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.

"Excellent instructor! One of the best classes I've taken at Blossom! It gave me a new and wonderful way to interact and bond with my daughter that will last a lifetime."

"Generously answered questions, while efficiently moving through the curriculum."

"Opened my eyes to so many aspects of infant massage that I had not considered, like baby cues (engaging/disengaging), massage tactics for different stages of childhood, etc."
