Mamafit Cantienica®

From our many years of experience as midwives, we know that ten hours of rehabilitation is simply not enough. Unfortunately the likelihood that women will exercise regularly seems to be very low, especially in the first few months after birth. Even at home, very few find the time to implement the exercises from their postnatal rehabilitation. We are often contacted by women who have problems with their pelvic floor many months or years after birth. We offer you the opportunity to continue your practice once a week on a regular basis. You may bring your baby with you. You can buy a 5 or 10 class card used within a time period. It is not a problem if you can’t come as this is an ongoing course.

Babymassage

When children are small, give them roots, when they are big, give them wings.

Babies have a genuine need for touch, warmth and love. We can gently welcome our babies into the world with gentle massages. Through intentional touch, the bond and trust between you and your baby is deepened and strengthened. The massage brings a sense of harmony so that your child may find a calmer sleep, and relief from gas, colic or teething.

In a small group you will learn gentle and respectful stroking massage as well as relaxation techniques for you and your baby. The course consists of 6 meetings that are 1.5 hours each. Babies should be at least 6 weeks old or not yet able to crawl.

Fenkid Playgroup

This course is offered for parents with babies from roughly 3-12 months. By strengthening their intuition, parents may explore the space to develop self competence. Find your OWN way! In small groups parents will find time for exchange and suggestions. Simultaneously the babies exist in a space where they may explore and follow their impulses for movement. There will be songs and rocking games, various “research materials” as well as information and exchange on relevant parenting topics. A  foundation of Fenkid is that the babies do not need encouragement for their own play. Each child makes his or her own experience at his or her own stage of development. As the parents we are here to observe and accompany our child in a mindful and respectful way. Join as we flow through the lenses of Emmi Pikler,M. Montessori and J. Jules.
