“What a beautiful and joyous way to connect with your infant!”
“I set aside a time regularly for my baby and I, just to enjoy the massage. He absolutely loves it, so do I”
“Our massage time is a high point of the day. Good for muscle tone and development.
“Massaging my baby gives us positive quality time, no matter how hard our day/night has been”
“Emma loved it and I felt it made us closer. I will use it especially when I return to work.”
“Josh enjoys his massages and his colic has improved. He settles quicker with his relaxation routines and exercises.”
“Besides the massage, having a cuppa and a chat before each class is a good outlet for me. I learned lots by mixing with other mothers.”
Message from a Mum
I had to return to work when my first daugther was 4 mths old. My body ached from the anxiety of separation and I constantly pined for her. To make it worse the train commute was 1.5 hrs each way. I attended baby massage classes with Glenda Chapman and I was so thankful for the skills she shared. The moment I'd arrive home in the evening I'd re-connect and bond with my daugter by giving her a massage. This eased the anxiety for both of us. Almost ten years on and she now gives me massages which is fabulous. My second daughter also has benefited and has learnt great foot massage techniques passed on to her from her big sister.
V. Steer, Green Point (NSW) mum of two, still working and forever greatful for the parenting, bonding and communication skills I've learnt through infant massage.
