"When a Baby is Born, So is a Parent"
OSHo

Just a little note to say that the massage courses below are as much about you, as your baby. Becoming a parent is an incredible experience but it can take time to adjust. It can feel more challenging to look after yourself whilst adapting to your new role and getting to know your baby, often with very little sleep.

Know that you deserve attention and support and to be reminded that you are the best parent for your baby and are doing a wonderful job.

All our courses aim to empower you with helpful knowledge to assist you during the early days of life with your baby and to support your wellbeing too.

You will have the opportunity to unwind and practise relaxation during each session and enjoy a hot drink and tasty treat whilst chatting with other new parents. The classes are a safe space to share how you are feeling about all things related to motherhood (or fatherhood) and there are no silly questions. Louisa is a mother of three and understands how important it is to have a support network at this wonderful but busy time in life.

Benefits of Baby Massage

One of my favourite ways to end a baby massage session is with bubbles! After a calming and nurturing massage, bubbles add a touch of lightness, fun, and sensory stimulation for your little one.

Your baby will love watching the bubbles float and pop and the experience will support their visual tracking skills, hand-eye coordination, and early social engagement.

For you this is a beautiful moment of connection with your baby, making the massage experience even more special. Coupled with a gorgeous song, it’s a simple yet powerful way to create a lasting memory.

Has your baby enjoyed bubbles yet? Or will their first time be at a nurture and be nurtured baby massage class ? The next ones start in April. Xxx

My babies are my inspiration. Becoming their mummy, going through three very different labour experiences and the life changing time that is postpartum led to this business. I wanted to share the power of hypnobirthing with other parents to be as it had such a profound impact on my second and third babies’ births. Baby massage helped me to gain my confidence and fall in love with being a mum after a difficult start with my firstborn. We bonded and loved every second and enjoyed the massage at home too. After massaging my second baby and helping to ease her severe tummy problems, I found myself wanting to create my own baby massage courses that were unique in offering special experiences that not only focused on baby wellbeing but on supporting new mums too. So in 2020 For Baby For Me was born and as the name suggests our classes are for both you and your baby from preparing for a wonderful birth experience to attending a nurturing baby massage class. So thank you to my three amazing children for leading me to this wonderful work that I now do. Xxxx

I had such a great morning taking photos of some beautiful families yesterday to celebrate an early Mother’s Day. Capturing the generations together and some gorgeous bonding moments was totally delightful .xxx

Love this photo… a mum enjoying her baby (the smile says it all). She has adapted his position because he needed a break from lying down. A nappy is off centre because his needs have been met straight away, phone at the ready to capture the cutest moments. A lovely real example of a day to day moment in our classes. Always relaxed and allowing you to breathe your baby in and always following your baby’s lead throughout. Xx

Baby massage and yoga inspired movement in our nurtured next steps baby classes support your little one’s growing body.

Specially designed larger movements that you will do with your baby can help to develop coordination, balance, and overall physical confidence as your baby grows. Finally the exercise in class boosts baby’s endorphin flow and encourages restorative naps after class 🤞so you might get some time to yourself.

When should I come to your massage class?

Massage can be a lovely place to start when it comes to venturing into the world of baby classes but the ideal time is honestly so unique.

Some new mums really like to get out. The days can feel long, especially if a partner is back at work and the support of a lovely circle of other new mums can be just the tonic.

Others really embrace the newborn bubble and saviour it at home with no intention of rushing.

Others physically can’t imagine being able to get out of the house as they navigate life with a newborn and adjust to life as a parent.

We are all different!!! And there’s no right or wrong.

So my answer is come when you feel ready, when you think your baby will enjoy the nurturing touch of massage.

Consider whether they will be happy to be put down for a little while, how alert they are and the length of time between feeds. Will it all just be a bit too much?

Cuddles, naps and feeds are always part of a class but some people find it disappointing if all their baby wants to do is feed, sleep and cuddle the whole class. Others don’t mind and just learn ready to try again at home. I will always send out recap videos so you can catch up on what you missed. We can adapt the massage so your baby doesn’t feel too overwhelmed!

Equally if you have a slightly older precrawling baby, I can bring extra toys, they can try being massaged in positions that let them look around and be their naturally curious selves. We can make it work.

If you have any questions about when to come to class, just reach out and we can chat it through. Xxxx Don’t miss out on our next round of courses in February. Just a couple of spots left xx

Nurtured Next Steps Massage Course: Relax, Play, and Move Together.

Our Nurtured Next Steps baby course takes the art of baby massage a step further, creating a space in your week to connect with your baby and enjoy relaxing playful time together.

What can you expect?

To learn nurturing massage techniques and simple, gentle stretches for your baby. These moves can help soothe and relax your little one, supporting better sleep, digestion, flexibility, coordination and overall calmness. You can use all of your new skills at home during wide awake time or as part of a relaxing bedtime routine.

Sessions are full of music, songs, and fun developmental activities designed to support your baby’s growth and sensory exploration. Together, we’ll explore playful ways to engage your little one while fostering early milestones in a relaxed environment.

We’ll introduce fun movements like gentle swings and dips that stimulate your baby’s vestibular system—the part of their brain that helps with balance and spatial awareness. This is crucial for physical development, helping babies gain confidence as they move, roll, and eventually crawl or walk.
The
Of course, our sessions also give you the chance to meet other parents, share experiences, and enjoy a well-deserved drink and treat. It’s all about creating a nurturing community where you can unwind, chat, and feel supported.

This course is designed to combine relaxation with meaningful play and connection. Hopefully you’ll walk away with more than just techniques—but lovely memories, new friendships, and tools to help your baby grow and thrive.

Come and join us @mytribe_parentinghub on 16th January at 10am for our next available 4 week course.

Morning, hope you are all doing ok in the snow!

Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself to anyone who doesn’t know me. I’m Louisa, a mum of three, living in West Yorkshire. I started my baby massage and hypnobirthing business back in 2020 and I love it!

Here I am with my eldest daughter, the one who’s birth and breastfeeding journey was a challenging rollercoaster.

The first few weeks with her were a mix of joy, love and gratitude and a difficult recovery, tears, not being able to continue to breastfeed despite wanting to. I also put myself under pressure to do lots to make the most of her!

Going to baby massage class when she was a couple of months old was when things started to fall into place. I realised that I could just slow down, take the time to enjoy the little things, that I knew my own baby so so well already and that we were just learning together.

It didn’t have to be perfect.

I started to relax into motherhood and my confidence grew.

I think the idea that I wanted to help other mums at the beginning of their journey started right there and it grew during my pregnancy and experience of hypnobirthing and a magical birth experience with my second baby. I felt strong and empowered after birth and was able to confidently deal with the challenges of breastfeeding this time.

My focus in my business is helping you to feel supported, cared for and to know that whatever you are feeling and experiencing as you adapt to life with a new baby you are not on your own. Whether it is preparing positively for the best possible birth or coming along to a nurturing massage course, rest assured you will be welcomed into the friendliest non judgmental space and will leave a little lighter, and with lots of handy tips up your sleeve 😉.

If you would like to join a hypnobirthing class or baby massage course with me in 2025 visit the link in my bio for class availability or get in touch.

Feb massage and March hypnobirthing classes are available to book and my Valentine’s special will be announced this week 🥰
