Infant Massage Class

In this 90 minute class, you’ll learn gentle infant massage techniques you can use at home to soothe, comfort, and connect with your baby. We’ll cover how nurturing touch supports infant development, including your baby’s growing body and nervous system, and simple relaxation routines that can help both you and your baby feel calmer and more settled. You’ll also learn how to read your baby’s cues so you know when they’re ready for touch, when to pause, and when they’ve had enough. Throughout the class you’ll be gently guided through each step, with time to practice if your baby is ready, and there will be open Q&A so you can ask questions and receive guidance related to your baby, bonding, and development.

This class is for parents and caregivers of newborns and very young babies who want to support bonding, relaxation, and early development through nurturing touch. It’s a welcoming space for caregivers who want practical, hands-on guidance for connecting with their baby and building confidence in caring for their infant. Because space is limited, this group is reserved for families currently caring for a newborn or young baby, rather than expecting parents. As class demand increases, I plan to add separate classes specifically for expecting parents.

Please bring your baby, along with a small towel or blanket for your baby to lie on during the massage portion of the class. You’re also encouraged to bring water and a light snack, especially for breastfeeding parents, to help you stay nourished and comfortable while caring for and feeding your baby during class.
