Infant Massage Workshop

This 60 minute introductory workshop will show you the basic skills required to perform gentle, at-home therapeutic massage on your child.

Performing infant massage is a great way for a mother and father to bond with their child. It soothes colicky babies, decreases anxiety levels, helps ease the achy, sore muscles of your rapidly growing infant, and is a great way for your little one to unwind at the end of the day, making it easier to sleep through the night.

As well, adding a 15 minute massage and passive movement routine to your baby’s day can help increase healthy weight gain and may improve gastrointestinal functioning, such as promotion of peristalsis and bowel movement, in turn decreasing gastric retention and abdominal distention – therefore, making feeding time a little easier on the both of you!

Many successful studies have been conducted examining infants’ responses to touch. Just as adults can benefit from positive touch and massage, so too can babies.
