Infant Massage

Connection through nurturing touch.

Parent-led infant massage education based on the International Association of Infant Massage / Infant Massage USA model — teaching you the strokes and the touch, so bonding happens between you and your baby, not through a practitioner's hands.

A parent's hands cupped gently around a newborn's hand as the baby rests

  • Bonding
  • Baby cues
