I have completed qualifications from the Infant Massage Information Service (IMIS)- a global Infant Massage body that is based in Australia. The IMIS is recognised in several countries as being leading authorities in Infant Massage technique and benefits and I am really pleased to be in a position now to pass on the knowledge and skills to parents!
Some questions I get on Infant massage are answered below. if you have any other questions, please email me any time.
It is a great way to bond with your baby- especially dads Sometimes Dad feels a bit left out when mum is breast feeding. Massage is a wonderful relaxing way to bond with baby and have something that is just for dad and baby.
Pain Relief
Infant massage is a great way to help baby through stages of colic and reflux as well as relieve constipation and wind pain. Providing simple and effective pain relief for baby. This means a much happier mummy and daddy too!
Relaxation
Infant Massage is a great way to relax your baby and you! It is amazing to see the changes in your little miracle as they respond to your touch.
When do we start Infant Massage on our baby?
You can start any time from birth!
Your baby is a sponge for new sensations and massaging baby will increase self awareness as you make bub aware of the different parts of their body. it increases circulation and gets everything moving in the body- fantastic for growing bodies!
Can I massage my toddler?
Yes! if you havent massaged your baby before, then start now! Massage is a great way to help toddlers calm down after a big, exciting day. It relaxes them when they are upset and it reinforces your love and admiration of them as there is nothig better than touch. just think, when your toddler scapes their knee or gets upset- what is the first thing they want from you- a snuggle!! In our Infant massage courses we teach massage techniques for older babies/ toddlers too!
The course runs over four weeks - what will we learn?
We cover a lot of massage techniques and theory in class. Each class is 45 minutes long. Think of it as dedicated YOU time each week as you learn these age old techniques and spend dedicated quality time with your partner and baby.
