Nurture Baby Massage

Nurture Baby Massage in Wendover

Wendover Memorial Hall | Wednesdays 10:30–11:30 | 6-Week Courses

A gentle, nurturing course designed to help you bond with your baby, learn baby massage techniques, and feel supported in early motherhood — emotionally, physically, and mentally.

Who is this class for?

These classes are suitable for:

From birth onwards

• Until baby is mobile (approximately 7–10 months)

No experience is needed — just come as you are

A space for real motherhood

This is a completely judgement-free, flexible space.

You can:

• feed your baby

• change nappies

• cuddle, rock or soothe

• pause or simply sit and listen

There is no expectation for babies to be settled or for you to “keep up.”

What makes this course different?

This is so much more than a baby massage course.

You will learn a full baby massage routine

You will be supported through postnatal recovery and motherhood

This course focuses on BOTH baby and mummy.

Understanding baby massage

Baby massage works best when baby is alert and calm (alert-awake state).

If baby is:

• tired

• hungry

• unsettled

You simply watch, learn, and practice later at home.

There is no pressure to perform the massage in class — you are here to learn.

What happens in a class?

Each session is gently structured but led by the needs of the group.

A typical class includes:

• Welcome & check-in

Baby massage teaching (priority focus)

• Relaxation or poem

• Postnatal discussion

Some weeks may feel more:

baby-focused (learning & oxytocin building)

• or mum-focused (rest, support & connection)

The class evolves depending on how everyone is feeling.
