From 5 weeks to 6 months old.
A gentle and empowering weekly class for mums and baby
from 5 weeks old to 6 months old.
When it comes to the fourth trimester, those early days and weeks of motherhood, any number of emotions can overwhelm us, such as joy, anxiety, delight, fatigue, happiness, uncertainty, isolation or even low mood or challenging feelings.
Nurturing Buds - Baby Massage provides a supportive and nurturing space, where you can connect with other local mums.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
In our Nurturing Buds – Baby Massage classes you will learn the wonderful skill of how to use baby massage and movement to aid calming, soothing and connection with your baby. As well as postnatal movement to aid mums’ recovery and we always finish with some time to relax.
Being a new mum is amazing but can also be a little scary and overwhelming at times. You may find that you doubt yourself, or question if you are doing it right. Being around other mums at the same stage as you, whilst learning invaluable tools to support you through the early weeks and months, is exactly what Nurturing Buds - Baby Massage is all about. Supporting you through this special time, as you adjust to life with a newborn.
My classes are small, relaxed and welcoming. And whilst the star of the show is of course your little one, we also take time to focus on you and your postnatal recovery. I use my knowledge and experience to help you navigate the first months of being a new parent. Baby Massage is such a lovely activity to enjoy with your baby as well as having lots of benefits for both of you.
