Infant Calming and Massage

Time to leave the daily stresses, noise, and high-tech static behind and set aside fun time for your amazing relationship with your baby!  Infant Massage has been described as "the language of touch" and a gift that your baby will grow into, not out of.  This class is a chance to have one-on-one time in a soothing environment with your baby.  It is also an opportunity to deliberately and more fully appreciate your infant's individual rhythm and patterns of response.

This course consists of two 90-minute classes, and a variety of specialized massage strokes will be taught for all parts of the body.  When done on a regular basis, these strokes will encourage pre-verbal communication, contribute to deeper sleep, ease in teething, and help the digestion process.  They will also help parents decrease their own stress levels.  Infant Massage is recommended for all infants up to crawling.

Participants will receive a booklet of illustrated strokes for continued use.  Please bring a thick blanket from home for each class.
