Baby Massage

A great experience for you and your little one, a chance to bond with your baby, learn an amazing and time honoured skill that can help with your baby's development and relaxation and to meet other parents of babies.

Baby massage classes are a great introduction to getting out with your baby. I'm a Mum of two myself and have a decade of experience in running classes, including for various groups like Surestart and Homestart. My classes are relaxed and welcoming, baby-led so no pressure if babies cry, fall asleep, need fed or changed during class. Teaching and massage will form the first part of the class, followed by some Mum and baby relaxation time and a chance for a cup of tea or coffee and some refreshments and chat. Partners or grandparents are welcome to pop along to classes also.

You will receive massage oil and laminated handouts from the classes so that you can also practice at home.

My classes are kept to a maximum of 6 parent and babies and take place in The Haven yoga and wellbeing studio in central Bangor. We have a smaller, cosy sensory/nurture room for the classes off the main studio. Class runs for 5 weeks and each week we will do a recap of the previous week so not to worry if you don't make it to a class one week. A block of classes costs £45.00.

Bring yourself, baby and whatever you normally bring with you. While mats and oils are provided, you may want to bring an old towel to absorb any excess oil during or after massage, or a travel cup to keep your drink warm or take a warm drink away with you (mugs and cups are available at venue also).

Please note venue is on the first floor, up one flight of stairs (no lift). There is not a lot of room downstairs for buggies or prams, however I am happy to carry those up and keep in studio for you if needed. Parking including parent and child parking available in nearby Asda car park, parking charge may apply (refundable if using Asda also) we cannot be held responsible for any parking fines or charges, please check. There is also parking at Abbey St, Dufferin Avenue, Castle St and Park Drive within walking distance.

Please notify of any medical conditions that would require any special adaptations for you to join the class. If your child has any congenital conditions or any undiagnosed lumps or bumps, bruises, circulatory disorders, jaundice or any other conditions, please notify class provider and check with them before booking and also please check with your GP or health visitor if baby massage would be suitable for your baby.

Please do not bring baby to class if you or baby is currently ill.
