Tiny Touch Therapy Baby Massage in Suffolk

  • "I cannot recommend Sarah’s baby massage classes enough! They have been the highlight of my week - a calm space to connect to baby, other mums, and myself. I have learnt so much from Sarah and grown in confidence as a new mum. The massage techniques have been super helpful with sinus and tummy issues."

    — Laura, February 2026

  • "Sarah is fantastic at teaching the massage and always checked in with us, ensuring we understood everything. I’ve used what I have learnt to support my baby with his stomach issues and also through coughs and colds. It’s been great for bonding and connection and I can’t thank Sarah enough!"

    —Beth, December 2025

  • "All the techniques were explained well, I never felt rushed and it didn’t matter at all if my baby needed to stop and feed or have a cuddle or even fell asleep, I felt so comfortable. I particularly enjoyed the attention Sarah paid to Mothers and our wellbeing as well as the babies. You can tell she really cares and puts a lot of thought into each session."

    —Mollie, February 2026

  • "The small class size was perfect and made it easy for everyone to get to know each other in a relaxed, friendly environment. The sessions were well paced, with plenty of time to practise and ask questions, and the little touches like chocolate biscuits were a lovely treat each week!"

    —Sam, December 2025

  • "Sarah is simply Super. Lovely set up - very knowledgeable and would definitely recommend the courses!"

    —Jodie, February 2026

FAQs

  • Yes, gentle baby massage can usually be started from birth, as long as your baby is well, comfortable, and showing they are happy to be touched.

  • Yes. Avoid massage if your baby is unwell, has a fever, has unexplained pain, has broken or irritated skin, or has been advised not to by a health professional.

  • Yes, if your baby was premature, has a medical condition, has skin problems, or you are unsure.

  • Premature babies may need a more individual, developmentally sensitive approach to baby massage. However, as long as your neonatal team/midwife are happy with their progress and they are not otherwise unwell, you can begin to learn to massage them.

  • A soft, warm blanket or towel for your baby to lie on, your changing bag with the usual spare clothes and nappies, and any comforters they might like.

    Mats, oil, and refreshments are provided for you.

  • If you are attending any of my courses or I am coming to you for a private session, I will provide an organic, hypoallergenic oil for you to use on your baby.

    If you have booked a virtual session, you will need to have an oil or baby moisturiser to hand. I will provide more information on booking.

  • Dress your baby in easy-to-remove clothing. When we come to massage them, we remove their clothing to expose the part of the body we are working on, or you can undress them down to their nappy.

  • No problem! I always encourage you to follow your baby’s cues. You can stop, pause, do what you need to do, and pick up again when your baby is ready.

  • I offer a virtual catch-up class if you need to miss a session. However, we do recap the moves we’ve learned each week, so. if this isn’t suitable for you, you can still catch up the next week!

  • I would advise leaving 72 hours after a vaccination before massaging your baby. They may feel poorly (in which case we would never massage them), and the injection site may be tender.

  • Although baby massage has the potential to reduce discomfort for your baby, it cannot cure reflux, constipation, or colic and should never be a substitute for medical treatment.

  • If your baby is already crawling, it would be easier to book a private session where we can try different positions to suit you and your baby as they get on the move!

  • Yes - however, you would need one parent/carer for each baby and would need to book two spaces in the class (I can offer a reduced rate for multiples - please contact me for more information).

    Alternatively, some parents choose to book one spot, and bring one baby one week while leaving the other with a carer at home. They then alternate with the other baby the following week - this gives you some rare one-to-one time with each of your babies!

  • No - baby massage tuition is all about supporting parents/carers to massage their baby. If you think your baby has particular discomfort that needs addressing by a health professional, you should speak to your GP or midwife. A number of osteopaths also specialise in providing hands-on relief for babies via cranial osteopathy.

  • I trained as a Baby Massage Instructor with the London School of Massage, one of the UK’s largest massage training providers.

    The course is only accessible to qualified bodywork therapists and health professionals, and involves face-to-face teaching, extensive coursework, case study work, and teaching assessment.

    It is also accredited by the Federation of Holistic Therapists (of which I am also a member).

    Alongside my training, and my certification as a Massage Therapist, I hold a DBS certificate and certificates in Emergency First Aid and Paediatric First Aid.

  • I am insured through Hiscox Insurance through my membership of the Federation of Holistic Therapists.
