The course is facilitated by Susan Mallon of Moo Music Monaghan and is suitable for babies from 4–6 weeks upwards.
Baby massage is a beautiful opportunity to slow down, connect with your baby and learn techniques that can support relaxation, sleep and digestion — as well as meeting other parents who are on the same wonderful, chaotic and sometimes sleep-deprived journey! 💕

Numbers for each class are limited, allowing for a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of opportunity for individual attention throughout the sessions.

⚠️ Places for the 12 noon class are strictly limited, so if you’d like to join us, get in touch soon!
