    Baby Groups

     

    Baby massage is a gentle, nurturing practice that supports your baby’s physical, emotional, and sensory development. In each session, you’ll learn soothing strokes that help your baby relax, ease tension, and feel deeply connected to you.

    As a mental health Occupational Therapist, I teach baby massage in a calm, baby‑led way — focusing on bonding, regulation, and reading your baby’s cues. Sessions include strokes for the legs, feet, tummy, chest and back, alongside settling techniques, containment holds, and confidence‑building touch.

    Benefits of Baby Massage

    • Supports bonding and attachment
    • Helps soothe colic, wind and constipation
    • Encourages relaxation and better sleep
    • Builds parental confidence
    • Supports sensory and nervous system development

    Baby massage is suitable from birth onwards and is always taught in a warm, supportive environment where feeding, cuddling and pausing are welcome at any time.


     

    Dad's & Baby Massage Sessions - Weekend Morning Session


    A calm, confidence‑building space designed especially for dads. These sessions focus on practical baby massage techniques, soothing strategies, and understanding baby cues — all taught in a relaxed, supportive environment.

    Dads learn:

    • Safe, effective massage strokes
    • How to soothe and settle their baby
    • Confidence in handling and bonding
    • Techniques to support sleep and relaxation

    These sessions are ideal for dads who want dedicated bonding time, hands‑on learning, and a welcoming space to ask questions.

    About Restful Beginnings

     

    I’m Ceridwen, an experienced mental health Occupational Therapist, and I help overwhelmed minds and bodies find calm, rest, and balance. My work blends professional expertise with a gentle, holistic approach, using massage, breathwork, sound therapy and guided rest to support your nervous system and overall wellbeing.

    Over the years, I’ve worked extensively in older persons mental health, adult mental health and women’s mental and physical health, supporting people through anxiety, overwhelm, sleep challenges, life transitions, neurodiversity and the physical and emotional shifts that come with change. This experience taught me that true wellbeing comes not just from understanding or insight, but from feeling safe, regulated and connected in the body.

    Through Restful Beginnings, I bring this understanding into a calm, supportive space where adults can slow down, release tension, and reconnect with their body and mind. My approach is trauma-informed, personalised, and focused on creating the conditions for your nervous system to settle — allowing clarity, ease, and restoration to emerge naturally.
