Our infant nurturing touch massage classes are designed to foster mutual trust and understanding between parent and child. Clinical research has shown that massaging your baby can aid in your infant’s physiological and neurological development and function, and massage helps soothe common discomforts. Baby massage has been shown to assist in reducing symptoms of colic, teething and digestive discomfort. It promotes restful sleep for the infant (and in turn the parents), and increases healthy attachment and bonding. Studies show that children who bond well and feel secure as infants grow to be more confident self-reliant children.
In this playgroup format class, our Certified Pediatric Massage Therapist shows you simple massage techniques that you can use with your baby to improve your infant’s health and wellbeing. This class meets weekly for 4 weeks beginning April 25th and continuing May 2, 9 and 16th.
Class enrollment is limited to 5 babies and their parent(s)/caregivers. This class is for babies from 3 weeks to crawling. (See additional class schedule for Crawlers to Cruisers.)
