Baby massage, what is it?

 

 

Baby massage classes run for 5 sessions on a weekly basis, lasting one hour per session. 

The courses are held in local community halls in small groups in Glasgow. I am also able to give one to one tuition at your home before your baby is born, or once your baby has been born.  

During the course parents/carers will be taught a specific baby massage routine which was first introduced in 1976 by the founder of the International Association of Infant Massage, Vimala McClure. This routine incorporates Swedish Massage, Indian Massage, Reflexology and principles of yoga.

As well as the baby massage routine, you will also be taught a specific technique to reduce the symptoms of Colic and some simple gentle movements which help promote coordination and balance.

During the sessions there is also time to meet other parents and talk about specific issues related to parenting.

At the end of each session you will be provided handouts on the specific strokes learned during the session.

I like to encourage fathers as well as mothers to attend. There are also great benefits for foster and adoptive parents.

Please contact me if you have any queries.
