‘Now We Are Home’

Baby Massage, Baby Development & Connection

The ‘Now We Are Home’ program offers families both individual and group based therapy services. Its aim is to give you the confidence and expertise in how to support your baby’s development after a challenging start, whilst nurturing the very important relationship between you. The program uses the Brazelton approach to help you understand your baby's strengths, assess how sensory experiences in the NICU may influence development, and provides strategies to reduce any negative impact.

The program starts with an initial home visit, focusing on just you and your baby, talking all things settling, sleep, feeding and building your relationship together. We help you make up a plan to give you and your baby the best possible start.

It is followed by a weekly baby group program, with other families who understand your journey. You’ll learn baby massage to deepen your bond with your little one through soothing touch. You'll also receive valuable insights into your baby's overall development, empowering you to engage in enriching activities together.

The program aims at providing a comprehensive, individualised service that equips you with reliable information from a developmental specialist, practical tools and tips to promote your baby’s unique development, acknowledgement and support for your mental and emotional well being, whilst surrounding you with others who understand your unique experiences.

Initial consultations are available at home or via video call.

Telehealth appointments and baby massage group sessions are available for those families in rural areas where services may be limited.
