Infant massage class

​

The mother who realizes the benefits she received after getting her own massages during pregnancy, will also want to extend those great benefits to her child. 

​

Strengthen that special bond between you and your baby through a massage class! Massage helps to maintain healthy growth and development, while improving the functioning of your growing babies system. 

​

When infant massage is performed by the parents, there is improved interaction and bonding. Babies greet the parents with more eye contact, smiling, vocalizing, reaching responses and are more expressive.

​

Massage also gives fathers a chance to connect and interact with their child on a deeper level than the usual day-to-day fathering responsibilities. Fathers are encouraged to attend baby massage classes for that extra bonding which their little ones crave.
