Developmental Baby Massage is a unique form of baby massage that combines massage and movement to encourage and support babies through the natural steps and stages of their development. It offers a wide range of benefits to both babies and parents, which include:
- Helping babies to develop flexible and healthy joints which assists them through the physical stages of development such as sitting and standing;
- Helping postural development;
- Deepening baby’s breathing rhythm, thereby maximising the oxygen available to them;
- Aiding digestion, easing colic, wind, reflux and constipation;
- Promoting overall relaxation and sounder sleep;
- Keeping babies’ skin smooth and supple through the use of oil on the skin;
- Boosting circulation;
- Decreasing the production of stress hormones;
- Improving the immune system;
- Encouraging confidence and relaxation in baby/parent relationships;
- Helping mums to recover from postnatal depression through touch contact with their babies.
I was trained by Peter Walker, the man responsible for Developmental Baby Massage. Massage is available as a one-to-one session in the comfort of your own home or as a group. Group sessions are held in Central Ely.
The cost is £35 per person for a 5 week course or £15 per private home visit.
