It is a natural law that humans need nurturing touch to develop healthy bodies, minds, spirits, and relationships throughout life.  As parents and caregivers we are the first to introduce nurturing touch to our children. 

The benefits of massaging our babies in their first year of life, include:       

interaction between baby and its caregiver which promotes bonding

stimulation of all the body’s systems which in turn promotes health and growth

relief from ailments such as gas and colic, constipation and growing pains

relaxation, which helps to promote sleep and behavior regulation through hormonal balancing.

 During the 2 Weeks of classes you will learn an easy and effective routine for massaging your baby.  There will be opportunity to review the strokes and ask questions.  You will learn a specific routine for easing colic and gas.   Please have extra receiving blankets available. I will provide you with a massage oil appropriate for babies, (if your baby has a known sensitivity be sure to let me know ahead of time).  Older children, partners and primary caregivers are welcome!
