You can start from birth! Around 4-6 weeks is ideal. After 6-7 months, it can become a bit trickier as babies start to roll more and more.

What are the benefits?

• Strengthens your bond with your baby • Supports sleep and relaxation • Eases tummy troubles like gas and colic • Encourages body awareness and motor skills

How long is the course?

The course runs over six weekly sessions, each lasting 45–60 minutes. We go at a gentle pace, always following your baby’s needs.

What do I need?

Just a soft towel or blanket and comfy clothes for yourself. We provide the oil and everything else you need!

What if my baby cries or sleeps?

That’s normal! You can comfort, feed, or simply observe. You’ll still learn the techniques to use when your baby is ready.
