Infant massage is a combination of Indian and Swedish massage strokes and presses that release tension and stimulate circulation toward the heart. Like an adult massage, it provides a relaxing and positive touch experience, soothing areas of discomfort and activating nerve endings for growth and development. For babies, infant massage is an opportunity to become intimately acquainted with the smell and touch of your skin, initiate and engage in eye contact, and develop a deep emotional connection.
This 1.5 hour class includes group instruction, a handbook of strokes and presses to continue massage at home, and oils.
During the instruction, parents learn to understand and respond to baby’s cues and offer techniques to comfort, calm and soothe their babies. This knowledge also helps to foster increased fine, gross motor and cognitive development.
For this workshop, we recommend babies from ages 6 weeks to pre-crawling.
FEE: $40/parenting couple
