What you learn

The complete massage sequence

A parent's hands massaging a baby's legs and feet

The same nine-part sequence she teaches over four mornings in class — Indian and Swedish strokes, IAIM curriculum, filmed close enough to copy.

For the bad nights

The wind and colic sequence

Two minutes 32 as its own lesson, so at 3am you open one video and start — not a curriculum you have to find your place in.

How you watch it

Easy, bite-sized lessons

A still from the course: a close-up of the arm and hand strokes

Held in one hand, propped against the changing bag, at whatever hour you are awake. No class time to make, no drive across Dubai, and nothing that expires.

Everyone recommends baby massage. Nobody shows you how.

You already know baby massage is a good idea. It has been mentioned by the midwife, the health visitor, your mother, and roughly nine hundred people on Instagram.

So at some point — usually at 3am, usually one-handed, usually with a baby arching and windy on your other arm — you search for it. And you get hundreds of videos, with no way to tell a trained sequence from someone improvising for the algorithm. No order to do them in. No answer to how hard to press, or how to tell when baby has had enough.

The four-week class is the real answer, and you know that too. It is also four fixed mornings, AED 555, a drive across Dubai, and a baby who has agreed to cooperate at 10am on a Tuesday. Some months that is simply not available.

So it stays on the list.

Nine short lessons. The whole massage, start to finish.

01
Welcome and What You NeedFree
Where to do it, what to use, and how to ask a baby's permission before you put a hand on them. Free on this page.
2:19
02
Legs and Feet
The longest lesson and the right place to start — legs are where most babies let you in first.
7:33
03
Arms and Hands
Arms, hands and every finger — including how to tell when your baby has had enough, and how to do it with a baby held against you.
4:27
04
Tummy and Chest
The water wheel, sun and moon, and the “I love you” stroke — direction and pressure for a windy tummy.
3:57
05
Back
Combing, swooping and back circles, with your baby lying across your legs. The calmest few minutes of the routine.
2:56
06
Tummy Time
For the baby who hates tummy time — the back sequence does the same work, in a position he will actually stay in.
2:51
07
Colic and Gas Relief
Its own short routine, for the nights you need it. The same slow strokes, each repeated six times rather than three.
2:32
08
Face and Neck
The gentle face routine most people don't know exists — for a snuffly, congested, end-of-the-day baby.
4:14
09
When to Massage, Consent and Autonomy
Why mid-morning beats bedtime, consent for a baby who can't say yes, and when to leave it for another day.
1:35
Lisa Adair, IBCLC and registered NICU nurse, who teaches the baby massage routine

Meet your teacher, Lisa Adair.

I'm Lisa Adair. I'm an IBCLC — an internationally board certified lactation consultant — and I've been a registered NICU nurse for more than twenty years. These days I also teach parents in Dubai.

I'm accredited by the IAIM, the International Association of Infant Massage, and this is their curriculum: Indian and Swedish strokes, with elements of reflexology and infant yoga. It is the same routine I teach in the four-week class, in the same order, filmed.

I've taught it to a lot of parents in this city who arrived without a mother, a sister or a neighbour to show them. That's most of the reason I filmed it.

What parents say about Lisa’s classes.

“We took a baby massage course with her and it’s something we still use all the time — it became part of our routine and a really special way to connect.”

Laura · in-person baby massage course

“I picked up more than massage techniques. She advises on breastfeeding, weaning, sleep.”

Kelcey · in-person baby massage course

“Covered a lot more tips and techniques than others I’ve done in the past — great value for money.”

Tara · in-person baby massage course
What’s included

The baby massage video course

Lisa's full class routine, filmed. Nine short videos, 32 minutes, yours for good.

The nine-lesson routine
32 minutes, in the exact order Lisa teaches it in class. Indian and Swedish strokes, with elements of reflexology and infant yoga, following the IAIM curriculum she's accredited in.
Every stroke shown close up
Filmed portrait so you can hold your phone in one hand and copy her as you go. Shortest lesson 1:35, longest 7:33 — watch one, do it, come back.
Lifetime access
No schedule to fall behind on and nothing that expires. It's still in your account in six months, when you finally get to it.
The whole AED 149 comes off the in-person class
Book Lisa's four-week course later and it costs you AED 406 instead of AED 555. If the video turns out not to be enough, you have paid nothing extra to end up in the room.
AED 149
One payment. No subscription, nothing to cancel.

Buy the video course and the AED 149 comes off Lisa's in-person baby massage course if you book one within 12 months. One per family. Cohorts do sell out, so the credit doesn't hold you a seat.

Your questions, answered.

Not here? WhatsApp Lisa and ask.

Prefer the in-person class?

The video is the routine. The class is the room — and they're not the same thing.

Four weekly mornings with Lisa. Her hands correcting yours, so you find out you've been pressing too lightly. Other parents going through the identical week. Every question you have about feeding, sleep and weaning answered out loud, because that's what actually happens in a baby massage class. A full-size bottle of Bunji massage oil worth AED 74 to take home. And a WhatsApp group that stays open for good.

AED 555, four weekly classes, babies from 0 to crawling. If you've bought the video course, AED 149 of that comes off.
