Whether you're just getting the hang of being a new parent or simply welcoming a new addition into your ever-growing family, massaging your baby is an experience that you will feel blessed to bring home.
Infant massage is one of the most valuable gifts that you can give to yourself and your child. Massaging your baby will strengthen the bonds between you while fostering a deep sense of security and self worth within your child.
The art of infant massage is easy and fun to learn. The course is offered in a three session series and taught in an intimate setting with up to five couples and their babies. You will learn to help your baby relax and release stress under the warmth of your own hands while applying specific strokes for a full body massage including the abdomen, chest, face and back. Moms and dads are equally encouraged to come and learn how to massage their babies!
Not only are you learning how to communicate your love through nurturing touch, you are fostering a deep sense of security and self worth within your child that will last a lifetime.
