Baby massage is a service provided for parents and guardians of babies from newborn to pre-crawling.
These classes are designed to facilitate you with a combination of swedish massage, Indian massage, reflexology and yoga techniques for your baby.
Each course is held over 4/5 week period, each class lasting 90mins to 2hours.
During the class these techniques are demonstrated on a doll while you, the caregiver, carries these techniques on your baby.
Classes are up to 100% reclaimable through VHI, Quinn & Hibernian, depending on your policy.
There are a variety of instructors in the Mayo area so you should be able to join a class in your local area.
One to one house calls are also availble for parents who would prefer this service or if you find it difficult to travel, especially after a ceserian section.
