Walthamstow Village E17: Thursdays 10.30

Service Description

Learn the empowering skill of how to gently massage your baby from head to toe in a welcoming class that also encourages you to slow down and check in with yourself/your needs. Course details: Dates/time: Thurs 1st- 22nd August/10.30-11.15am Venue: St Mary's Welcome Centre, Church Lane E17 9RJ in the heart of Walthamstow Village. (Please note: Our courses are held at the St Mary's welcome centre, which is the smaller building located across the churchyard from the main church building on Church Lane). The course will: • Teach you the full baby massage routine (chest, tummy, legs, feet, arms, hands, back, face and head), building slowly week on week. • Teach proven techniques to help with your baby’s overall development. • Support you to learn how to remedy common ailments in babies; such as colic, trapped wind, constipation and teething pain. • Share insider “tricks of the trade”, such as which massage moves are best for soothing and encouraging your baby to relax, promoting better sleep/nap cycles (a fav with our parents!) • Promote relaxation for you and your baby, allowing you to bond with your baby in the most wonderful way. • Parents are invited to do some gentle intention setting and breath work at the start of the classes. • Provide a space for parents to meet and connect. We recommend babies are around 6 weeks before joining, however if you want to join before this point that's perfectly fine. Baby massage is safe to practice from birth, and is suitable for babies up until they are on the move (crawling). What’s included: • 4 weeks of face-to-face teaching • An email sent out before with advice on which oils to buy and how to prepare for the course. • A handy visual handout is provided. • No special equipment needed - bring a blanket T&C’s: Tickets are for 1 parent and baby to attend. If you would like someone to come along with you for a class, please pop us an email beforehand so we can ensure there is enough space. Refunds: In the rare occasion that a class needs to be cancelled (perhaps due to staff sickness etc) a part refund will be issued for that class. Cancellations: If you are unable to make a class for any reason, we are unable to offer a part refund or exchange for another class- however we are happy for you to give your space away to a friend for that week.
