Infant Massage Instruction
Facilitated by Susie Gray, Certified Infant Massage Instructor
My Infant Massage Instruction class is designed to teach parents how to massage their babies. The beauty of infant massage is the ‘hands-on’ communication that parents share with their little ones. Parents learn simple strokes gathered from Swedish and Indian massage techniques that help tone baby’s digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems.
Infant massage enhances this precious time of attachment and bonding between parent and infant that is the foundation from which all future relationships are based upon. Contemporary research has proven that gentle touch can be as important as food for your baby’s physical and emotional development.
Benefit from Infant Massage instruction:
- Discover self-relaxation techniques as a parent.
- Explore all elements of bonding – eye contact, voice, smell, skin to skin contact.
- Massage aids in relief of discomfort from colic, constipation, and congestion.
