STORY SENSORY
POSITIVE TOUCH
Story Massage combines the benefits of positive touch with the fun and creativity of words – whether as story, rhyme or song.
Our Story Massage courses support your baby's social, emotional as well as their language and communication, learning and development. Each class has a focused learning outcome for your baby and a safe and nurturing environment to support your parenting journey.
We all love stories. When combined with the benefits of simple massage strokes, stories present wonderful opportunities for creative fun and interaction. Sharing positive touch offers great scope for imaginative activity and learning for children of all ages and abilities.
OUR COURSE
What is Story Massage?
The ten strokes can be used on any area that is accessible and appropriate for the person so it can be applied to the shoulders, back, arms, head, face, legs, hands and feet, all areas which are non-intrusive. No oil is used so clothes do not need to be removed. Movements are safe and can be adapted to suit varying personalities and temperaments. Positive touch through storytelling can be especially beneficial for children and adults with additional needs.
We will have themed sessions for the chosen nursery rhyme or story and an opportunity for your baby to explore heuristic play to enhance their learning and development. All scripts and stroke signs will be provided for you to take home and practise. If you have older children you can use it on them too! Story Massage is for all ages.
