You’re doing so much. This is time just for you and your baby.
The early weeks and months are a lot. You’re learning your baby and your baby is learning the world around them. And somewhere in the middle of all the feeds, googling and 3 am worry spirals it can often feel like you’re just trying to keep your head above water.
But you don’t have to do this alone.
Our baby massage classes in Skipton and Hellifield are small, unhurried. A warm room, familiar faces and a bit of breathing space… No pressure and no judgment. Just you and your baby, where ever you are that day.
What baby massage actually does.
There’s actually proper science behind baby massage.
Baby massage raises oxytocin, the bonding hormone in both you and your baby… strengthening your connection one stroke at a time. It also brings the stress hormone cortisol down. So the calmer baby and the calmer you that you hoped for, isn’t necessarily wishful thinking. The research backs it up.
Baby massage can also support, sleep, digestion and motor development… and for babies who struggle with colic or trapped wind it can often help ease some of those pains a bit, helping to make those tough evening a little more manageable.
But what parents often say afterwards is that it felt how they felt in themselves . More confidence and like they had found their footing a little.
And the routines and strokes you learn at Tiny Hands Baby Massage, they’re yours to keep. Bathtime, bedtime, on a fussy evening… you’ll use them long after your course with us ends.
What our baby massage classes in Skipton and Hellifield actually look like
Our sessions are intentionally small. You won’t walk into a big, echoing hall. You’ll find a calm, warm space with soft mats, familiar faces and time to breathe.
Each week we look at a different area of the body, and each week builds on the last until you have a full routine. We’ll also cover a dedicated colic and wind sequence, that combines gentle massage with some baby yoga movements.
There’s no pressure for your baby to be calm, quiet or still. Whatever they need to do, they can do it here. Cry, wriggle, feed or sleep… all of it is welcome here.
There’s no wrong way to be in our room.
There’s always time for a warm drink and a little cake. Time to sit, have a chat and spend time alongside other parents who just get it… and often some of the best conversations happen in that time before everyone heads back out into the world.
You’ll get a PDF and recordings of all the strokes so you’re not trying to hold it all in your head. And throughout the course you’ve got direct WhatsApp support from me so if something comes up outside of group you’re not left without support.
And then there’s the Baby Spa…
Our final session of every 5 week course is a little bit special…
Once you have learnt our full baby massage routine we celebrate with a Baby Spa. Individual Schnuggle baths, sensory lights, fluffy dressing gowns and spa sliders for those tiny feet… and theres something bubbly for your too!
It’s a proper celebration for your baby and you. Theres a special photo wall set up so you can get some special photos of your baby’s very first spa…. looking pampered and adorable… the kind of photos that will still take pride of place in 10 years time!
Its the perfect finish to our block and a perfect way to celebrate you and your baby and all the lovely things you have done here at Tiny Hands Baby Massage.
