Baby Massage

Due to my starting of midwifery training, I am no longer able to offer Baby Massage classes myself, but I am happy to recommend the classes run by my good friend Lindsay Renwick.

While these classes are mainly Baby Massage, there is a lot of time and emphasis given over to mothers talking. I look on them as a post natal support group with baby massage; a chance to make friends, meet and share this intense time of life. In addition to the massage skills you will learn, there is also an excellent opportunity for you to make strong friendships with other mothers who are at the same stage with their babies. The groups are 'closed' once they start, and so provide a safe environment to discuss any anxieties you may be feeling. Many mothers find this group has led to safe, strong friendships - some groups from the massage classes are still meeting regularly years later!


Baby Massage is a wonderful way for mothers and babies to form powerful bonds in your first few months together. During this course of four sessions you will discover simple routines that will help you to nurture your baby through the crucial first months of development. It can be used to:

• build a loving bond with your baby

• soothe and comfort a fractious child

• promote relaxation and confidence

• strengthen the cardiovascular and immune systems

• aid digestion

• improve co-ordination and posture

• help you child maintain flexibility as he or she becomes more mobile

• increase the health and vitality of children with special needs

The courses run for four consecutive weeks on Tuesdays from 12.30 - 2.00pm. at Manvers Street (see map here) and costs £30 for all four sessions.
