Wellbeing for Mothers and Babies

I am so excited to be introducing a brand-new course – Wellbeing for Mothers and Babies. This course was created by Kate Pigeon-Owen and Caroline Roberts, both of whom are experienced trainers for the International Association of Infant Massage amongst other skills!  Click here to find out more about the founders.

In this five-week course, there are weekly themes all centring on improving wellbeing for both mum and baby.

For mum you’ll learn various relaxation, self-massage, guided breathing and gentle movement techniques plus a simple back massage. Each session will include a discussion topic, linked to the weekly theme. These topics aim to get us reflecting and thinking about evidence and research on different aspects of well-being such as: connection and oxytocin, being active, taking notice, learning something new, sleep, technology and help us all learn a little more about looking after our own, and our baby’s, wellbeing.

For baby you’ll learn some beautiful story massages, lullabies, rhymes and songs and gentle movements for babies, which are also perfect for any older children at home.

My classes are safe spaces to share, confide in and support one another. We honour all parenting styles and opinions. The course allows us some time to reflect, share, discuss and learn from one another.
