Q - What has been the most important experience with your baby since class?

  • It was easy to follow, I enjoyed it, my baby enjoyed it and it was very soothing. R Settree
  • I enjoy massage myself , so I hoped Olivia would enjoy it too. I learned better to read her body language and what she is trying to tell me.
  • I can now recognise her sensitivities and respond to meet her comforts better. K Chapman
  • It is wonderful to see how receptive Charlotte is to touch and massage in just a matter of weeks. She gets excited at the beginning of a massage now. We look forward to many years of massage and can't wait until she can learn to massage us! S Morris.

Comments from parents attending classes at Queen Charlotte's Hospital, London

  • My baby is much calmer now with less periods of discomfort.
  • At 3 months my GP thought I was at risk of post natal depression(my mother had psychosis). I found the massage classes very helpful.
  • I have learned that massaging my baby can help me cope with difficult circumstances in a more positive frame of mind.
  • The classes made me much more at ease with my baby physically and there fore strengthened the bond between us. I was unsure of how much I could touch her, of whether I would be hurting her. I now massage her daily.
  • I lost the fear of touching and handling my baby and allowed us time to relax together. Massage helped with colic and helped him to get to sleep with the singing we learned.
