Member Profile

My name is Chloe and I am a baby massage instructor and qualified with the International Association of Infant Massage in 2017. I am also a mum of two girls and a massage therapist. My children, now 11 and 13, love to be massaged and the one of one time this provides. The baby massage classes teach a skill for life and a way of keeping a close bond with your child.

I love teaching baby massage and opportunity to share massage with parents, so that it can become a part of their and their child's daily lives. I enjoy supporting families through what can be challenging, as well as wonderful, times.

Classes are informal, relaxed and fun. They are run from a garden studio in Forest Hill. Each class lasts for 90 minutes, including some time for informal chat and refreshments. There are five classes in a course. Each week we learn to massage a new body part building up to the full routine by week five. There is also time for relaxation, theory and discussion in every class.

The IAIM massage course draws on both Indian and Swedish massage traditions as well as incorporating principles from reflexology and yoga. The gentle movements taught help align the spine and support co-ordination and balance

Massaging your baby deepens the bond between you both. It provides a wonderful opportunity for expressing your love whilst also meeting the high need for touch that is essential of the healthy development of all babies. A baby who is touched and massaged in a loving way will feel respected and valued and therefore develop a stronger sense of their own identity and self worth. For parents, it can help with a better understanding of their baby and a greater confidence in meeting their baby’s needs.
