My courses are perfect for babies aged from around 6 weeks to crawling. That’s the sweet spot for learning massage in a class environment and enjoying a dedicated bonding ritual before they become more mobile.

That’s completely normal - and expected! My classes are baby-led, and mother-centred which means you’re encouraged to respond to your baby’s needs however you need to. You can feed, cuddle, rock, or just watch. I repeat strokes each week and provide a massage guide so you can practice at home when your baby is most receptive. The aim is to absorb as much as possible in class but then embed the ritual at home in a way that works for you both.

Each course runs for 5 weeks, with one 1-hour class per week. You’ll learn a full-body baby massage sequence in stages, plus:

• A printed massage guide (in-person) or downloadable PDF (online)

• A bottle of baby-safe massage oil (in-person)

• Weekly discussions around early parenthood and bonding

• Gentle relaxation exercises for parents

• Access to a private WhatsApp community for support, resources and encouragement between classes

• Time to connect with other mums in a warm, supportive space.

You’ll learn a complete sequence of soothing strokes to practice with your baby, plus how to adapt the strokes as your baby grows. You’ll also explore:

• How to understand your baby’s cues and behavioural states

• The best time for baby massage for you and your baby

• How to nurture your own nervous system alongside your baby’s

• Gentle settling techniques, rhythm-building, and ways to support your baby beyond massage

• Weekly reflection discussions to support your parenting journey.

That’s more common than you might think - and this course is a gentle, supportive way to build that bond in a safe and non-judgemental space. Through nurturing touch and presence, baby massage can help you feel more attuned, confident, and connected, even if bonding has felt difficult so far.

In-person courses are mother-centered but I do occasionally have Dads join and they are most welcome. The in-person courses are purchased for one parent and baby but, space permitting, I welcome partners to drop in for a session if they are keen.

For online courses, both parents are welcome to join live, and the techniques can be easily practised and revised together via replays.

Life with a baby is unpredictable - I get it! If you miss a session, you’ll always get a chance to revise the new strokes at the following class. I also offer the opportunity to catch up with me before or after class the following week.

For online courses, replays are available for a limited time, so you can catch up at your own pace.

Both courses teach the same massage sequence, guided live by me. The key differences:

• In-person courses are held in Sydney with small group sizes, homemade treats, printed guides, oil included in and a calm, cosy space.

• Online courses are accessible Australia-wide, include a digital guide and additional resources and class recordings will continue to be available as a replay for a limited time.

Absolutely! If you’re expecting and want to join a future round, add your name to the waitlist to be the first to hear about upcoming in-person and online courses. It’s a lovely thing to plan ahead for in your postpartum and classes book out quickly.

Yes! For in-person classes, if you are coming with a support person to massage both twins at the same time (booking two places on the mat) please get in touch for my twin rate via mazz@thebondwellbeing.com. If you are planning on massaging just one of the twins at each class (booking one place on the mat) then the regular price applies. You may still want to come with a support person who can hold the other twin while you massage.

For online, there is no difference in cost. This is a great option for twin mums struggling to leave the house or without an extra pair of hands to help out at the in person classes.

Absolutely! People often purchase a gift voucher for friends, family or colleagues. Please get in touch with me directly via mazz@thebondwellbeing.com to organise payment for the digital voucher. They are valid for 6 months and once purchased your recipient can simply get in touch once they are ready to book a class.
