Infant Massage
0-12 months
Colicky baby? Gassy baby? We’re here to give you more ‘tools’ in your ‘toolbox’ to help connect and relax with your baby. This phase of life is stressful and chaotic, and infant massage is a great way to connect with your infant.
This class is structured as a group class with infants and their caregivers. Throughout class you will learn specific massage strokes to use daily on your infant.
Class will start with a introduction to infant massage, followed by active instruction on your infant (or a doll if more than one caregiver attends or if you are attending prior to your infant being born). Instructors will answer questions, provide resources, and help you to understand your child’s non-verbal cues. Class will end with identifying specific stroke routines to help with colic, constipation, gas management, and relaxation.
