of babies (1 month old to pre-crawling age). This is a group class (max 10 babies).
Bond with your baby, while learning some great massage techniques. Benefits from Infant Massage include better sleep, digestion and improved immune function. You will learn a massage sequence for the legs, tummy, chest, arms, face and back, a special colic routine and some simple baby stretches and movements. You will also learn what oils to use & how to create a suitable environment, follow your baby’s cues, massage safely and adapt the massage as your baby grows. You will be the only one massaging your baby – the instructor uses a demonstration doll.
Note: If your baby was premature, or has any other special requirements, please let us know at the time of booking. Also, twins are welcome to join the Neomama Baby Massage Workshop! One set of twins per course can be accomodated at no extra charge. As well a helper may accompany you to this course.
Bring: All you need to bring is a medium sized towel and a baby blanket… and of course your baby! Dress comfortably in layers (room is comfortably warm for babies receiving massage). Sample oils and hand outs provided.
