I am Amrit a Certified Infant Massage and Wellbeing for Mothers and Babies Instructor. I teach group and private baby classes in and around North London.
hello, i’m AMRIT, THE FOUNDER OF AMRIT’S BABY MASSAGE & Wellbeing
I am a mother of two active young boys and discovered the IAIM Baby Massage Course with my first child in 2015. Coming from a long line of Indian mothers and grandmothers who massaged their babies, and watching my own younger siblings being massaged, it felt like a natural path for me to follow. I massaged my first daily from 5 weeks to nearly a year old and my youngest whilst not benefiting from having my unidvided attention for quite as long, still loves asking for some baby massage at bedtime.
I loved my own experience of doing the IAIM Baby Massage course with my NCT group back and still fondly remember us following up the course with a regular massage session at one of our homes each week.
In my classes I try to recreate a comfortable and relaxed home from home atmosphere and hope to give new parents the same confidence to massage and play with their babies that Baby Masage gave me.
I started my training and taught my first group class in 2018 and became a Certified Infant Massage Instructor with the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM) in early 2019. Since then I have taught over 100 parents the joy’s of Infant Massage and Story Massage.
More recently I have expanded my offerings to include Wellbeing for Mother’s and Babies and became a certified instructor with Wellbeing International in early 2022. I am also curently in training with StoryMassage.co.uk too so watch this space for courses for toddlers and older children.
Come to one of my classes and let me pamper you for a short while. All babies and families are welcome and if your are not ready to face the world I can also come to you and teach in your home. I hope that it will nourish both parent’s and children’ relationships and facilitate bonding that will last a lifetime.

“Thank you for the class yesterday. It felt like I was being pampered too, it was really lovely.”
— CP, November 2022
“I had the pleasure of attending a private baby massage class with Amrit’s Baby Massage and it was a wonderful experience. The class is entirely baby focused and in a home which is a lovely warm atmosphere. Amrit is very patient and encouraging and her teaching style is very relaxed and welcoming. It was a lovely pampering experience for both my baby and I, there was even homemade cookies and cucumber mint water prepared which was a lovely touch. Happy to recommend Amrit’s Baby Massage classes to anyone looking for a loving experience to share with your baby.”
— DY, July 2021
“Amrit is fantastic – super chilled and a great instructor who not only teaches the massage techniques in a highly accessible way, but also shares her own experiences of being a mum and massaging her two boys. The course is run in her home, a lovely and incredibly relaxed environment – I genuinely looked forward to every session. My daughter and I both loved the course and continue to enjoy its benefits almost daily.”
— EMH, August 2019
“It is a great way to learn a new skill that increases your bond with your baby. Amrit creates a safe and comfortable learning space that focuses on the wellbeing both of the baby and the mum. It is a great place to meet other mothers and there is always time for useful discussion on any parenting topic that is of interest.”
— CB, March 2022
“The environment is very comfortable and relaxing – I felt myself chilling out as soon as I arrived. We were given lovely home made refreshments and made to feel very welcome by Amrit. The massage is a lovely bonding experience with your baby. For me, I also really valued the opportunity to meet up with other Mums. The sessions are long enough to allow time to get to know each other well.”
— AB, February 2020
“A really useful class with benefits for both baby and parent. Amrit delivers a balanced class that allows time for learning the massage routine and techniques and also parenting discussions. The home-based setting is friendly and relaxed.”

My classes cover newborn to 12 months. I have successfully taught new babies as young as 5 days and older babies who were 11 months old when they received their first massage. I do not split my classes into age groups within that year as my groups are small enough to allow all parents and babies to have an enjoyable and relaxing experience.
What types of classes do you offer?
I currently offer two classes. My first is the IAIM 5 Week Baby Massage Course and the follow on course Wellbeing for Mothers and Babies.
How long is each class session?
I allow 90 minutes for each session to give parents plenty of time to settle their babies before and after teaching. I also ensure there is enough time for some group discussion and homemade refreshments.
