Facilitated by Tia Rich, CPM, LMT, CLC, CEIM, this four week series will teach you skills to sooth your baby with gentle massage techniques..

Touch is your baby’s first language and infant massage is one of the most natural and pleasant methods of providing this early nurturing contact. Babies who experience regular massage often see reduced stress, nervous system improvements and improved self-regulation and body-awareness.

In this class series you will:

  • Learn relaxing massage routines

  • Identify cues and infant behavioral states

  • Learn methods to keep in touch with your baby as they grow

  • Build community with other parents & caregivers

The goal of this class is to facilitate and enhance the loving relationship between babies & parents. Infant massage is an ideal medium, because it naturally encompasses all of the elements of the bonding process including eye to eye contact, warmth, scent, vocalizations, skin-to-skin contact, responsiveness and both verbal and non verbal communication on your baby’s level.

This class is open to the community and intended for parents to attend with their babies.

$120 fee that covers all four classes, payable directly to the facilitator on arrival.
