Baby Massage and reflexology
Belle's Babies
Bewdley
Hi I'm Hannah and I run Belle's Babies. I am a qualified teacher, baby massage instructor and soon to be baby yoga instructor. I have completed and finishing off my qualification as a mental health well-being practitioner as well. Once I had my daughter I decided to build my own business using the experience I had of teaching in both mainstream and special education, as well as training in other fields to create classes for my local area. Working with children has always been my passion and this also allows me to spend more time with my beautiful daughter.
Belle's Babies is based in Kidderminster and the surrounding areas of the Wyre Forest. We offer antenatal, postnatal, baby massage and stay and play sessions. Baby yoga will be arriving early in 2022.
Belle’s Babies offers group classes, 1-2-1 sessions (virtually or physically) and in the future will be offering drop in social sessions for those who have attended a baby massage course.
Our group sessions are suitable from new born onwards and if needed can be adapted to suit movers. 1-2-1 sessions are suitable for all ages and needs of children and can be adapted to suit individual needs. 1-2-1 sessions can be held at your home or virtually via video call.
Classes are run as a 6 week course covering all aspects of baby massage. Sessions 1-4 cover each area of the body separately with a recap of the previous week. Session 5 is a full run through of the baby massage covering all areas. Session 6 is used as a recap week and social session where we also explore mental well-being of parents and each parent/carer is given a parent well-being pack.
All classes are provided with a starter pack which includes important documents to complete prior to the course, information on what to expect, information on what you need to bring and a free bottle of massage oil to be used in classes and at home.
You will also get access to support from your instructor to ask questions when needed outside classes, including a free video call to support you at home if you require additional support. In addition you can join the closed Facebook group for digital copies of handouts, refresher videos and support.

Hi, my name is Angie. I am a registered midwife, and mother of three who has been working in the NHS most of my adult life. I have been working as a community midwife for the past four years and have had the privilege of caring for many women and their babies throughout their pregnancies, labours and throughout their postnatal.
Baby massage is a wonderful experience for both the mother and babies alike. I believe that every child has a right to feel cherished by the nurturing touch of massage.
I also offer baby massage courses that are run by an accredited massage instructor. This consists of 5 group sessions in order to teach you the principles of how to massage your baby in a friendly and supportive environment.
I will provide you with your own bottle of the purest, cold pressed, and organic baby massage oil to use in our classes and you can take this home to practice with as well. I also provide weekly step by step handouts. I understand at Materonolgy that babies do not always stay quiet and may need feeding etc during the sessions. You may have missed some information or moves and so these will help you to learn the moves going forward. By the way, if there are any questions you have or are not certain just ask. That's what I am there for!

Touch & Move Sessions are a “fusion” of baby massage and baby yoga, with each session tailored to the ages of the babies. Totally baby led sessions – gentle massage and gentle movements.
Touch is all important for a baby’s development – it helps develop brain cells, helps digestion and sleep, and calms babies. As a Hands on Babies Instructor, you will learn various strokes and moves, and show you how to integrate these into gentle routines.
These sessions are not just for the babies, relaxation, movement and breathing techniques are shared with the adults also (time allowing).
