It’s always lovely to get good feedback about my classes – here is a recent review on BathMums from my April course.

I recently was asked by Bath Mums to talk about Baby Massage through an interview feature – it was launched today on their website and here it is, click the image to view….enjoy the read…
It’s an important discussion in my class, and a question many people ask – what massage oil should you use to massage your baby?
The IAIM recommend cold pressed oils and unscented vegetable oils. In my class I recommend cold pressed, unscented fruit and vegetable oils such as safflower, sunflower or fractionated coconut oil. There are many reasons why and here they are:
Many manufactured massage oils contain petroleum that blocks up skin pores and doesn’t allow the skin to breathe, they can also create skin irritations and rashes. Use an oil to massage your baby that you would eat on a salad – one that is fresh, natural, pure and unscented!

I had a lovely mention in Bath Parent Magazine this month about my ‘Buddy Up’ service which is designed for mums who find it hard to get childcare and want a massage. Read all about it here..
I will be at the NCT New Oriel Hall Baby Café on Tuesday 17th March at 1.30pm offering free baby massage taster sessions.
Come along and find out more about baby massage, try a few strokes and chat to me about any questions you may have about baby massage. Look forward to seeing you all there!
