 BABY MASSAGE
For Babies from 4 weeks to one year old
Gill Henderson is an IAIM Baby massage instructor.
IAIM is an international organisation founded by Vimala
McClure in 1982. Vimala McClure was orginally a yoga teacher
who had a life changing experience in India, where she saw a mother
massaging her baby. Although this woman had nothing material to
offer her baby , she was communicating her love to her child
through the loving touch of massage.
'If we hope to create a non-violent world where respect
and kindness replace fear and hatred, we must begin with how we
treat each other at the beginning of life. For that is where our
deepest patterns are set. From these roots grow fear and alienation
- or love and trust.' Suzanne Arms
Over this relaxing 5 week baby led massage course you
will learn how to massage your baby with a combination of
recognised Swedish and Indian massage strokes. There will be
discussion time each week so that parents can learn, share
experiences and support each other while having fun! Massage
strokes are repeated and developed each week, so that by the end of
the course parents will be able to give their baby/babies a full
massage. Handouts of new strokes, massage oil, snacks and drinks
are included in the price.
The course costs £35 and is held in Finaghy Library , which has a free carpark and
underfloor heat.
Learn how to carefully adapt massage strokes as babies
become active through to toddling, school age and adolescence. The
course encourages parents to learn how to relate to their baby's
body language and cries of communication. |
