Baby Massage at Walton, Chesterfield

A 4-Week Baby Massage Course for Mother & Baby

Let's go through the journey of what to expect together: 

This is a calm, thoughtful space for mothers in the early weeks and months of motherhood. 
A place to slow down, connect with your baby and feel supported. 

Drawing on my background in hypnobirthing and weaving it perfectly together with my baby massage training, each session is designed to help both you and your baby settle into calmness and relaxation. You’ll learn simple massage techniques that ease wind, support digestion, encourage sleep, relaxation and beautiful bonding.

Every detail is thoughtfully considered.

From the small group size to the welcoming setting, baby-safe oils, beautiful handouts, welcome bags, personalised spaces and a warm drink of your choice. By the end of the 4 weeks you will feel confident in giving your baby a full body massage, but will also leave feeling looked after, supported and with some new mum friends! 

This course is designed to feel personal, special and nurturing.

A weekly moment to exhale and to be present with your baby.
It isnt't often we have time to be completely present, undisturbed, without other tasks or distractions calling you. For an hour a week though, this can be your time to just be, with your baby, without anything else demanding attention.

To arrive exactly as you are, without pressure or expectation.

This course is completely baby led, which means that whenever your baby needs changing, cuddling, feeding, rocking or a little break from the massage; or whether they want to cry loudly or babble away; this is their way of communicating, all expected and welcome with plenty of space to meet their needs. We always go at their pace and if you just need to observe for a while, no problem, just join back in when it feels right to!

Reviews from other mums:

'I attended Donna's Baby Massage Course with my little one and I couldn't recommend it enough! Having 3 kids under the age of 4, it was lovely to have somewhere relaxing and peacful to take my youngest to have some quality bonding time. Donna is absolutely lovely and always took time and genuine interest to get to know me and my little one. I miss going every week! Really hope to sign onto another course soon!' - Paige, 3rd time mum 

'Myself and my baby really enjoyed this baby massage course over the last few weeks. It was a great chance to bond with my little girl and take some time to reflect on my motherhood journey so far. Meeting others mums and chatting you really feel supported and things you are going through you realise you are not alone. Would highly recommend this class, Donna makes you feel really welcome and is invested/supportive of you from the beginning and all the little touches make the course so special'. - Rebecca, first time mum
