The course price varies, click HERE for more details. Baby Buds courses includes a pot of completely gorgeous Kokoso organic coconut oil (worth £5.50 and it should last the entire course and beyond) , detailed course notes with diagrams, instructions, songs and refreshments. I provide mats and for your baby to lie on but do feel free to bring your own if you prefer!

The course is run over 5 weeks, each week we massage on one or two areas of the body and gradually introduce new strokes. As babies are used to having their legs touched from nappy changing, we begin with the legs and feet on the first week. We then work our way up tummy, chest, arms, face and back. We go over the sequences each week so don’t worry if you miss anything. You are also given a comprehensive instruction booklet. One of the things I do in the class is give you the tools and techniques to use at home with baby. There are songs and rhymes to some of the sequences which the babies love and don’t worry I do most of the singing (move over Adele!)…so there is no pressure for you join in unless you want to.
We always have lots of time to chat, talk over worries and enjoy a lovely cuppa and treat!

This is a rolling course so you can come along as many times as you like! Minimum block booking is for 5 classes.
It consists of lots of songs and rhymes, massage and yoga, swings and dips which both you and baby are going to LOVE! It is so much fun.
We mostly do the same songs. This is because babies love the repetition. It really helps them to develop their communication skills. Don't worry though, we have a lovely new song each week and incorporate some wonderful sensory play into the sessions too.

Babies really are the ones who run the class and do cry, fall asleep and need their nappy changed and it is perfectly OK! You will not miss anything as we recap the sequences each week. Massage should not be performed on a baby that’s crying, you can comfort, feed, walk around with your baby if they’re upset. Once they have settled and have given you the happy baby cues, you can continue.
If baby is asleep I would suggest you do not wake them up. We don’t practice massage on a sleeping baby. There is normally an additional demonstration doll you can use to practice on until baby wakes. There are also comprehensives notes given out too so you to use the techniques at home.

You can read some of the benefits of Baby massage HERE. It is much more than just a class though. It is a way of communicating with baby through the senses of smell, touch, sight and sound and also oxytocin, the love hormone. You will be taught an easy routine that you can literally take anywhere. My classes are also a great opportunity to meet other new parents, to share in the experience of having children and find some new friends!
