What is infant massage?

Infant massage is a gentle massage technique that’s typically performed by a parent or another caregiver. Massage stimulates the infant’s vagus nerve and makes their body more attentive to stimulation, resulting in heightened alertness, improved sleep patterns, better digestion, and reduced stress. Through massage, you’ll establish attachment bonds with your child, which are thought to indirectly modulate immunological function and lead to better overall health.

"I got a gift certificate for my birthday from my husband for this spa. I ended up getting a facial and a pedicure today from Tran. She was amazing!!! She was polite, personable and most of all she's so good at what she does! My face feels amazing and my feet are pretty again! Highly recommend! I'll be back soon that's for sure."

"Only place so far that I've found that has proper prenatal massage tables, not just the pillows (which they have as well). Owner Anne Marie was great. Felt safe and calm there. Highly recommend."
