Baby Massage Classes
Rachel teaches The First Touch Course™, with each class lasting around 1–1½ hours. It is the only parent infant massage and touch education program in Australia that has been subjected to any research and has been shown to support babies sleep, settling and soothing abilities; physical and motor development; development of confidence and self-esteem; empathy and other social skills.
In addition to learning the massage strokes, participants learn about the benefits of massage for babies, how to read their baby's cues and respond appropriately, suitable oils for use in massage, rhymes and songs for older babies and basic relaxation.
Groups are limited to 6 families so that there is plenty of time to ask questions, learn a wide range of practical skills and still meet the needs of your baby. Sessions are structured so that your baby can have a feed, cuddle, sleep, nappy change or a cry if needed. Classes are held at Myolife, or in the comfort of your own home. Private one-on-one sessions are also available. Please talk to Rachel to discuss your needs.
Bookings can be made by calling Rachel on 0407 949 039.
