A Mother World baby massage isn't your average baby massage. It's relaxation techniques for mum and deep connection with your baby, whilst encouraging your babies' natural developmental milestones. But it's not all about baby. It's actually more about you, relaxing, bonding, being honest and 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, relaxing cuppa!
This is a 5 week course for babies from 6+ weeks, after you've had your GP check up. Classes are split between two age groups.
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.
