Baby Massage Course with Bethanie

About Bethanie's Baby Massage course

This Baby Massage Course is suitable for parents and guardians, grandparents, families and expectant parents who want to learn the benefits of baby massage and how this can be factored into your routine, bonding and building a strong attachment with baby, as well as for babies who are experiencing symptoms of colic or teething issues. Parents are able to learn simple routines to help babies and children in their care be more comfortable and settled.

The sessions are all baby led, if baby needs feeding, sleep or anything else, please do not feel like you cannot attend or participate. This class is inclusive to all and you can still learn through demonstrations. This is a learning experience for caregivers to carry out massage on babies and children correctly.

Baby Massage is run as a 5 week course, each week is an hour session. (Attending the full course is extremely beneficial). The full course goes through each area of the body, including benefits of the specific massage and cautions that should be taken during the massage. 

What you will learn

The main purpose of this course is to promote love, bonding and attachment between baby and caregiver.

You will build upon already known practical knowledge and skills to help you as a parent as well as massage techniques to calm, settle and relieve tension from different areas of the baby's body (including routines to assist baby with issues like teething pain or discomfort).

By the end of this course, (I hope) you will be confident with baby massage, understand baby massage routines, the do's and don'ts of baby massage and how to communicate with baby through touch and cues.
