INFANT MASSAGE
Hands On Health offers International Association of Infant Massage
Infant massage classes for babies 2 weeks to 1 year old. This is a 4 week course meeting once a week for an hour. Parents learn techniques to give their baby a full body massage through nurturing touch. Massage encourages bonding between baby and parent which gives parents the tools to learn their child’s cues in order to soothe and comfort them. Bonding and attachment are also essential for growth and development. Infant massage can ease symptoms of colic and teething, decreases stress, helps babies sleep, normalizes muscle tone and improve blood circulation. Moms and Dads will gain a new confidence as they learn how to communicate with their baby through touch and connect with other new families.
Class includes: 2 instructors with 15+ years of teaching experience, printed handouts, baby-safe massage oil, and opportunity to join another class for free! Join us for 4 weeks for our in-person classes
