INFANTS AND CHILDREN
INFANT MASSAGE INSTRUCTION FOR FAMILIES
First and foremost, babies want attention, and they want to be touched.
They thrive in proportion to the amount of time they are picked up, held, and cuddled. Nothing is more vital to their growth and development, not even food.
Private lessons are held in the family home and consist of two sessions of about 90 minutes each. Group classes are possible, see contact page to inquire. In both settings, parents will master all they need to know in order to begin massaging their own infants, reviving a timeless practice with benefits for the entire family.
Daily massage gives Baby a predictable routine that is pleasurable for all and fosters communication, as well as:
- Helps relieve teething pain and colic
- Soothes gassy belly
- Helps babies learn how to self-regulate calm, reduces crying
- Fosters longer, deeper sleep time
- Stimulates the release of growth hormone, promotes neuromuscular development
- Teaches parents how to read their infants' cues, lets Baby know her cues are respected
- Can prevent or alleviate post-partum blues, due to enhanced infant bonding
