A Gentle Way to Connect With Your Baby

Infant massage instruction gives parents and caregivers practical, nurturing tools they can use at home. All strokes are demonstrated by the instructor on a doll while you practice with your baby at your baby’s pace.

Baby-Led

Sessions move at your baby’s pace. If your baby needs to feed, rest, be held, or pause, we follow their cues.

Hands-On Learning

You’ll learn strokes and gentle routines while the instructor demonstrates on a doll. Extra dolls can be available so another caregiver can practice too.

Supportive & Practical

We can discuss massage techniques that may support relaxation, digestion, gas, soothing, sleep, and bonding.

The Benefits of Loving Touch

Infant massage can be a meaningful way to slow down, tune in, and connect with your baby while learning practical tools you can return to again and again.

  • Promotes bonding and connection between you and your baby
  • Supports relaxation and stress release for both parent and child
  • May support digestion, gas relief, and elimination
  • Can help encourage sleep and relaxation rhythms
  • Supports circulation, body awareness, and nurturing touch
  • Helps caregivers feel more confident reading and responding to baby’s cues

Session Options

Infant massage instruction can be offered in different formats depending on your family’s needs and availability.

  • Private in-home instruction
  • Small group in-home instruction
  • Baby-led 45–60 minute sessions
  • Sessions may be spread out over several weeks so you have time to practice and ask follow-up questions
  • Additional caregivers are welcome to participate when appropriate

Calm, Connection & Confidence

These sessions are designed to feel supportive, unrushed, and responsive to your baby’s needs.
