Baby massage workshop for dads March 2019
Baby massage workshop for dads March 2019
Ideal experience for babies two months to pre-crawlers and their daddies.
As a dad, you might not necessarily get the skin to skin contact you might want to explore with your baby. Touch is your baby’s most developed sense at birth and through it you can communicate love, security and trust.
Massage is a wonderful and special gift you can share with your baby, getting to know each in a relaxed environment is key to gain confidence in your new role as a dad. Baby massage can help you to understand your baby’s cues and develop your ability to listen and respond through the creation of a special time together. Plus it will allow you to meet other blokes like you facing this rollercoaster of parenthood.
This experience includes a session of an hour long at Ellie Brown's Greenwich Fitness & Pilates Studio.
Saturday 16th March 2019
11.45 am - 12.45 pm
Refreshments, coconut oil and laminated handouts for parents included.
Sessions are every 4-6 weeks so you are always welcome to come back! Content is new and refreshed and themed in different ways depending the time of the year and the age of the babies.
HOW IT WORKS
This experience is an hour long, by the end you will learn some baby massage movements to do with baby, but most importantly, the benefits of your loving nurturing touch.
The session will last one hour, there will be an intro and some info, and of course massage practice. I add on rhymes and songs to make it more fun and easier to remember.
Classes are baby led, relaxed, friendly and fun!
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
This is a quick checklist of what you need, it is very simple:
- Be ready to relax and enjoy the moment! ;-)
- Wear comfy clothes as we will be sitting on the floor
- A blanket to put over pilates mats that will be available (as it is nicer if baby has something under that is cosy and with the smell he/she recognises)
- An extra blanket to cover baby in case he/she gets cold (the room will be warm but just in case)
- And of course, whatever you carry for baby when you go out (e.g. nappies, food, etc.)
I will bring demo dolls, music, handouts for you and oil. There will also be some cushions in case you need support when sitting.
WHERE TO MEET
We are lucky to use Ellie Brown's Greenwich Fitness & Pilates Studio at 225 Greenwich High Road, London, SE10 8NB, between John Payne Estate Agent and a Dentist Surgery, down a short driveway.
