Our Baby Massage Course is more than a relaxing routine — it’s a beautiful way to support your baby’s healthy sensory and emotional development through the power of nurturing touch.
As a Certified Infant Massage Instructor with the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM) and an Occupational Therapist, I’m trained to guide you step by step through safe, effective strokes you can confidently use at home.
The IAIM programme is trusted worldwide and is grounded in research on how nurturing touch supports early development, bonding and parent confidence.
Our 5-week course is gentle and paced so you can learn, practise and ask questions in a calm, supportive setting.
For babies 0-12 months.
Touch is actually the very first language we speak. It’s our largest sensory organ and the very first sense to develop in the womb — and interestingly, it’s also said to be the last sense we lose when we die.
Right from before birth, babies receive impressions through touch — so you could say that touch is their very first connection to the world. It’s our job as parents to make sure this connection is loving, safe, and nurturing.
When babies are deprived of loving touch, it can deeply affect their development — they may even regress or struggle to thrive. Different kinds of touch — nurturing, scary, painful, or absent — shape a baby’s sense of safety and trust.
Because a baby’s nervous system is still developing, conscious, loving touch plays a crucial role. When we massage our babies gently and with full, undivided attention, we help soothe and balance their nervous system. These repetitive, gentle movements create and strengthen neural pathways in the brain — supporting not just their body, but also healthy brain development and emotional bonding.
Some babies may have experienced medical interventions that, while necessary, are invasive and uncomfortable. Massage offers a gentle way to counterbalance those early experiences with positive, loving touch — helping babies learn that touch can feel safe, warm, and comforting.
On a practical level, touch triggers the release of ‘feel-good’ hormones like oxytocin, often called the ‘bonding hormone.’ So, when you give your baby a massage, you’re not just soothing muscles or easing tummy pain — you’re filling their world with safety, trust, and connection. And you’re giving yourself a calm, connected moment too.
