Come and unwind, connect with your baby, learn baby massage techniques with me (Phillippa) and meet others in the comfort of my own home with my holistic massage approach. You’ll learn a variety of ways to soothe your baby whether it be for relaxation and fun or to assist with ailments such as constipation, colic etc.
I’ll make you feel supported and looked after with drinks/biscuits and give you a space to literally exhale. I’m a mummy to three young children and I’ve been to many baby classes along the way feeling sleep deprived with a sore back from long nights wanting to meet others going through the same life changing stage at the same time. All this has led me to make this one special class that I’d have loved to go to when I was at this same fuzzy beautiful phase.
Come join me and build a community.
Pop me a message to come and try a taster,

Drinks will be available for grown ups but please bring your own reusable cup. Cups will not be provided so please don’t forget!!
Toilet and baby change facilities will be open – as always, please take nappies away with you to dispose of off site.
