Baby Massage Classes

Children instinctively like to touch and be touched. They do not hide their need for physical contact either.

In the first three years of a child’s life, close physical contact with the mother is imperative for a child’s growth and development. From day one, infants rely on the safety of their mother. Connecting through touch, cradling, breastfeeding or in some countries carrying the child on their body.

Many cultures throughout the world massage their babies daily and their baby tends to be stronger and more relaxed. They see touch as a fundamental part of the baby’s emotional health and physical development.

Mariska is a certified infant massage instructor and paediatric consultant, and a member of IMIS. As a former maternity nurse she has great affection for infants and loves teaching parents and seeing them grow in confidence.

Mariska is very warm and friendly, and able to make you feel welcome and relaxed as soon as you meet her. She was extremely thorough in going through the new client questionnaire and asking further questions about health and well being and any issues or concerns before starting the treatment, and genuinely interested in providing you with the best overall treatment possible. Mariska is very attentive working on all your pressure points. Looking forward to my next appointment. Would definitely recommend a treatment with Mariska at Marisage. read less