How many classes are in a session/course?
Each course is made up of 5, 90 minute classes.
Enrollment and Fees
How do I enroll my child in a class?
First complete the Enrolment form on my website and let me know which course you are interested in booking onto. I will respond to you with confirmation as to whether there is space on that course and send you are further information and booking email. Once you have confirmed you wish to book onto the course, please complete the Information Request and make the payment as per the instructions in the email.
What are the fees for your classes?
Fees are charged per 5 week block booking and will be sent out in the Information and Booking email in response to your enquiry.
Do you offer trial classes?
Due to the limited spaces in my groups, as well as the progressive nature of the course, I do not offer trial classes.
What is your refund/cancellation policy?
You can cancel the course at any time up to 1 week (7 days) before the course starts and transfer to another course or obtain a full refund. After this point, a partial refund only is available (less £20 administration fee). Once the course has commenced no refund is available. However, please do contact me to discuss any issues you have attending the course as I am happy to transfer your booking to a subsequent course or consider alternative options. There is no refund for missed classes but you are welcome to make up any missed classes on another day or on a future course that I run at no further cost to you.
If you have booked under a Special Offer, the above applies for both courses together. However, if you decide you only wish to cancel one of the courses and have already completed or plan to complete at least one course, your refund will be the difference between the full price of one course and the Special offer. For example, if you attend only Baby Massage, you will be charged for Baby Massage and will only receive a refund for Wellbeing for Mothers and Babies. To the extent that the cancellation occurs within 7 days of the second course commencing however, the refund will be less an administrative fee of £20 for the second course. Once the second course has started no refund is available.
If I need to cancel a course for any reason at any time before the start of a course, alternative course dates will be offered. If no suitable alternative can be agreed upon, a full refund will be available. If I need to cancel an individual class for any reason on my part, alternative dates will be offered and agreed between the majority of participants attending that course (excluding drop ins or those making up missed classes). If a class needs to be cancelled on the day due to lack of attendance for any reason on a scheduled date (ie 1 or 0 attendees) no alternative date will be offered, but all parties are welcome to attend another scheduled class during the same term or on a future course of the same type.
When making up missed classes, these are allocated based on available free spaces and on a first requested basis. Priority will always be given to those who have paid for that specific course. Classes are limited to 8 people and therefore, attendance must be confirmed in advance before the scheduled class commences, unless otherwise agreed in advance.
Class Preparation
What should I bring to class?
You will need to bring baby’s food, the usual change bag, a changing mat and a small towel/blanket to place between baby and the mat. You are welcome to change babies in the room on the mats I provide but please ensure your own changing mat is placed between baby and my mats for hygiene reasons at all times.
Do I need to stay with my child during the class?
Yes this is a parent and baby classes and the only person massaging your baby will be you.
What should my child wear to class?
I recommend a playsuit for babies. Something that can easily be removed from baby and put back on. Also something that you don’t mind getting a little oil on.
Class Structure and Content
What will me and my child learn in your classes?
Over the course of the 5 weeks we will cover the full body massage routine as well as techniques to help with colic, digestion, sleep and relaxation. The benefits of this infant massage course are many including interaction stimulation, relief and relaxation and it’s a wonderful way to bond with your baby.
Classes are baby led which means that the babies are free to be babies and their needs always come first. Also please be assured the only person massaging your baby will be you.
There will be lots of revision of the strokes over the 5 weeks and I will email you supporting materials after each session to enable you to continue to massage your babies at home. I have dolls available should your baby wish to sleep or you can just watch and try it at home later. I use songs and rhymes to make it interesting and stimulating for the baby. Each week I will share with you some of the theory around baby massage too.
Who are your instructors?
I teach my own classes and am a fully qualified Infant Massage Instructor with the IAIM and a Wellbeing for Mothers and Babies Instructor with Wellbeing International.
