🌀This week in baby massage class we had a wonderful conversation about supporting our needs and babies needs and what this looks like.

🎶We chatted about the noise on social media and the pressure to be all loving, all emotional, physically, socially available all the time and the unrealistic expectation of this.

🚪We opened the conversation of meeting our own needs while supporting a little teeny tiny human.

🌳We chatted all things nature Vs nurture and all about the 💃 dance of personalities.

🍋it was refreshing to life the lid on pendulum effect above and honouring that it isn’t a spectrum rather an ever changing pendulum and dance between parents and babies that builds bonds and attachments and life long little friendships 🥰

🗣️We could have stayed in that room all day and changed the world 🌎

❓What are the classes about?
The classes are about early movement and sensory development and how to support as the baby grows. The first hour is movement and games to support development and then a talk incorporated into this. Then 30 mins for tea and chats ☕️

A little insight from lived experience of the pre crawlers classes

A small side step into baby classes before I continue on with OT intervention using ponies… it all merges under the Occupational Therapy umbrella, whether we work inside in the clinic room or outside in the equine environment ❤️

🙂First up will be emotional, sensory, behavioural regulation whatever you want to call it. I like to call it happiness.

A group of parents and their babies come together to learn a unique set of skills to encourage optimum movement, fun and development for their pre-crawling baby.
The focus of the class is to encourage development from an Occupational Therapy perspective using movement, play and education.

The 5 week class aims to equip parents with:
✔️ Evidence-based advice and strategies on the “8 phases” of assisting baby to move in and out of positions depending on their motor ability and sensory preferences.
✔️Each week will cover different topics related to child development from an Occupational Therapy perspective
✔️The importance of “movement medicine” and how to incorporate healthy movement and play into activities of daily living with your baby
✔️Tea/coffee, cake and chats while your little one sleeps after a busy morning of movement and play.

⏰Each class lasts around 90mins (some days I ask questions that take the whole day to answer. Some days I ask questions as part of research. And some tea and coffee sessions are used as focus groups! 😂🙈)

🫔For more information please have a look at the link in my bio and DM me or email me to secure your place.

💶Some of the cost of the classes can be redeemed by health insurance depending on your plan and Occupational Therapy cover.
