The gentle art of baby massage has been a part of daily life in eastern cultures for centuries.  Over recent years it has become increasingly popular in the west, where we are discovering the value of massaging our babies. Baby massage has many benefits for both the baby and parent, it encourages bonding and attachment, promotes relaxation and sleep, and gives reassurance to the baby through touch, as well as strengthening the baby’s immune system, helping digestion and encouraging joint flexibility. The techniques are simple to learn and can easily be fitted into your baby’s daily routine to give you both quality time together.

Helen Lawrence is a qualified Baby Massage Instructor with several years experience teaching various complementary therapies for Bucks Adult Learning. Previously Helen spent many years working in salons and therapy clinics.Helen is a mother of two young daughters Emily and Sophie.
