What to expect each week

Week 1

In week 1 you will meet the other parents who will be on the course with you, you will also receive your 30ml bottle of Kapi Sunflower Oil. Our teacher will then guide you through soothing massage techniques for your baby's legs and arms, promoting relaxation and healthy circulation. In this session we will explain why we think nurturing touch is important for your bonding process and for enhancing your baby's overall comfort and well-being.

Week 2

In week 2 we will focus on massage techniques for baby's tummy area, aimed at supporting baby's digestion process and preventing / relieving colic. Learn how to nurture your baby's digestive health through calming and effective touch.

Week 3

In Week 3 we will focus on massage techniques for your baby's chest and arms. This session is designed to support circulation and lymphatic drainage, to improve respiratory function, and to relax the muscles around the lungs and chest, which helps to release congestion and mucus, and encourages deeper breathing.

Week 4

In Week 4 we will concentrate on baby's face and back. When massaging the face, you may have an oportunity for loving eye contact - or they may just try to eat your hands :) Your teacher will demonstrate soothing techniques to help with teething discomfort, deep sleep, and to ease breathing and clear nasal passages from congestion if baby has a cold. There will be lots of tummy time during this session too. This final session ensures a well-rounded baby massage experience, and we can recap anything you're not sure about from the course.

All of our sessions aim to support you and your baby's bonding process through nurturing touch! You will talk and sometimes sing to baby, which helps to develop their communication and language skills. Our massage strokes will help release muscular tension, bring oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, improve circulation and lympatic drainage, help remove toxins, encourage body awareness, help the process of myelenation + so many more benefits.
