In addition, Harmony is a qualified Baby Massage Instructor. After experiencing the benefits of baby massage classes with her first two children, she studied at the Scottish School of Child and Baby Massage, providing both private and group sessions. Classes involve parents or carers learning how to massage their babies through simple, gentle and positive movements, enhancing their babies' emotional and neurological well-being and development. Benefits include improved sleep, reduced stress and crying an enhanced immune system, increased sensory awareness, colic relief, improved digestion, and weight gain for babies born preterm. The classes are a perfect bonding experience with the baby and a great opportunity to meet fellow mums, dads, or carers. Harmony is excited to bring Baby Massage to Align!
