Details

The five week baby massage course is divided into two modules because of Covid19.

Part One: The online module of baby massage with massage stroke handbook PDF is €60.

Part Two: The in person class will be charged separately so that you have the option to attend the in person module separately for the further €60. It will have more massage strokes to enjoy with your baby. You'll also get to meet other Mums in person.

Baby Massage can aid digestion, help to establish a sleep pattern and assist in alleviating symptoms of colic and constipation.

What you need?
To be able to watch the class online (using a laptop, phone or ipad) using an app called Zoom.
A comfy and quiet spot on the floor for you and baby.
For the instructor (Elaine Walsh-McGrath) to be able to see you, using the video on your device so that she can give you feedback and support on the massage strokes.

You might be able to get some or all of the cost of the course may be refundable if you have private health insurance, depending on your cover.

I recommend that Mum massages baby in the first course. Another member of the family is welcome to do the course after Mum has done the classes. Only one person should massage baby during our session. It should be one on one because otherwise baby can be over stimulated.

We are not allowed to record sessions, we must provide a registration form and it needs to be completed prior to class, we have to fill out a simple evaluation form for each class to make sure that you are happy with the settings.

In the online setting the International Association of Infant Massage has stipulated a maximum amount of 4 participants per course to allow us to interact and be able to give you the optimum amount of attention.

*Please note that class fees are non-refundable unless the organiser cancels a class.

Instructions

You will need to wear comfy clothes so that you can get down on the floor with baby and move around.

A comfy blanket for baby to lie on while they have their massage and a cushion for you to sit on the floor so that you can move around easily during the class.

Sunflower oil (preferably organic, can be bought in Tesco in the cooking oil section)

Warm room so that you can take baby's clothes off, down to their nappy, while we do the massage.

The class is baby led so if baby needs to feed or be changed that usually happens in the room while I teach.
