Touch is the first sense babies develop in utero and is baby’s
first language, making it the perfect way to tell them they are loved. Infant
massage is a wonderful experience for both you and your baby. The four session
course is designed specifically to teach parents easy-to-learn techniques that
support the bonding and attachment process and help with relaxation and
communication in the early months. It is also an excellent tool in helping
preterm and special needs babies thrive and grow. Massage strokes are
demonstrated on a doll (or my own baby) while the parent practices the moves
directly on his or her baby. Group and private classes are available.
