Baby Massage is great fun for both you and your baby. The cost of £40 includes your baby massage oil, your information booklet and refreshments.
Benefits include:
1. Learning to communicate and build a close relationship with your baby. All new relationships benefit from a little time together and this can become a time your both look forward to.
2. Massage can really help with colic and infant stresses such as teething it can also promote improved sleep pattern.
3. Premature babies have been shown to gain weight much more quickly when having massage than those babies who didn't receive massage.
4.Massage increases body awareness and this can enhance development and improve muscle tone. Techniques you will learn can aid digestion and can help with constipation.
5.The classes are a time to meet other mums, share information and experiences in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. I have small numbers in the classes so you can have plenty of time to learn techniques from me and also it maintains a calm and relaxing atmosphere for you to learn in.
**NEW**
6. The Baby Yoga option and Music and movement classes will be an add on option available from July 2010, these are an extra four classes during which we learn some rhymes and movements which enhance development and communication with your baby. You will benefit from some basic yoga stretches suitable for postnatal mums and your baby will do some exercises with you, fun for all. These classes build on what you have learned from the baby massage classes.
If you have done one of my sets of baby massage classes then you are welcome to come and
join Baby Yoga and Rhythmn kids classes as they build on what you have already been doing.
Baby Massage classes just for you and your baby, one to one.
These classes can be arranged on an individual basis, just contact me to enquire. Cost is £34 per class and two classes would need to be booked, you learn the routine in the first one and refresh it in the second class.

Pregnancy Massage
I am trained specifically in Pregnancy Massage,I have trained extensively since 2000 and aim to give you a treatment that is both beneficial and the best that I can offer. I use both Eastern and Western massage techniques aiming to give you the benefit of an advanced style of massage.
During pregnancy it is important to have appropriate techniques to massage the changing body.
Using massage techniques which are both relaxing and good for the aches and pains of pregnancy. I have clients mainly lying on their sides, in this position I can easily reach tight neck and shoulder muscles and also the hips and lower back which at times can become rather uncomfortable.
A relaxed and pain free mum means a more relaxed baby- so it has to be good for you.
Maternity Reflexolgy
Nurturing both you and your baby, I use specific techniques which have been evolved to really benefit you and your health.
These include lymphatic drainage- good for swollen ankles
Acupressure treatment for SPD- symphsis pubis problems or sciatica.
Calming and balancing techniques which benefit both you and baby.
Regular reflexology in Pregnancy has been shown in various studies both here and in Canada to reduce the length of labour and can also help with specific problems such as pelvic pain and low back pain.
Homeopathic care:
I do recommend remedies where appropriate and especially before, during and after labour. If you have underlying health issues, or emotional stresses, pregnancy is an important time to get treatment that will benefit both you and your baby.
