Improved Bonding and Attachment
A more relaxed baby and parent
A more confident parent
Better sleep for baby (and therefore for the whole family!)
Relief from muscular tension, congestion, teething, tummy pains, colic and emotional stress
Stimulation for improved muscle tone, coordination and promotion of brain and motor skill development
Enjoying a fun activity with your baby and with other parents

Infant massage classes

Baby massage is so much more than just the strokes. Over 4-5 weeks, you will learn:

Preparation for baby massage (environment, oils, etc.)
Understanding your baby’s cues and body language
Relaxation techniques
The complete baby massage sequence as developed by the International Association of Infant Massage
Massage techniques (positioning, massage pressure, rate and rhythm)
Gentle movements for your baby
A routine for the relief of Colic and gas
Ideas for your growing child

There is also time to discuss related topics such as:

Bonding & Attachment
Crying
Sleeping
Stress & relaxation
Or any other topic of interest to the group

Classes are best suited for babies who are not yet crawling; however they can be tailored to older babies.
