Throughout the course, you'll learn to recognise and respond to your baby's unique cues, discovering how nurturing touch can become a meaningful way to support connection, relaxation, and wellbeing.
Alongside a complete baby massage routine, you'll also learn gentle basic baby yoga exercises, key guidelines, and practical advice to help you confidently continue practising at home.

The Flow Balance Baby Massage Method is a registered baby massage method in the Netherlands, developed by Babymassage Nederland. Drawing on over 20 years of experience, the method was created to offer a gentle, responsive approach that recognises every baby as an individual.
Rather than following a fixed sequence of techniques, the method encourages parents to observe, listen to, and respond to their baby's unique cues. It focuses on creating a calm, baby-led experience that nurtures connection, relaxation, and confidence for both parent and baby.
Combined with gentle baby yoga exercises, the method offers a natural and enjoyable way to incorporate nurturing touch into your family's everyday routine.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Baby massage is suitable for most babies. If your baby has a medical condition or you have any concerns, please feel free to contact me before booking. I'll be happy to discuss whether the course is suitable for you and your baby.
-
The Private Baby Massage Course is suitable from approximately two weeks of age until your baby becomes mobile, around the time they begin to crawl.
Because the sessions take place in the calm and familiar environment of your own home, they can be tailored to your baby’s individual pace and needs.

Baby massage is intended to be a calm and enjoyable experience for your baby. If your baby has a fever, is unwell, or is not feeling themselves, it is best to postpone the session.
After vaccinations, it is recommended to wait at least 48 hours before massage and only continue when your baby is feeling well and comfortable again.
If you are unsure whether your baby is ready for a session, please feel free to contact me. Your baby's wellbeing always comes first.

Your baby will be undressed to their nappy during the massage. The room should be comfortably warm – ideally around 23°C.

That's completely normal. Every session is baby-led, so we always follow your baby's needs and take breaks whenever necessary. There is never any pressure to complete the massage.
I'll bring a demonstration doll to each session, allowing you to continue learning the techniques while your baby feeds, rests, or simply enjoys a cuddle. When your baby is ready, you can practise at a pace that feels comfortable for you both.

Absolutely. Partners, grandparents, or another regular caregiver are very welcome to join the sessions. To keep the sessions relaxed and interactive, I recommend a maximum of two caregivers attending the course.
