Baby massage experience in Greenwich Jan and Feb 2019
Baby massage experience in Greenwich Jan and Feb 2019
Ideal experience for babies two months to pre-crawlers. Mums, dads or main caregivers welcome.
Massage is a wonderful and special gift you can share with your baby. Touch is your baby’s most developed sense at birth and through it you can communicate love, security and trust. 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.
This experience includes five sessions of an hour long at Ellie Brown's Greenwich Fitness & Pilates Studio.
Thursdays 1.30pm - 2.30pm
24th, 31st January and 7th, 14th and 21st February 2019
Refreshments, coconut oil and laminated handouts for parents included.
By booking a block of 5 sessions you are eligible for a free replacement class later in the year (either in baby massage or baby yoga, subject to availability with catch up classes, but I always try to make it work for you in case you miss a session for whatever reason).
I also have a system of enjoy-as-you-go, where you can book as and when you want to join a class. In this case, you get coconut oil and electronic handouts in your first class, and laminated handouts with 3 classes or more. Enjoy-as you-go needs to be booked online too, the scheduling booking system is available here.
Babies with additional health care needs are welcome, you will fill out a questionnaire when you click on checkout so I get more insight on the situation and I can always give you a call before hand to make sure I have all the information to make any necessary adaptation tailored to your baby.
HOW IT WORKS
In each class we do relaxation exercises for parents, learn a massage sequence from various parts of the body, songs and rhymes to go with them and we have time for a chat at the end (with a cuppa!). You then get a space to meet other parents and share experiences. You get to learn lots about the benefits of nurturing touch and how your responsive interactions help shape your baby’s brain. Each session lasts one hour.
Classes are baby led, relaxed, friendly and fun!
You will get to know other parents, learn and relax.
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 or changing mat to put on floor so that baby can lay there (mats will be available but its nicer to put baby's cosy well-known blanket on top of the mat)
- 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.
Very easy access via public transport (Greenwich Railway and DLR stations) and parking available nearby at the Sainsbury's local and surrounding roads (although parking isn't free).
As it is coming to the winter months, I will try to make space for pushchairs inside of the studio, but it would be great if you bring your baby in a sling/baby carrier (if you can).
