What is infant massage and is it right for me and my baby?
Infant massage is an ancient art that supports attachment, nurtures bonding and promotes healthy families.
Classes are offered in a group or individual setting and the massage strokes are taught by the instructor
while all hands-on work is done by the parent. If you are a parent of a new baby then infant massage is for you!
The class is for babies 3 weeks and older (pre-crawling, please) and their parents. The benefits are many.
