What can we offer?
We offer baby massage courses of five weeks with each session lasting about 45 mins. We will start off in week one by massaging the chest, tummy and legs then build up over the rest of the course until you have a full top to toe massage routine you can practice at home. We provide all equipment including mats, towels and oil. You will receive a full massage booklet to remind you of the strokes and a certificate on completion of the course. Our sessions run in Kirkby Fleetham which is easily accessible from Bedale, Catterick, Thirsk, Richmond and the Yorkshire Dales. We also offer sessions in Northallerton which are in walking distance from the town centre.
For group sessions we recommend that babies are six weeks up until they are crawling.
