What to expect

I am currently offering one to one baby massage sessions in the comfort of your own home. Having trained with To Baby and Beyond I am certified to guide parents and carers in using various massage strokes on their baby.

Benefits of baby massage:

Regular baby massage of just ten minute sessions can really help build a confident parent-baby relationship. It is very relaxing for babies and it helps heal certain ailments as well.

Massage can help soothe unsettled babies suffering with trapped wind, constipation and colic, and promotes better sleep quality. It can help strengthen muscle tone and alleviate certain skin conditions.

It also helps to strengthen baby's digestive and respiratory systems and stimulare the circulatory and nervous systems. It is a way of learning and practising loving touch, and helps parents become more aware of their baby's body.

Baby massage is particularly beneficial for premature babies and those with additional needs, encouraging deeper sleep, stimulating growth, promoting relaxation, and helping them to tolerate positive touch.

My baby massage classes are for babies aged six weeks to crawling. I do not charge more for twins.

If you're able to gather a small group of friends locally, I offer a reduced per-family rate as travel and setup are shared.

One to one sessions

With Ginny

One to one sessions take place in the comfort of your own home, without having to rush to make it to class on time. You will be able to ask questions, take things at your own pace, and bond with your baby while learning something new!

A whole course with me consists of three sessions where you will learn massage strokes from baby's head to their toes. Each session will go over what you have previously learned and we will add new strokes as we go.

My sessions are very informal and completely baby led - as a postnatal doula I know exactly what it is like to have a newborn and so we work around you and your baby, going at your pace and stopping as and when we need to for feeds, cuddles and changing nappies.

Depending on availability, the sessions can be once a week or all taken in one week. Each session is 45 -60 minutes in length.

The cost of a one to one baby massage course is £110.
