Infant Massage for Parents

Service Description

Touch is one of the first ways babies experience safety, comfort, and connection. In this gentle, hands-on class, you'll learn simple infant massage techniques while exploring how responsive touch can support attachment, communication, and regulation for both you and your baby. This class is about more than massage. It's about slowing down, noticing your baby's unique cues, and discovering the many ways connection can grow through everyday moments. There is no "righter" way to massage your baby and no one perfect way to build attachment. Our goal is to help you feel confident following your baby's lead. Families with babies of all abilities and experiences are welcome, including those who have spent time in the NICU or have medical complexities. Adaptations and alternatives will be discussed so every family can participate in a way that feels safe and supportive. Participants will receive an infant massage kit, including infant-safe lotion, wipes, and a take-home reference guide with massage techniques, responsive touch tips, and parent affirmations to continue practicing at home. No experience is necessary. Come as you are, and leave with simple tools to nurture connection through loving, responsive touch.
