I’ve got something really special to share with you…
After years of supporting families as a hypnobirthing and antenatal teacher, I’m so excited to say that I am now a qualified baby massage teacher – and I’ll soon be bringing my baby massage classes to Rochdale!
This feels like such a natural next step for me. I’ve always been passionate about supporting you to have amazing, positive, empowering births, but then what? I love bumping into clients out and about with their babies, and can’t count the number of times people tell me they wish they could keep coming to Pregnancy Yoga – that they NEED to come back and get that relaxation time, or that confidence boost, or that sense of community.
Well, now you can! I am so excited to be launching baby massage classes, so I can keep supporting you through those early days of motherhood – the ones that are beautiful, emotional, overwhelming, and sometimes just plain exhausting. And that’s exactly where these classes come in.
But I want to be really honest with you…
These aren’t your typical baby massage classes.

When people hear “baby massage class”, they often imagine sitting in a circle on a mat, learning a few strokes, then heading home.
And while yes, you will learn how to confidently massage your baby… these classes are so much more than that.
I’ve created these sessions to feel like a little pocket of calm in your week. A space where you can step out of the chaos of everyday life and into something that feels nurturing, supportive, and just a little bit luxurious.
Think:
- A warm, welcoming space where you can truly relax
- A lovely brew waiting for you when you arrive
- Gentle, friendly conversation (or quiet time if that’s what you need)
- Special touches that make you feel cared for
- An oxytocin rich rich environment to help your hormones (and baby’s) feel balanced (think mini-spa day vibes!)
- A slower pace, where there’s no pressure and no rush
Because here’s the truth…
These classes are just as much about you as they are about your baby.
A power pause…
Motherhood can feel like a constant giving of yourself. Your time, your energy, your sleep, your everything.
So what if, just for an hour, you could pause?
What if you could come somewhere where:
- You don’t have to “be on”
- You don’t have to tidy the house first
- You don’t have to make small talk if you’re too tired
- You can just show up exactly as you are
These classes are designed to feel like a mini spa experience – not in a fancy, intimidating way, but in a warm, comforting, “I can finally breathe” kind of way.
You can sit, connect with your baby, sip your drink, and just be.
Because motherhood is… indescribable
If you’re feeling:
- Completely in love with your baby… but also overwhelmed
- Exhausted… but craving time out of the house
- Lonely… but too tired to socialise
- Confident one minute… and doubting yourself the next
Please know – you are not alone.
And more importantly, this space is for you.
You can come as you are, take what you need from the session, and leave feeling just that little bit lighter.
More than just a class – a full learning experience

Yes, you’ll learn beautiful, calming baby massage techniques… but I’ve designed this as a full journey, not just a weekly class.
You’ll also receive:
- Milestone cards to celebrate your baby
- A certificate of completion (because this matters!)
- Videos and resources so you can continue confidently at home
- Ongoing support as you build your skills and confidence
This isn’t just something nice to attend for an hour each week.
It’s something that stays with you, supports you, and grows with you.
“Is it selfish to choose something for me?”
Let me gently say this…
No. Not at all.
In fact, it’s the opposite.
Because when you feel calmer, more supported, and more like yourself again… your baby feels that too.
Happy mum = happy baby.
These classes are designed with you at the centre for a reason. Because when you are nurtured, everything else flows more easily.
The benefits of baby massage: (if ‘it sounds lovely and I deserve this,’ isn’t enough!)
Baby massage comes with so many incredible benefits – and the best part is, they’re things you’ll notice in your everyday life.
- Stronger bond with your baby
That deep connection you crave? Massage creates uninterrupted time together, helping you feel closer and more in tune with each other. - Understanding your baby’s cues
Isn’t it hard when you don’t know why they’re crying? Through massage, you’ll start to recognise what your baby is trying to tell you – making those tricky moments feel less overwhelming. - Better sleep (yes, really!)
A calmer, more relaxed baby often means longer, more settled sleep… and we all know how life-changing that can feel. - A calmer, more content baby
Gentle massage soothes their nervous system, helping them feel safe, secure, and settled. - Help with colic, wind, and tummy troubles
Those uncomfortable, fussy periods? Specific strokes can help move trapped wind and support digestion – bringing relief for both of you. - Time to slow down together
In a world that can feel rushed, this is your chance to pause, breathe, and simply enjoy your baby. - Boosted confidence as a mum
The more you understand your baby, the more confident you’ll feel in caring for them day to day. - Relief for little aches and discomforts
From teething to general grumbles, massage can be a natural, soothing way to ease discomfort, as it releases endorphins, the body’s natural pain relief. - Support for your baby’s development
Massage stimulates their senses and helps them become more aware of their body and surroundings. - A moment of calm for you
This isn’t just beneficial for your baby – it’s incredibly grounding and relaxing for you too. - Connection with other mums (without pressure)
Gentle chats, shared experiences, and the comfort of knowing others feel the same way you do. - Soft, nourished skin
Using gentle oils keeps your baby’s skin healthy while adding to the sensory experience.
A little oasis of calm in your week
