Why Baby Massage?
Making baby massage a part of your routine with your little one has proven to enhance bonding and relationships through close physical and emotional connection! Studies show that the more tactile stimulation a baby receives in his or her first months of life up through the first year can positively impact their brain development*. Daily massage has helped address a range of issues from sleep and gas/colic to circulation, mobility, immunity and more!
This baby massage class is meant for you and your babies,1 month to 12 months.
