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.
Nurture your parental bond
Touch is a vital component of soothing your child. With infant massage, you can offer the comfort your little one needs while strengthening bonds between you and them. Our infant massage classes are taught monthly in a small group setting.

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."
