BOOK BABY MASSAGE

Baby Massage

Massage and Yoga are practical ways of communicating love and affection to your baby. Baby Massage will help you and your baby relax together, and Mum&Baby Yoga will show you safe ways to move and exercise together.

Hi, I’m Elaine! I am a mum of three with over 15 years experience and certified in Baby Massage with Baby Massage Ireland since 2013 and Mother and Baby Yoga with Birthlight.

As a certified Postnatal Doula I am passionate about supporting the postnatal time in a woman’s life. We undergo so many changes, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, but we seldom hear of the concept of Matrescence, the process of becoming a mother.

I hope to create a space where mothers can feel supported as they go through this process, through Baby Massage and Mum & Baby Yoga.

My classes are baby led, so if your baby cries, sleeps or feeds all through class - it’s all ok! This class is as much for mams too, there’s always time to chat and share tips.

By joining Yoga Mammas, you’re joining a community of like minded mammas with babies similar age. You’re joining a new tribe of friends.

As I am a certified member of Baby Massage Ireland course fees maybe refunded by your healthcare insurer.

“ I thought the Baby Massage class it was great, I enjoyed it from start to finish. I felt the starting point of going around the room really gives the sentiment of a shared safe place. I think it’s invaluable to allow everyone to be honest and open & seek advice. Everyone always asks about baby, no one ever asks how mams are doing and it warmed my heart seeing everyone get the opportunity to be speak and be listened to.
Reuben loved the massage, he slept so well after. I’ve been using the I Love You regularly when changing nappy. I intend to introduce the leg massages as part of bedtime in the coming days.”

    Yoga Mammas Baby Massage class is a baby led class, created to help you and baby relax, enhance your bond, create friendships, find a community of like minded mums. It’s ok if your baby cries, we are here to support you on your mothering journey. Most mums continue into Mum&Baby Yoga when they have graduated from Massage

  • These are baby led classes and crying is welcomed and accepted. All babies cry!  This is how they communicate. Classes are entirely “baby led” and you are encouraged to tend to your baby’s needs in whatever way you need  to by feeding, changing, walking around etc. while class is going on.

  • I love having mammas with twins in class! At Yoga Mammas there is no additional charge to bring twins. Very often, it turns out that one baby sleeps through the class, giving you time to massage your other baby, or if they are both awake at the same time, you might choose to massage them in turn. There is so much to see and hear, with all the other babies in the room, that the baby who is not being massaged has plenty to look at and keep them entertained!

    As a first-time mum I was worried about attending the classes with my twins on my own, but Elaine made me feel really comfortable from the moment I contacted her. With her encouragement and support myself and my girls had an amazing stress-free experience. I was expecting just a class but found much more! I had the opportunity to learn and share with and from other mums, which is really important to me. I highly recommend to all twin-mammas ~ Luz
