Gentle baby massage classes

With over 15 years’ experience running a successful newborn photography studio, my assistant and I are delighted to also offer baby massage classes for new parents.

Classes run weekly for three consecutive weeks. Dates and times vary each month, so please get in touch for current availability.

Baby massage classes are suitable for babies from around 6 weeks old until they become more mobile (usually crawling age). During the sessions, we’ll cover gentle, full-body massage strokes, including the chest, tummy, legs, feet, arms, hands, back, face and head.

These sessions are also a lovely opportunity to meet other parents with babies of a similar age. Groups are kept small and friendly and take place in a cosy, welcoming room suitable for feeding, with time for a chat and refreshments afterwards.

Oil and towels are provided. Each session offers a calm hour away from daily stresses, giving you the chance to relax and enjoy quality one-to-one time with your baby.

If you have any questions or would like further information, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
