There is no substitute for a parent’s loving touch. Through touch, babies first learn the comfort and security of loving and of being loved.
Classes and individual sessions are available at Both Hands Healing Arts studio or at location of your choosing.
Class takes place on the floor with blankets. Your instructor will demonstrate on an infant doll while you learn massage with your own infant. You will be taught a full body infant massage. The emphasis, the entire time, is on the infant’s current comfort and well being.
We recommend infant massage for all infant caregivers including moms, dads, nannies, post partum doulas, daycare givers, and medical infant caregivers….
These are all the ways infant massage can help your baby:
~Increased blood circulation
~Improves digestion
~Relieve gas & constipation
~Aid in development of the Nervous System
~Increases alertness and awareness
~Helps with immune function
~Releases Oxytocin, the Nurturing Hormone
~Greater relaxation and aids sleeping
~Helps create greater parental bonding
~Promotes communication between parent and baby
~Facilitates increased weight gain
