Why Infant Massage
Infant massage is a gift of love. Babies and parents receive life-time benefits. Infant massage is a wonderfully simple technique for parents to learn. It is a parenting practice that has been used by Mothers throughout the ages. More recently, fathers are taking an active involvement in learning the technique.
Infant massage is positive interaction between caregiver and infant using systematic manual manipulation of soft tissues of the body. Techniques include movements such as rubbing, kneading, pressing, rolling for therapeutic purposes.
The therapeutic purposes may include promoting circulation of the blood and lymphatic systems, relaxation of muscles, relief of pain, restoration of metabolic balance, and spending quality one-on-one time with baby.
It is never too late to begin infant massage. My classes are for infants from age 0 to toddlers age 3. I offer them in a 4 week format to ensure that each caregiver has time in between to practice. This builds confidence and ensures that they will continue offering this wonderful gift of touch long after the classes are over. I encourage groups, but will also work individually or with couples. My prices are affordable.
Please call for class times and dates.
