Baby Massage and Reflexology

Gentle Touch Infant Massage sessions are run by Lisa, a member of the International Association of Infant Massage. During your five week course you learn how to massage your baby in a way that both you and your baby will find incredibly nurturing and relaxing. Groups are small so that you get personal attention throughout. Massage can help to enhance your natural bond and has many other benefits. Baby massage can help your baby to sleep for longer and more deeply and can also help to relieve the symptoms of wind.

Courses are based at the Verulam Clinic in St Albans or I can come to your home if you have a small group of friends who would all like to learn together.

You will receive oil, a folder with an infant massage colour booklet, as well as a certificate and a small gift for your baby at the end of the course. Sessions are suitable from newborn to crawling.

Gymboree Play & Music St Albans now offer IAIM Infant Massage. We are passionate about the importance of touch and bonding with your baby and massage is a great way to introduce this to you both! Research shows that the first 1000 days of a child’s life are highly influential on their life-long mental health and we want to help you along that crucial journey. Our Baby Massage course consists of 5 sessions each lasting 1 hour, in our beautiful studio.

We invite babies (under 1 year) and their parents along to learn all about the importance of touch and hope you will use this course as an opportunity to bond with your baby whilst learning and practicing the different massage strokes with our fully qualified IAIM instructor Steph.

Little La La Club run baby massage classes with music for babies from 6 week to pre-crawling. Baby massage is a lovely way to calm your baby in the evenings, before naps or just to pass the time of day. You and your little one should find these classes very relaxing.

Little La La Club is run by local mum Sally Williams. Sally is trained by the International Association of Infant Massage. The class includes relaxation, learning the massage strokes, routines for colic and flexibility, a chat and a much needed cup of tea! Sally is also a song-writer and has written songs to go with some of the massage strokes and moves. During the class Sally also sings a couple of gentle songs and plays the guitar, whilst you hug or feed your little one.

You can attend a 5 week class, or Sally can come to your home. If you have a group of friends that would like to try baby massage then Sally can run a group class especially for you.
