Infant massage has traditionally been practiced in cultures around the world.  It is a great way to bond with your baby through nurturing touch.  It also has many developmental benefits.  Through regular massage, your baby will experience:

·         Improved body awareness
·         Enhanced relaxation and deeper sleep
·         Strengthened circulatory and gastrointestinal systems, which can improve weight gain
·         Reduced discomfort caused by digestive upset, teething, and congestion
·         Improved elimination and respiration
·         Enhanced non-verbal communication between you and your baby


Fees 
Private lessons: The fee is $90 for two lessons ($45 per lesson) in your home or at my office.

Group classes:  I charge $40 per person/couple for a two-part class.  I can also be hired to come to parents’ groups or host class at my office. 

All fees include a bottle of organic massage oil and an infant massage booklet.
