Book a nurturing baby massage class

Being massaged is food for the infant’ wrote the pioneer of Baby Massage, Dr F Leboyer, and he called it ‘love’. Science proves that babies are dependent on sensory input for their growth, development and well-being, and Nurturing Baby Massage provides precisely what is needed for both you and your baby from birth onwards.

The sessions include baby massage strokes developing week-by-week to a full body massage. Alongside the massage we integrate Yoga and movement to establish a connection between parent and baby, creating a safe haven in which trust can be nourished and strong bonds formed. To achieve this, we weave together a combination of loving touch, gentle postnatal exercises and relaxation. The livestream sessions will support you physically and emotionally in these precious weeks and months after the birth of your little one to help you gain confidence and strength.

Little babies will need to sleep, cuddle and feed, and all of this is welcome in our relaxed class. You can rest back and observe so you will take away ideas, movements, routines and songs to use in the early weeks with your new baby.

The Birthlight Nurturing Baby Massage kit will equip new parents with the skills to respond to their new baby in positive and enjoyable ways. It is the opportunity to develop the dialogue that nurtures the special mother-baby relationship. The practices support the mother in nurturing herself and your newborn in what can be a most wonderful time together.

In this challenging time, these early weeks and months can create a foundation that has far reaching beneficial effects for later life for parent and child. Birthlight’s attention to the early nurturing practices are invaluable in our current situation.
