A Mother World baby massage isn't your average baby massage.
- relaxation techniques for mum and deep connection with your baby
- encouraging your babies' natural developmental milestones
But it's not all about baby.....It's actually more about you, relaxing, bonding, being honest with other parents, and feeling supported in a dedicated and comfortable space.
Small classes for you to enjoy - no pressure, no competition, no judgement. There's honest conversation, different topics of discussion each week and you'll be welcomed with a nice cuppa!
This is a 5 week course for babies starting from 6+ weeks, after you've had your GP check up, to precrawlers. Classes are split between two age groups:
New-born Foundations 6 weeks to 4 months
Essentials Beyond 4 months to pre-crawlers - includes soft yoga for mummy and baby
Baby Massage - What to Expect
You've been added to a new WhatsApp group the day before the class, and sent all the information so you know where to go and what to expect.
You know the names of others in the group, so you don't feel as anxious. This WhatsApp group becomes your new Mum Friend group, without any of the awkward 'shall we swap numbers?' chat.
Arriving at the dedicated Hub, Sophie opens the big blue door and welcomes you and baby with a smile. Walking through into the room, you're greeted with a relaxed, comfortable safe space and a cup of tea. Another smiling mummy introduces herself as you get settled. You take a sip of your hot cuppa, and we get settled on the mats.
Each week we start with a 'check in' - "How are you feeling?". You can talk as much as you like, or just give one word. Whatever is right for you, but you feel relaxed and supported. This is a place of honesty, and you're not alone.
We then discuss our highs and lows of the week - without judgement. This helps to celebrate the small wins.
We then move on to focussing on your breath to relax you while you have your hand on your baby's tummy to connect and enabling you to focus on the moment and bond with your baby.
Then gentle stretches for you, and a lovely massage for baby, focussing on different areas each week.
We end with a topic of discussion to learn new things, share stories and empathise with each other to build your friendship.
You're then welcome to stay in the hub for a drink and biscuit, or pop over to the onsite Cafés with your new friends. Sophie takes pictures throughout the class to capture those special moments - they are only shared to your WhatsApp group for you to treasure.
I trained with Peter Walker, an internationally accredited and widely respected teacher of Developmental Baby Massage who has pioneered the practice of Developmental Baby Massage for babies and children from the 1980s onwards and has been working with mothers and babies for over 40 years. I also qualified in 2023 in Mummy & Baby Soft Yoga.
Baby massage classes are held in the A Mother World Hub at Moss End Garden Village in Berkshire.
Spaces are very limited - max 8. Includes massage oil, treats, and Whatsapp Chat for all the mums to join.
Courses are accredited by FEDANT.
