What is Bath Babies 

Bath Babies is a water class in little baby baths, where we combine a nurturing touch and sensory discoveries to build special water experiences and connections. The workshops are not a baby spa nor a hygiene bath, but more the perfect introduction to early water experiences for baby, and a supportive experience for the parent*. 

​

Suitable for babies from 6 weeks**, our courses vary from 3 to 5 weeks with special one off workshops available,  each experience lasting around 45 minutes. Classes are kept small, however there is always the option for private or semi private sessions to be held for an even more personal touch. 

​

This is not a standard water class. Bath Babies brings the benefits of baby massage to baby bath time, and helps to create rituals and routines for you and your baby. During the class each baby has their own bath and I will guide parents on how to relax and check in with baby and themselves. Each week the classes have a different theme which will be explored. After their baths there is time for babies to be snuggled, dried off and given a small element of baby massage to encourage parent and baby bonding. 

​

To aid this I aim to create a beautiful holistic environment to calm both baby and you. It allows a wonderful bathing experience plus time to feel, talk and support. 

​

One thing that is very important to me is that I create a special and safe place where you can feel supported and empowered, so I will always signpost to other services for individual needs. It is normal to feel nervous or have questions about guiding your baby into water for the first time. Whether it be questioning the best holds, where and how much support, how to calm baby and settle them in to bath time - I am on there to help and support. Questions are important and we all need to remember its okay to ask them. 

​

This class is a new modality for the water, carefully researched and backed by neuroscience, and written by Aqua Sensory and experts in their fields in the areas of emotional wellbeing, infant massage, attachment, mindfulness and nurture coaching. It is fully approved and insured by the International Institute of Complementary Therapists.

​

* This class is also not just for parents – we welcome caregivers and grandparents too.

** If joining us before 6 weeks please check with your health professional.
