Baby Massage Class
What Is Baby Massage?
Baby Massage uses gentle, baby-safe touch to support comfort, calming, and connection.
Our approach is different from a general “massage class” because it’s individualised to your baby. We consider things like your baby’s age and stage, how they like to be held or positioned, and what you’re currently navigating (settling, tummy discomfort, tension patterns, feeding routines, or sleep rhythms). The session is always baby-led—we follow your baby’s cues and pause whenever needed.
Parents are a big part of the visit. We can teach you simple, safe massage strokes to use at home, so you leave with practical tools—not just a one-off appointment.
A Calm Space for Baby (and You)
You know your baby best. Our chiropractor will work with you to provide calm, baby-led care and clear guidance, so you feel confident supporting your baby’s comfort and wellbeing between visits.
Paced and Baby-Led: We follow your baby’s lead. If your baby needs to feed, sleep, or take a break during the session, we pause and support you to respond to those needs first.
Safety and Comfort First: We use gentle, baby-appropriate techniques and can guide you on creating a calm environment and choosing baby-safe products for delicate skin.
Anatomy-Informed Approach: We explain what we’re doing and why, so you understand the purpose of each technique and how to use simple strokes confidently at home.
One-on-One Support: Sessions are individual and unhurried, with time for questions, coaching, and personalised guidance for you and your baby.
What Happens in a Session
Every appointment is personalised, but most sessions include:
1) A short check-in
We’ll talk through what you’ve been noticing and what you’d like support with—such as settling, sleep rhythms, tummy discomfort, feeding routines, or general tension.
2) Positioning and comfort first
We’ll find the positions your baby is most comfortable in (on you, on the table, or side-lying). Comfort comes first, and we’ll pause anytime your baby needs a break.
3) Gentle baby massage
We teach professional massage strokes and adjust pressure and pace to suit your baby’s age, preferences, and cues on the day.
4) Customised massage oil
If you’d like, we’ll show you a few easy formulas of baby massage oil that you can create in your own time at home
5) A simple at-home plan
You’ll leave with a realistic routine that fits your day—even if it’s just 10-15 minutes at a time.
Please note: baby massage is supportive care and not a substitute for medical advice. If you’re concerned about your baby’s health, feeding, or symptoms, please seek medical care promptly.
Who Is This For
Baby Massage may be a good fit for you and your baby if you’re looking for calm, baby-led techniques to support settling, comfort, and everyday routines, including:
New parents who want to bond with baby using gentle touches.
Unsettled, colicky babies who find it hard to wind down, and benefit from calm, baby-led strategies for regulation.
Babies with gas or tummy discomfort where gentle strategies may support comfort
Sleep and settling challenges, especially as part of a calming bedtime rhythm
Supporting Comfort, Regulation & Early Development
In the early months, babies are developing body awareness and learning to regulate their nervous system. Gentle, appropriate touch can support relaxation and help babies feel more secure in their bodies—while also giving parents practical, calming tools they can use day-to-day.
Our goal is simple: support your baby’s comfort and help you feel confident at home.
