Baby Massage Workshop

Baby massage is relaxing for you and your baby and a great way for you both to get to know each other better. But it is more than just a pleasurable experience – evidence shows that loving, touching, nurturing contact has a significant positive impact on the child’s subsequent development.

Suitable for babies aged as young as 4 weeks, during this course you will learn massage techniques that will give enormous benefits to both you and your baby. These include strengthening your baby’s immune system, relieving the symptoms of colic, constipation and reflux, and helping establish better sleeping patterns. Evidence also points to baby massage helping with signs of post-natal depression. The full range of benefits can be found on the “Benefits” tab.

Courses can be tailored – both one-to-one as well as group sessions are available. They can take place in your own home, in Sérénité’s peaceful treatment room in Sibford Gower, or at the Banbury Counselling Centre. The group courses are kept to a maximum of 6 babies.

One-to-one courses can be conducted as one long session, although we recommend a course of two 45 minute sessions with time in between to practice.

There are different options for group sessions – a course of three 1 hour sessions or a course of four 1 hour sessions and this includes a back massage for the mum or dad (the timing of this last session will depend on how many people are in the group). A popular option is for you to form a group (eg friends or NCT classes etc) which would mean a reduction in price.

Dates

These are the group course start dates and most sessions will be a week apart. (Please call to organise tailored one-to-one and group sessions with different dates).
