Terms and Conditions

Safety Guidelines

Please read these guidelines carefully before attending your first class.

When practicing

Work with your own baby only. 

Never rush or force anything when practicing with your baby. If you are feeling stressed or tense, take a break and come back to practice later. Never do anything you feel uncomfortable with. And make sure that you are always confident and safe in the way you are working with your baby. 

If baby is unwell

 It is best not to attend the massage class. If your baby is crying excessively and cannot be comforted then this may be a sign that he/she may be unwell. All baby massage is baby led. Therefore never practice on a distressed baby, or if your baby is limp, pale, has a temperature or any difficulties breathing. Please seek appropriate medical help.

Vaccinations

Do not practice baby massage for 24 hours after the baby’s immunisations. After this time avoid the area for at least a week.
