CALM PARENTS AND BABIES

Come and join our IAIM workshops in Chester and learn all about massage strokes, baby cues, behavioural states and the numerous benefits of nurturing touch for babies and parents. These workshops are open to parents and babies up to 12 months old. They are a great way to have fun, learn a new skill in a friendly, relaxed environment, meet other parents and babies, enjoy refreshments, time to chat and ask questions. A bottle of oil and booklet is provided to support you to be able to continue practising your massage strokes between sessions. The five week course begins by exploring positions for massage, types of oils, baby behavioural states and continues week by week teaching massage of the legs, stomach, chest, arms, face and back. There will be opportunity to reflect on how massage is going at home and to learn about baby cues, coping with crying, colic relief, the benefits of baby massage, gentle exercises and rhymes, and how to adapt massage for the older child.

This is a fantastic opportunity to meet other parents and learn baby massage techniques from an experienced Certified Infant Massage Instructor who has 40 years of experience supporting parents in the NHS as a Nurse, Midwife and Health Visitor. I also offer one to one sessions in your own home for those that prefer this format to a group setting.
