Cuddle & Connect

Every cuddle strengthens your bond. Every play sparks discovery.

Have you ever noticed how your baby lights up with just a gentle touch or the sparkle of something new? Babies are born curious, and those early moments of connection shape not only their development but also the bond you share. That’s where Cuddle & Connect comes in.

These classes are a beautiful blend of baby massage and sensory play – created to give you and your little one calm, joyful moments together. Each week, you’ll learn simple, soothing massage techniques that can help your baby relax, sleep better, and even ease colic or tummy troubles. Alongside this, you’ll dive into playful sensory activities – bubbles, colours, textures, music, and movement – that spark curiosity and gently support your baby’s brain and body development.

But it’s not just about the babies. These classes are about you too. You’ll find a warm, welcoming space to pause, slow down, and connect – both with your baby and with other parents who “get it.”

What to Expect

  • A new massage focus each week (legs, tummy, arms, feet, chest, back).

  • Playful sensory themes like Rainbow Colours, Nature Adventure, and Starry Night.

  • Time for bonding, giggles, and gentle exploration.

  • A friendly group of parents to share the journey with.

FAQs – Cuddle & Connect Baby Massage & Sensory Play.

  • Cuddle & Connect is designed for babies from newborn to crawling. Once babies are on the move, they’re ready for different kinds of play, so this class is focused on those early weeks and months where bonding, massage, and gentle sensory exploration are most beneficial.

  • Not at all! I’ll guide you step by step. Each week you’ll learn simple, soothing massage techniques — by the end of the course, you’ll know a full baby massage routine.

  • That’s completely normal (and expected!). Please feel free to stop, feed, cuddle, or change your baby whenever they need you. The sessions are relaxed and flexible.

  • Bring a soft blanket or mat for your baby to lie on, and anything that helps them feel comfortable (like a favourite toy). I provide all sensory equipment and props.

  • Yes, baby massage is safe, gentle, and has many benefits. You’ll be shown the correct strokes, and I’ll always remind you to follow your baby’s cues. If your baby has any medical conditions, just let me know beforehand.

  • Baby massage can:

    • Ease colic and tummy troubles

    • Help with relaxation and sleep

    • Improve circulation and muscle tone

    • Support bonding and attachment

    • Boost your confidence as a parent

  • Sensory play helps your baby’s brain and body develop. Through colours, textures, sounds, and movement, babies learn to explore, focus, and make sense of the world around them.

  • Each class runs for 50–60 minutes, which is the perfect balance of engagement and downtime for babies.

  • You’re welcome to join casually for $25 per session, but most parents choose the 6-week term for $120. Booking a term gives you the full experience — each week builds on the last as you learn new massage strokes and explore different sensory themes, while also giving you and your baby a consistent space to bond, connect, and grow. Plus, you’ll secure your spot and save a little too.

  • Yes! These classes aren’t just about babies — they’re also a chance for you to connect with other parents in a warm, supportive environment.

  • Life with a baby can be unpredictable, and I completely understand. If you miss a class, I’ll make sure you still receive the week’s parent handout so you don’t miss out on the massage strokes and sensory play ideas. Where possible, I’ll also offer you the chance to make up the session in another class (subject to availability).
