Infant
Massage
“Of all the things my hands have held, the best by far is you.”
—Andrew McMahon
Touch is the first sense to develop and remains essential to baby's physical and emotional development. Infant massage classes are a fun, unique way for parents and caregivers to bond with their babies, create meaningful at-home routines, and connect with other families.
Infant Massage is not meant to be therapeutic, or a cure for health ailments. However, as a bonus, there are many possible benefits and positive "side-effects" for baby and caregivers you can see below and learn about in class:
