Baby Massage & Baby Yoga in Ulverston, Barrow & the South Lakes
Welcoming a new baby is one of the most precious times in life – but it can also feel overwhelming. As a doula and nurse based in Ulverston, Cumbria, I’m passionate about supporting families through those early days with nurturing classes in baby massage and baby yoga across Ulverston, Barrow-in-Furness, and the South Lakes.
These gentle practices are more than just classes they’re a beautiful way to strengthen the bond between you and your baby, while supporting their development and giving you space to relax, connect, and meet other local parents.
Why Choose Baby Massage?
Baby massage has been practiced around the world for centuries. In my Ulverston baby massage classes, you’ll learn simple, soothing techniques that:
Ease colic, wind and constipation
Promote deeper, more restful sleep
Support your baby’s digestion and circulation
Release feel-good hormones for parent and baby
Strengthen attachment and emotional bonding
As a trained nurse and doula, I ensure every parent feels confident and supported. Each stroke is explained clearly, with time for questions and reassurance, making the sessions relaxed and enjoyable.
The Benefits of Baby Yoga
Baby yoga is a wonderful way to gently stretch and strengthen your baby’s growing body. In my South Lakes baby yoga sessions, we focus on playful, safe movements combined with songs and rhymes. Benefits include:
Encouraging motor skills and body awareness
Supporting balance and coordination
Calming fussiness and supporting better naps
Building parent confidence in handling and positioning baby
Bringing lots of smiles and laughter!
Parents often tell me baby yoga gives them new ideas for play at home and it’s a lovely way to bond while building your baby’s confidence.
Local Classes in Ulverston & Barrow
I run small, welcoming groups in Ulverston and Barrow-in-Furness, with easy parking and cosy venues perfect for babies and parents alike. Many families travel from Dalton, Askam, and the wider South Lakes to join, making it a great place to meet other new parents in your area.
Classes are kept intentionally small so you get plenty of 1:1 support if you need it. Whether you’re a first-time parent or already juggling toddlers, you’ll find the sessions supportive and inclusive.
Doula & Nurse Support Alongside Classes
Because I work as both a doula and a nurse, I bring a unique mix of professional knowledge and nurturing support. Parents often say they feel reassured knowing that I understand both the emotional side of early parenthood and the practical health aspects of caring for a baby.
This means I can guide you not only through baby massage and baby yoga, but also answer questions about feeding, sleep, recovery after birth, and family wellbeing.
