What is Baby Shiatsu?

Shiatsu comes from Oriental Medicine; it seeks to balance the body's energy by gently working with energy Meridians and Shiatsu points in the body.

In this course, you will learn a basic introduction to Shiatsu philosophy and how to give a relaxing full body massage to your baby, focusing on the Shiatsu points that will meet your babies needs.

This is a lovely course with lots of songs, shiatsu stretches and sensory stimulation for your baby.

The course is also empowering for parents as each week we do enjoyable exercises for relaxation, grounding and alertness.

What are the benefits?

Shiatsu can help with many common baby ailments such as colic, wind, teething, constipation, breathing issues, hyperactivity, sleep problems, irritability, and hiccoughs.

We include tactile stimulation through massage using different textured items (such as material swatches, soft brush combs, cotton wool) and as such this is a lovely way to promote sensory development in your wee one.

Massaging your baby is also a wonderful way to bond and have fun with your wee one.

What age are these courses for?

This course is suitable for babies from 6 weeks to 12 months and parents or carers. It is particularly rewarding for younger babies, as there is an emphasis in the course on tactile and sensory stimulation. For courses for older children find out about our 'Inspire Kids with Massage' Course

What is the structure of the course?

Run in 6 x 1-hour weekly sessions, the courses are relaxed, informal and a great way to meet other parents and carers, and to give your baby an opportunity to interact with other children.

We currently run courses in Leith and Portobello. Please see below for details of dates and times.
