Welcoming a baby into the world brings joy, wonder – and a desire to connect, soothe, and nurture. At Marlborough House, our Baby Massage Course, led by experienced practitioner Liz Truman, gives caregivers a loving, gentle toolkit to support their baby’s development, wellbeing, and emotional connection.
Why Choose Baby Massage?
Baby massage is an ancient tradition rooted in touch, attunement, and care. When practiced in a calm, baby-led environment, it can:
-
Strengthen parent-baby bonding through skin-to-skin touch
-
Support sleep and relaxation, helping the baby wind down
-
Soothe colic, wind, digestion issues, and teething discomfort
-
Enhance circulation, motor skills, and coordination
-
Foster emotional connection and intuitive communication
-
Empower caregivers with confidence through supported practice
Because the course emphasizes a gentle, responsive approach, every session is guided to respect the baby’s cues and comfort.
About Liz Truman & Her Approach
Liz brings a wealth of experience to her practice:
-
Former nurse, midwife, and teacher, with decades of healthcare and education experience
-
A calm, empathetic style shaped by work in maternity, chronic health support, and holistic therapy

Course Format & What to Expect
Liz’s Baby Massage course runs for 5 consecutive weeks, each session focusing on a different part of the baby’s body, until by week five you’ll have learned a full body massage routine. The course is always paced to suit the baby—it’s baby-led, reassuring, and supportive.
In each session:
-
You remain fully clothed; the baby lies on a mat or towel
-
Organic sunflower oil is provided (suitable for your baby’s skin)
-
You’re invited to feed, soothe, or take breaks as needed
-
You receive handouts to take home and support your at-home practice
Depending on demand, one-to-one sessions may be available upon request.
