The practice of Infant Massage is a unique and wonderful way to deepen the bond you have with your child.  

It provides countless physical and emotional benefits for both you and your baby, such as:
  • Help relieve your gassy baby and improve his/her sleep.
  • Fosters emotional, physical, and mental well-being, calms anxieties, and contributes to healthy body image. 
  • Maturing the nervous system therefore babies who are regularly massaged are more comfortable in their environment.​
Best taken when your baby is pre-crawling, newborn to about eight months, depending on your child's development.  The atmosphere of the class allows for diaper changes, feeding, and any other needs you and your baby may have.
