FAQ’s

Some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) which may be useful for those attending classes or one to one sessions.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO CLASS?
  • Baby Massage classes: We provide matts for you to sit on and you will receive a bottle of organic massage oil.  All information is provided for baby massage in a manual and some will be emailed to you. You should bring either a cushion for yourself to sit on and a pillow and blanket for your baby to lie on and anything else they might need.
  • Baby Reflexology classes: We provide matts for you to sit on and you will receive a tub reflexology balm.  All information is provided for baby reflexology in a manual and some will be emailed to you. You should bring either a cushion for yourself to sit on and a pillow and blanket for your baby.  Baby reflexology can also be done while your baby is in their rocker.
WHAT SHOULD MY BABY WEAR
  • Your baby can wear anything you like but a simple baby grow may be easier for you to take on and off.
  • It is a good idea to bring your nappy bag, blanket and a small towel/ change of clothes for your baby too.
WHEN CAN I START CLASSES

Baby Massage/Reflexology There are no set guidelines regarding the minimum age for when to start baby massage/reflexology. Although nurturing touch can be given from birth, some babies may find formal, structured massage/reflexology too stimulating in the very early weeks.

When it comes to baby massage/reflexology classes, some babies may find a formal class overwhelming in the early weeks. It can also be hard for parents to make it to a class on time or consistently with a newborn. As a result, many parents prefer to wait until their baby is about six weeks old when their routine is more settled and their behaviour is sometimes more predictable.

WHEN CAN I START INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS

Baby Massage/Reflexology  Again there is no set guidelines regarding the minimum age to start baby massage/reflexology classes but as these are individually booked sessions they are less overwhelming and more private they can be booked at the parents own discression.
