Why take an infant massage class?
- Learn to give your baby a full body massage, adding new strokes each week.
- Gain a deeper understanding of your baby's non-verbal communication.
- Reflect on parenting and comforting from a perspective of “being with” rather than “doing to.”
- Become more aware of the attitudes and beliefs you bring to parenting.
- Grow as individuals as you nurture your child.
- Connect with other adults as you have fun with your baby.
