Classes in Baby Massage & Massage for Children with
Special Needs
Baby massage classes teach parents and carers how to
massage babies and children. Massage is safe, relaxing and
fun.
Research has shown that baby massage can have the following
benefits:
- aids sleep
- promotes emotional security and trust
- stimulates digestion
- can help babies gain weight
- helps with the relief of colic and constipation
- helps develop muscle tone and co-ordination and
strength
Massage is used for children suffering from chronic
pain, and conditions such as asthma and diabetes. It helps
children who are anxious, increasing their feeling of
general well being. Also, babies and children with Down's
Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy and other special needs may
benefit greatly from the massage experience.
Classes can take place in groups or on a one-to-one
basis. The classes usually last from one to two hours. A
single introductory 'taster' session is available or a
complete programme of five classes* gives a full basic
understanding of massage techniques that are safe to use on
babies and children.

Top quality organic oil and
baby massage book are provided free with the five-class
complete programme.
