Basking Babies Epping, Harlow & Stortford

EPPING MAMAS — September classes are coming 🤍

Those early months with your baby are so precious, but they can also feel like a whirlwind. Our classes give you a little space each week to slow down, connect with your baby and spend time with other local mums who are navigating this season too.

🌿 Baby Massage — from 15th September
Learn gentle massage techniques to support bonding, relaxation, digestion and sleep, while growing your confidence in understanding and responding to your baby.

🧘‍♀️ Baby Yoga — from 22nd September
As your little one becomes more alert and curious, enjoy gentle movement, stretches, songs and sensory play designed to support their developing strength and coordination — with plenty of connection and fun along the way.

Everything is relaxed and baby-led. There’s always time for a feed, cuddle, nappy change or simply a moment together whenever your little one needs it. 🤍

📍 Jack Silley Pavilion, Epping

September bookings are now open 🦋
Come and spend a little time each week simply enjoying your baby.

I completely get it 🤍

Whether you’re a first-time mum or you’ve done the newborn stage before, getting out of the house with a baby can feel like a LOT.

What if they cry? What if they need feeding? What if there’s a full-blown nappy explosion the second you arrive? What if everyone already knows each other?

I promise you, we get it. Our classes are completely baby-led — feeds, cuddles, crying, naps and nappy changes are all part of it. There’s no judgement and absolutely no expectation for your baby to behave a certain way.

Think of Basking Babies as your little home from home. A warm, calm space to bond with your baby, build your confidence and meet other mums who probably had exactly the same worries before their first class too.

Come and experience a little bit of the Basking Babies magic 🤍

What actually is baby massage? 🤍

Baby massage is so much more than learning a few lovely strokes.

It’s dedicated time to slow everything down, tune into your baby and learn to communicate through positive, nurturing touch.

Through our Basking Babies classes, you’ll learn gentle massage techniques that can help to:

🤍 Support relaxation and settling
🤍 Ease common digestive discomforts such as wind and constipation
🤍 Encourage better sleep
🤍 Build confidence in understanding your baby’s cues
🤍 Strengthen that all-important bond between you and your baby
🤍 Give you space to slow down, connect and meet other mums

And perhaps most importantly, these aren’t just techniques for the classroom. They’re practical tools you can take home and weave into everyday life with your baby.

Because baby massage isn’t really about creating the perfect routine.

It’s about connection, confidence and learning your baby. 🤍

Our September classes are now booking across Epping, Harlow & Bishop’s Stortford 💜

📢 WE’RE GROWING! 📢

I am SO excited to finally share that Basking Babies Epping, Harlow & Bishop’s Stortford is growing… and to introduce the gorgeous & wonderful Ellie 🤍

Ellie is joining our team as a Basking Babies Instructor and genuinely is one of the loveliest humans you could ever meet. She already has lots of experience running Basking Babies classes, so I know our mamas and babies are going to absolutely love her.

Later this Autumn, Ellie will be taking over our Great Dunmow classes (keep your eyes peeled 👀 — new classes coming soon!), but you’ll also see her popping up in some of our September classes, and we cannot WAIT for you to meet her.

A little hello from Ellie…

“Hi everyone!

I’m Ellie. I’m a mum to a wonderful little girl and dreamy little boy.

I love the simple things — a strong cuppa, a chat and a walk outside. Fresh air worked wonders for me as a new mum, and still does 3½ years later!

I’m also a qualified antenatal educator.

It’s such a joy being a Basking Babies instructor. My classes are a safe and welcoming space — a time for you and your baby to bond, connect with others on their motherhood journey (with plenty of treats too!).

I can’t wait to meet you!

We’re so lucky to have her 🤍

Go and give Ellie a follow over at .0 and make her feel very welcome!

And Great Dunmow mamas… watch this space 👀

One of my favourite little touches... 🤍

Every family receives a bottle of our beautiful Basking Babies massage oil to use throughout the course and take home with them.

It's all part of creating a calm, relaxing experience for you and your baby from the moment you walk through the door.

So much growth... 🤍

When we look back at week one compared to our final class, it's incredible to see just how much changes in such a short space of time.

Of course, our babies have grown—stronger, more curious and discovering something new every single week.

But it's not just the babies who grow.

Over the course of a term, I watch parents settle into their new role, grow in confidence, trust their instincts a little more, and find comfort in knowing they're not navigating this chapter alone.

These early weeks pass by so quickly, and it's such a privilege to witness this beautiful season of growth for every family who walks through the door.

Thank you for letting me be a small part of your journey. 💜🤍

"Not just for my baby, but also for me."

The greatest compliment I could receive. 🤍

Our classes are about so much more than baby massage and baby yoga—they're about finding your village, building confidence and supporting both you and your little one.

Thank you for this beautiful review. 🥹💕
