The Natality Baby Massage class  is a four week developmental massage and movement course for mothers with babies from six weeks to nine months old.

Each week you practise a whole body massage routine which you can use all or part of at home on a regular basis. The course also covers gentle movements that you can use with baby to help him or her to aid their physical development and discover what fun it is to use their limbs!

Once you have massaged them, the babies often want a feed and mums want a drink so we have time to sit, feed, chat and make friends.  Its a lovely relaxing, friendly part of mums weeks and previous clients thoroughly recommend it.

"Jenny's classes are professional yet very relaxed.  She related the massage techniques very clearly and made learning fun.  I always left the classes as relaxed as my daughter did."  Karen, mum to Eden.

Mothers who massage their babies tend to be better bonded with their babies and they either don't develop postnatal depression or are quicker in recovery.  Massaged babies tend to have fewer episodes of colic and sleep better.

The massage routine you learn was developed by Peter Walker of the Active Birth Centre, a leading expert on infant massage and author of many books on the subject.  Jenny who leads the classes trained with Peter Walker 8 years ago, she is a mum of 4 and an experienced group trainer.
