Why choose Mama & Me?

Our classes are recognized and recommended by local Pediatricians, GPs, Midwives, Health Visitors, and Physiotherapists. They offer a range of health benefits for both you and your baby. Each class provides a serene, sensory-rich environment bathed in mood lighting and fairy lights with a welcoming vibe, encouraging mums to socialize and meet new friends.

 

Touch is the most developed sense at birth, so baby massage is the perfect "first class." You and your baby can enjoy it until they start crawling. My five-week term introduces new routines each week:

 

​Week 1: Tummy, Chest, Legs & Reflexology on the Feet 

​Week 2: Tummy, Chest Arms & Reflexology on the Hands 

Week 3: Tummy, Tummy Time (back massage) Legs & Reflexology on the Feet 

​Week 4: Tummy, Chest, Facial, Legs & Reflexology on the Feet 

​Week 5: Recap everything we've learnt & our seasonal themed session

​

We link each massage routine with a yoga stretch and song, allowing for relaxation and movement. The tummy massage routine is crucial, as it addresses common discomforts like colic, reflux, trapped wind, and constipation.

During the routines, I pair each stroke, stretch, and pressure point with a word or song. This exposes babies to vocabulary and uses your soothing voice for relaxation. If you're not comfortable singing, I will always lead.

My classes incorporate a gentle sensory approach using maracas, sensory scarves, mirrors, fairy lights, and mood lighting. These elements stimulate all five senses:

​

Touch: Skin-to-skin contact, massage, and sensory scarves boost oxytocin, blood flow, muscle tone, flexibility, and mobility.

​

Sight: Mood lighting, sensory scarves, mirrors, and maracas aid eye-tracking development.

​

Smell: Chamomile aromatherapy promotes calmness, relaxation, and sleep.

​

​Hearing: Words and songs linked to movements aid language development. The maraca introduces cause and effect.

​

Taste: Maracas double as teething toys.
