Baby massage is a loving way to connect with your baby. Through gentle, intentional touch you strengthen your bond, learn to recognise your baby’s signals more easily and create calm for both of you.
At Het Geboorte-atelier we offer a baby massage course consisting of a theoretical part during pregnancy and a practical part after birth.
Theory from 30 weeks of pregnancy
From 30 weeks of pregnancy you are welcome to join the theoretical part of the course. During this session we focus on:
-
the background and benefits of baby massage
-
recognising your baby’s signals
-
when and how you can use baby massage
-
calm, touch and attunement in the first weeks
This preparation helps you to start with confidence as soon as your baby is born.
Practical session in the postpartum period – at the practice
After the birth the practical part of the course follows. This takes place at Het Geboorte-atelier’s practice, during the postpartum period.
In a calm setting you will learn to:
-
apply the massage step by step
-
attune to your baby’s pace and needs
-
recognise and make use of moments of relaxation
There is plenty of room for questions and personal guidance.
Who is it for?
