FOR THE LITTLE ONE WHO DESERVES THE BEST
A Lovely Way to Spend Quality Time with your Baby
This nurturing and gentle treatment uses very gentle massage techniques and soothing touch to help develop the precious bond between parent and child.
Nurturing touch plays a vital role in infant development and care. We understand the importance of this, which is why our infant massages are used to encourage both comfort and relaxation.
They can also provide opportunities for bonding and communication so that you can become more attuned to your baby’s cues and needs.
Root & Rise offer a calm, safe environment where your baby can feel secure and enjoy positive physical contact.

What you and your little one Recieve
Parent / Baby Bonding
Regular nurturing touch supports with the emotional connection to your baby, as well as trust and closeness.
Relaxation & Calm
These treatments help your baby feel settled and comforted, especially helpful during periods of change.

Create moments of real connection together
Why Choose Root & Rise?
Because I know what it feels like to lose yourself.
To keep pushing through exhaustion. To feel disconnected from your body. To carry grief, hormonal shifts, stress, burnout, or the invisible weight that midlife can bring. I also know what it feels like to slowly come back to yourself.
Root & Rise is being created as a space where women can finally exhale. A place for deep rest, nervous system support, healing, and reconnection - where you don’t have to explain everything you’re carrying. Here, your body gets to feel safe again.
This is so much more than surface level self care.
It is the deep sigh your body has been craving.
Lovely words from past clients
“Baby massage is a great way to bond with your baby and learn more about what they like and enables you to feel rebalanced with them. Nicole provided a comfortable, quiet environment where I felt safe to share massage time with my baby. I loved the one on one attention that enabled me to bond with him and I learnt that he is happiest when his lower body is played with and massaged”
“Thanks for everything Nicole, we both really enjoyed our sessions and highly reccomend your classes!”
-Natalie Taylor
“Nicole is amazing! I had a really tough time in the beginning with my daughter, it helped by giving me some structure, it helped me grow with my daughter and little did I know it was the start of my every growing bond with her. It was a calm safe space to be able to discuss and talk through issues as a mum with other fellow mums and the support from Nicole.”
-Becky Whelan
FAQ:
-
Loose and comfortable clothing that can be removed easily. Comfort is key!
-
This is completely normal and we will work through it! As sessions are baby-led, their comfort is my priority.
-
It is recommended by IAIM to use a cold pressed vegetable oil, as this is edible and allows the baby to smell the mother as opposed to perfumed oil
-
You can still use cold pressed vegetable oil, but if you would prefer you are able to use your baby’s Eczema creams prescribed by the G.P
