Lotus Patch

The First Touch Program has been designed for carers and for parents of babies from birth to 1 year of age. The program works around the individual requirements of the baby, including if they are:

• Are healthy and thriving


• Sleep well, or find it hard to settle


• Were born prematurely or had a rough start to life.


• Are active and alert, or quiet and laid back


• Have some additional needs* (If your baby has a serious medical condition or physical disability please check with your specialist or paediatrician first)

In this course you will be provided with the opportunity to learn a number of different ways of using touch and massage to suit your individual preferences, as well as the individual and the ever evolving needs of your growing baby. Not only will you be taught how to utilise touch and massage, but you will also gain confidence in using your voice, movement and other methods of communication to help settle, soothe and communicate with your little one in the way only you can do.

The benefits of this program include:

• Improved sleep


• Improved confidence
