Gentle Hands Baby Massage offers professional infant massage sessions designed to foster bonding, relaxation, and overall well-being for babies and their parents.
Baby massage can help soothe and calm your baby, improve sleep patterns, aid digestion, boost circulation, and enhance parent-child bonding.
You can begin gentle massage techniques from birth. It’s important to adjust the pressure and duration to suit your baby’s comfort and developmental stage.
Each session typically runs for around 60 minutes, allowing time for demonstration, hands-on practice, and addressing any questions you might have.
Please bring a soft towel or blanket for your baby to lie on, along with any personal items your baby might need during the session.
Absolutely! Both parents or carers are welcome to attend and participate in sessions to strengthen family bonds. One parent can massage the baby, while the other can observe or practice on a doll.
Our sessions are baby-led and flexible. You’re free to stop and tend to your baby’s needs, whether it’s feeding, changing, or comforting.
Yes, the techniques taught are gentle and safe for most babies. However, if your baby has specific health concerns, we recommend seeking advice from your GP or paediatrician before attending.

Sessions are held in Langwarrin and Frankston South, with an option for in-home sessions depending on availability. Please contact us for details.
