Blissful Bebe Massage Course (IAIM)

This gold standard International Association of Infant Massage course runs over 6 sessions and is suitable for all babies from birth to one year (twins welcome). We cover full-body massage strokes, a colic/gas routine and an introduction to Story Massage and Baby Yoga (both separate courses available with Blissful Bebe, please see below). You are rewarded with the benefits of massage in helping your baby with digestion, stimulating their systems, relieving pains, promoting relaxation and sleep as well as deepening your bond with each other. This course teaches you a lifetime parenting skill that empowers you as parents to listen to your children, to respond lovingly and to connect deeply through nurturing touch. This course also includes time to share and really get to know other parents as we discuss which oils to use or avoid, why consent matters, baby’s cues and reflexes, how babies communicate and techniques to help soothe them as well as adaptations for as they grow. My focus is on the parents as well as the babies – this IAIM course is much more than massage strokes and research has shown this is what makes it so effective. The course includes a colour booklet containing all massage strokes, a bottle of organic oil and refreshments every week. Join us in the circle to focus on your baby and nourish yourself.

Price: £72 per family for 6 week baby massage course

As with Blissful Bebe Massage, this course offers you a beautiful chance to bond with your baby and spend quality time doing something that is both for you and for your baby. It is a lovely way to make new mum friends too as everyone relaxes together in this  space. Join us in the circle to focus on your breath, your body and your baby.
