This course is open to both moms & dads ands covers the following:
· Using oils on the newborn
· Massaging your baby safely
· Contra-indications to massage
· Coping with common ailments ie. colic, constipation
· Stretching & toning exercises for baby
Baby massage has proved to be a practical solution and trough massaging their babies regularly parents gain confidence and form a positive bond between themselves and their child. Thus children are happier, more self-assured, calmer, cry less and sleep better.
What to expect
Classes are one week apart for 4 weeks
1st week – front of the body
2nd week – back of the body
3rd week – Face & head
4th week easing common problems and stretching exercises
The courses are held at your house.
Once we are all settled, I will explain about the type of massage I will be teaching you and the benefits, among other little antidotes about oils for skin care and promoting their development and you will have an opportunity to ask any questions.
What you'll need
Each mom will need to supply a changing mat, large towel or blanket and a spare nappy! I supply all the oils and handouts with pictures and written instruction on the routine to help you remember once you are both back at home.
