Class or Workshop Description

Nurturing Buds - Baby Massage is a special and gentle first class for you and your baby. Over the term you will learn how to use baby massage and movement to aid calming, soothing, and connection with your baby. As well as postnatal movements to aid Mum's recovery. Baby Massage is such a lovely activity to enjoy with your baby, as it has lots of benefits for both of you. Some of the known benefits include: • Helps with digestive issues, such as wind and constipation • Promotes bonding and helps you to understand your baby’s cues • Aids calming • Encourages sleep • Eases the symptoms of colic 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. In each class you can expect: • Baby massage and yoga routines • Gentle yoga-based movement for your postnatal recovery • Infant education and support • Calming and soothing methods – tried and tested techniques that actually work! • Small class sizes, which are age-appropriate • Meet other new mums at the same stage – build that vital support network The important bits about your class: Nurturing Buds Baby Massage classes are for postnatal mums and baby only. Suitable from around 5/6 weeks after birth (please do get in touch if you would like to start earlier) until 5 months (at the start of the term). Classes are adapted to suit all postnatal-related conditions, multiple births, and individual needs. If your baby is older than 5 months take a look at our Nurturing Blossoms - Baby Yoga class. Classes are booked in blocks of 5/6 weeks at a time however, they are designed to carry you through from Nurturing Buds to Nurturing Blossoms and to Nurturing Blooms (coming in 2024) until baby is around 18 months, therefore supporting you along the journey of early parenthood.
