Infant Massage (3 week class)
In our baby massage class, parents will learn how to harness the full potential of nurturing touch for their baby. Parents will acquire specific massage skills such as proper rhythm, pressure, and positioning. Each week, parents will learn strokes and techniques to address a different part of their infant’s body, and, over the course of the four week session, both parents and babies will become more comfortable and familiar with the routine of daily massage.
Infant massage is an ancient tradition that encourages bonding and communication between a parent and baby. In addition, infant massage can promote extensive health benefits that can last a lifetime.
