Infant Massage Classes
Our comprehensive Infant Massage Course involves 4 one-hour class sessions. Each of the first three sessions will focus on teaching special techniques for different sections of the body. The fourth and final session incorporates all of the techniques learned from the previous sessions and teaches routines for relieving symptoms associated with three of the most common causes of infant discomfort: colic and gas, teething and congestion.
Caregivers will have the opportunity to learn and practice hands-on techniques with their baby as well as learn to recognize the baby's cues to determine whether they are ready and willing to accept the massage as well as the best times to initiate massage.
