“I just wanted to say thank you so much for the amazing classes this term. The sessions have honestly been the highlight of my recent weeks and some of my favourite moments with Mabel so far. You led the sessions which such clarity and calmness I always left feeling wonderful. I am so sad today was our last lesson.” Sarah L, mum to Mabel, February 2022

Baby massage has been truly wonderful for myself and my baby. It has helped immensely to have something calm and relaxing to focus on and provided a loving bonding time which was so needed. I also had no idea of all the benefits for babies of massage, I keep singing it’s praises to my friends! Sarah is a wonderful teacher and makes you feel so welcome to the class.  I always left feeling uplifted and calm.” Alice W, mum to Iris, February 2022

“I loved the gentle pace of the learning, and hands on nature of the class. The way Sarah fostered a supportive and nurturing environment and made the class a space for us to share and connect with other mums was really appreciated. Sarah was a great leader – she addressed everyone by name and remembered our babies’ names and made everyone feel welcome and heard. She had a gentle and nurturing manner. I loved the way the classes incorporated time to chat and discuss topics related to early motherhood. I felt cared for and always came away from the class feeling happy. Making everyone a hot drink and a biscuit after the massage made me feel relaxed and at home.” Lucy Y, mum to Alice, February 2022

“I attended the baby massage class with my little boy - our course was run online as it was during one of the lockdown periods. It was a great way to meet other local parents and babies, as well as being a fantastic way to bond with my baby. I could see that he really enjoyed the one on one time with me, and we've continued to do some massage every week. Sarah runs the class brilliantly, demonstrating and explaining the massage strokes really well - which must have have especially challenging in lockdown times over Zoom! I'd definitely recommend this course to any new parents.” Sophie W, mum to Remy, April 2021

“I have attended baby massage classes with Sarah, who I cannot recommend enough, twice over the last three years. The first time was with my first child and we enjoyed the sessions so much that I booked the course again for my second baby. Sarah is so knowledgeable, warm and welcoming and fosters a real sense of community within the classes.
It is so lovely to learn how to perform baby massage and to have a dedicated time each week for you to spend with your baby focusing purely on them and bonding. It’s not just an opportunity to learn about baby massage, which is lovely in itself, but is also an opportunity to reflect and bond with other parents.
I highly recommend this class for parents with young babies!” Cat M, mum to Felix, February 2021

“I cannot recommend Sarah’s massage class enough. It was our first in person baby class after our little boy was born in full lockdown back at the start of May. The class was run so professionally and in a very safe Covid environment. Felix loved the massage although the class was so much more than a massage class with Sarah aiding discussions on different baby topics each week. It was so lovely to finally meet other mums with similar age babies and all the babies were so happy to finally be out and about.  It was very touching seeing the babies being able to interact with each other which has not been the norm in the strange Covid world. I came away with new skills but most importantly the course made me doubt myself less and trust my instincts to be the best mum I can be.” Lucy, mum to Felix, October 2020

“We loved the massage course, we took part in an online zoom version of it during lockdown. I now massage Rupert after his bath every other day. Even now he's crawling and into everything, he lies still and enjoys a massage almost every time!” Katherine Buxton, mum to Rupert, July 2020

“I found the baby massage course a perfect start for getting out, socialising and doing fun activities with my baby. It was informative and comforting to learn massage techniques and easy ways to sooth my baby. It was lovely to combine massage with songs and to watch my baby develop and enjoy the classes.

Sarah’s positivity and warmth created a wonderfully supportive and relaxed atmosphere and a cup of tea, biscuit and chat really gave a great opportunity for sharing experiences. Receiving a course certificate at the end gave me a sense of achievement and completion and I was delighted to have something to show with mine and my baby’s name on it.

I’d thoroughly recommend all new parents to try out the massage course, but particularly those who might find a new baby a little overwhelming, as you’ll leave the class with a positive/happy feeling and hopefully a sleepy/happy baby. Additionally the tummy massage techniques have worked very well to sooth my baby’s windy tummy...”  Katie, mum to Bertie, July 2017

 

"Thanks so much for an excellent course. I have particularly enjoyed the chats at the end of the session as I found you to be really supportive and positive and not the least bit judgemental, which is so often found to be the case."  Jo, mum to Bonnie, October 2016

 

"This course was fantastic for bonding with baby and massage has become one of our favourite times of the day.  When we show her the massage oil her face lights up and she becomes very chatty.  Massage has really helped improve her eye contact and we really feel connected with her.  Sarah’s tuition is easy to follow and she makes the class feel welcoming and relaxed for both parents and babies."  Sarah C, mum to Zoë, April 2016

 

"I cannot recommend this baby massage course enough. Sarah's warm and calm demeanour puts everyone at ease, and she is a wealth of knowledge on all things baby!

The course taught me that baby massage is so much more than 'just' massage. It goes back hundreds of years and is commonplace in other cultures. Learning more about massage, rather than just the strokes, was not only fascinating but it also provided context for baby massage so that right from the start the course was extremely relevant. The background information continued to be useful the whole way through, for example I didn't realise there's a right and wrong time to massage your baby.

The benefits of massage for baby are plentiful but actually as a mum it's lovely to learn too; not only does it strengthen your bond with baby but at a basic level it gives you another tool in your mummy toolkit!  If nothing else it's a lovely way to spend some quality time with your baby and fellow mums.  I've been lucky enough to do another baby massage course before Sarah's, and I have to say this one was so much more thorough and professional. It takes a holistic, gentle approach (which is important to me personally), and I've taken a lot from the experience."  Rachel, mum to Isaac, October 2015

 

"Thank you so much Sarah for a super course. You made everybody feel incredibly relaxed from the start and led the classes at a lovely gentle pace. Tilly and I have really enjoyed having time together to learn massage and movements. It is so special when she really engages and enjoys these moments with just the two of us."  Sophie, mum to Tilly, April 2015

 

"My baby and I really enjoyed this class. There is a lot more to baby massage than I realised and the class showed us how many benefits there are and how you can fit it in with your daily routine. The instructor was excellent and very knowledgeable on the subject, making the class a relaxed and fun experience for all of us. The class was also a good opportunity to spend time with other local mums and share our experiences."  Jenny, mum to Esme, March 2015
