Teaching Loving Touch Through
”Baby’s First Massage”  
 

Never underestimate the power of touch!  New research conducted by the School of Medicine Touch Research Institute suggests that 10-15 minutes of daily contact, in the form of massage, may improve a wide range of newborn difficulties.

 

Benefits of Infant Massage Include …

 Ř       Proven results to reduce colic & gassy spells

Ř       Digestion improves leading to faster weight gain

Ř       Stimulates the nervous system to build healthy muscle tone, brain function & coordination

Ř       Massage increases the effect you have while bonding with your baby

 

“Every birth is an opportunity for two human beings to begin a closeness that will last a lifetime.  Massaging your baby is a very special gift to let your baby know that she/he is loved, safe and understood.  Daily massage establishes a foundation for a lifetime of self-esteem for your baby and assists in promoting positive communication between the two of you.”

           

“The moments of infancy pass so quickly!  We encourage you to set aside a little time every day to give your baby the gift of loving touch.  Both of you will treasure the moments forever.” -  Vimala McClure, Founder International Association of Infant Massage Instructors

Teaching the Elements …

  We teach you, in the safety of your home, to understand your baby’s cues and to utilize all of your senses.  The easy strokes help you communicate in a new way with your baby. In turn, creating a unique bond that only the two of you will share.

Group classes are also available.  

No one is ever too young or old for nurturing touch.
