Infant Massage
Connection through nurturing touch.
Infant massage is a gentle practice of connection. It offers a chance to slow down, tune in, and communicate with your baby.
Rather than trying to make your baby fit into a routine, infant massage invites you to notice their cues and respond to what they are telling you. Over time, these quiet moments can become a meaningful part of how you and your baby bond, communicate, and grow together.

FAQ
Why 5 Weeks
It's not that there is 5 weeks of information to learn and memorize. It's because infant massage is a practice you gain confidence in through repetition and observation. It gives your baby time to become familiar with the experience and learn to recognize the massage sequence as an enjoyable part of their routine. Each class builds on the last allowing all of us to connect and grow together.
What You'll Learn
Through the 5-week series you'll learn a gentle, structured, massage sequence while developing the confidence to follow your baby's cues and make massage your own. Together we will explore: The IAIM sequence and techniques, How to recognize your baby's cues and respond, Techniques that support relaxations and digestive comfort (including gas, constipation, and colic), How to adapt as your child grows, and The importance of respectful and consensual touch and communication.
This Is For You If...
You don't need to be an expert parent.
You don't need a perfectly calm baby.
Your baby is vocal and active!
You don't need any experience, this is a space where we will learn together, ask questions, and build confidence in our ability to listen and respond to our babies. And if your baby cries, feeds, sleeps, wiggles, or need a cuddle during class - that's okay. Babies are welcome to be babies here.
How to Prepare
Our classes are on the floor (unless physical demands require an alternate set-up). Please dress comfortably and bring diaper bag essentials. Oil will be provided, along with wipes and toys. Water to drink will also be available. You may desire to bring an extra blanket or support pillow.
Diverse Needs?
Every baby and every family is different and there is no single "right" way for a family to participate in Infant Massage. If you or your baby has additional needs, a different developmental timeline, or if you just have more questions - reach out. We can talk through your circumstances and adapt to find the arrangement that would be most comfortable for your family.
Partner Attendance
Is highly encouraged! We encourage both/all partners to attend. Not only will each person have a unique way of interacting with their child but this is a wonderful way to encourage the formation of positive life-long bonds.
Who Can Attend?
Infant Massage Classes are typically for children between the ages of 0 - 12 months. We encourage both/all partners to attend but ask that you limit your attendance to two adults per baby. Please do not bring siblings with you to class, while we love to have everyone in the family connecting this should be a time for baby to connect to their caregivers in a focused environment.
