Baby massage can create an embodied connection between you and your baby. It includes the most critical elements of bonding: eye to eye contact, skin to skin contact, soothing sounds, smiling, cuddling, smelling and hearing each other.
​
The benefits* of baby massage are endless, including for example stimulation of baby's immune system, reduced cortisol and increased oxytocin production in both baby and parent, it helps remove gas and stimulates digestion, increases parent's confidence, promotes relaxation, can improve sleep, and more.
​
In four weeks you learn massage techniques that are easy to repeat at home, in a cosy and relaxing setting.

Practical info
​
Ville Ting is a playroom and a place for small children and adults, inspired by nature. The baby massage course will take place in a separate room. This is a shoe-free area where you need to wear socks.
Free parking is largely available right in front of Ville Ting.​
Mariero train station is close by.
​
There is plenty of space to place your baby wagon inside.
​
We start at 10:00. The whole gathering takes approximately one hour, but generally babies don't like to be massaged for much longer then 40 min, so we won't massage the full hour.
After the course you can stay around at Ville Ting. You can bring your own food and eat it there if you like.
​
There is not a minimum or maximum age applicable for baby massage.
​
The maximum amount of participants is 10 parents with babies. If we receive less than 5 registrations, we might cancel the course and provide you with a refund or alternative.
​
The course fee is non-refundable. If you are unable to attend, it is allowed to give your spot to a friend (pls inform me).
