Infant Massage
Join three of our Educators for a hands-on program where you will participate in infant massage along with your baby. This is a chance to learn about the benefits of massage, gain parenting confidence, and build strong connections with your infant. You will be able to talk and connect with other new parents as well as seek support from our Educators during the first months of your child's life. This program is intended for caregivers and their infants between the ages of 0-8 months. Please choose a low-scent, food-grade, nut-free oil for Infant Massage. Be sure to test it on your newborn at least 24 hours prior to your first class. Our recommendation is Grapeseed oil, but olive, coconut, or other are also acceptable. Bring it with you, as well as a towel on the day of program. This workshop requires registration. Childminding is not provided.
