“From 2.5 weeks – 8 months and still loving it! Elkie has created such a warm nurturing space to bond and building confidence in handling our babies.”

Give your baby the best start in life and make new friends with my specially designed 4-week baby massage course.
Baby Massage is a wonderful experience for both parents and baby. More than a pleasurable experience for the participants, evidence shows that loving, touching, nurturing contact between parents and babies has a positive impact on subsequent development.
Small, informal Baby Massage classes are held in Chislehurst, Kent – in a warm, calm and relaxed, clean and softly scented environment to allow you to get away from the stresses and strains of busy life. Bubsandmama provide the perfect way to learn how to massage your baby with plenty of opportunity for one-to-one guidance and support from Elkie, a highly experienced therapist trained by the International Association of Infant Massage. Relax and bond with your baby while meeting other like-minded mums.
Bubsandmama provides a safe and secure space for you to learn this ancient skill of communication, love and respectful listening and it empowers you as a parent, for it gives you the means by which you can become an expert on your own child and therefore can respond according to your baby’s unique needs. They learn what healthy respectful touch is by being massaged and the deep emotional bonds formed in infancy lay a foundation for a lifetime of trust, courage, dependability, faith and love.
Baby massage classes are aimed at babies aged 6 weeks to 6 months but are suitable for any time before the child is moving around. I have previously held a very successful class of 8 month-old non crawlers. Twins, Triplets are welcome so long as you have a family member to help.
Classes run all year round and times are flexible to suit group members. Private classes can be arranged for busy parents or groups of new mums.
Once you have completed the massage course, you can come along to baby yoga classes, you will need to supply your own towel and oil, and I bring the rest! These classes are the most fun and interactive that I run and I of course will supply you all with biscuits and hot drinks. If you wanted to reserve a place after your massage course, please email me on info@bubsandmama.co.uk
Prices: Each 4 week course costs £70 You will be supplied with waterproof mats, fresh towels, a 50ml bottle of complementary organic baby massage oil for you to keep, handouts to support you and read through for discussion and lovely refreshments.
Twins are more than welcome at a cost of £80 for both. I don’t aggree with charging twice!
You need: Any feeds your baby may need in this time, I also recommend you please bring a cardigan or a top worn by you to comfort babies when on the mats, it will help them feel more comfortable and settled. Please wear comfortable clothing and socks as you will remove shoes at the door to ensure the room is clean for your baby.
