HAZEL MEYER

Helping dads support their baby's development through massage, movement and play.

You'll also gain practical ideas to continue at home, helping you feel more confident supporting your baby's development through everyday interactions.

No previous experience is needed.

Led by Hazel, who is a qualified developmental massage instructor, lactation consultant, sleep coach and postnatal doula, these sessions go far beyond simple massage techniques. You’ll learn how purposeful, responsive touch can:

• Support early motor development
• Ease digestive discomfort
• Encourage nervous system regulation
• Deepen connection and communication
• Complement feeding and sleep patterns

Suitable for babies from 12 weeks to 6 months but we are happy to accommodate younger babies

PLEASE NOTE THIS CLASS IS ONLY FOR DADS THAT LIVE WITHIN THE ROYAL BOROUGH OF KENSINGTON AND CHELSEA

Babies go through a series of natural movement stages as they grow - things like pushing, rolling, sitting, crawling, and eventually walking. These stages don’t just help with movement; they also help your baby’s nervous system learn how to settle, breathe, and feel safe in their body.

When babies are gently supported and not rushed, their bodies learn how to relax and use effort more easily. Every baby develops in their own time, and there’s no need to push them into positions before they’re ready.

This 5-Week Developmental Massage Course is based on Peter Walker’s Developmental & Attachment-Informed Bodywork who has pioneered the practice of Developmental Baby Massage for babies and children from the 1980s onwards.

What we will focus on during this course is creating the right conditions - so your baby can do what their body is already trying to do. This helps build confidence, comfort, and ease in movement now and as they grow

Please note if your partners are also welcome to I attend the session or to be close by if they want to be available to feed their baby
