MARGOT WILLIAMS

Baby Massage with Margot is a five-week baby massage course designed to support both you and your baby during the early postnatal months. You’ll learn how to massage your baby with confidence, supporting bonding, relaxation, digestion and emotional connection, in a calm and welcoming space where you can show up exactly as you are. 

Classes are always baby-led. You’ll be encouraged to follow your baby’s cues and respond to their needs in the moment. No previous experience is needed, and there’s no expectation for babies to be calm or settled.

Each session begins with a short, guided relaxation to help you arrive and settle, followed by learning massage strokes for a different part of baby’s body each week. After the massage, there is time for a gentle, parent-led discussion — a space to share if you wish, or simply to listen and feel less alone. There is never any pressure to contribute.

We close each class with a short reading or poem, and parents are encouraged to stay afterwards for light refreshments and an opportunity to build connections. 

Baby massage can help to:

• support relaxation and sleep
• ease wind and colic
• promote healthy growth and development

The course is suitable from birth – please feel free to check with you doctor. Massage isn’t practised when babies are sleeping or crying — a doll is always available, or you’re welcome to enjoy the rest with a cuppa.

Included with your booking:

• A 30ml bottle of high-quality massage oil
• Printed massage handouts
• Homemade light refreshments
• One ticket per family (parents of twins and multiples only need to book once)

What to bring:

• A towel and blanket for your baby

Venue:

Classes take place in my home on Catharine Street, CB1. 

Parking and access for wide double prams is limited — please get in touch if you’d like to discuss options.
