IAIM Baby Massage course
I am a qualified baby massage instructor with the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM) and host 5-week baby massage courses which follow the IAIM programme.
5-Week IAIM Baby Massage Course
The IAIM baby massage courses offer a wonderful opportunity for you to learn how to communicate with your baby through nurturing touch and massage in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
On an IAIM baby massage course you will learn:
Massage strokes
A short colic routine
Gentle movements and touch relaxation
How to identify the best time for massage
What massage oils to use
How to adapt your strokes for the needs of a growing child
Plus all the wonderful benefits of baby massage
The Classes
You can expect a luxurious boutique style experience when you come to a Precious Time baby massage class. The classes are tailored to be a premium experience for parents from the moment they walk through the front door to the moment when they say good bye.
The classes are baby-led so it does not matter if your baby needs feeding, their nappy changing, arrive asleep or simply want cuddling during the class, you can still learn how to massage your baby even if you don’t manage to do any massage on them! Each week I go over the previous week's massage strokes too so you won’t miss out.
The classes are structured so there is plenty of opportunity to have chats and conversations about a variety of topics:
the birthing experiences
alternative therapies such as cranial osteopathy
favourite and highly recommended baby products
returning to work after maternity leave and childcare arrangements
advice received, both the good and the unwelcome!
feeding (both bottle and breast)
We discuss all things parenthood and you can enjoy a tasty home bake too!
Maternal Wellbeing
I believe baby massage classes should be a priority for new mums. In today's demanding world, mums often experience excessive pressure and isolation, leading to a rise in post-natal issues. The IAIM programme I teach empowers mums to understand their baby's cues, boosting self-esteem and confidence and resulting in happier and more relaxed babies and parents alike.
In group settings, mums can find solace in the company of others, offering mutual reassurance and valuable companionship.
Plus a delicious home bake always makes you feel better on the worst of mornings!
