Infant massage is an ancient practice that has been performed by mothers as a way to promote their baby's health and well-being.  Research shows that early loving touch is essential for the development of infants, and massage is one way to feed this need.   Babies who receive a lot of nurturing touch sleep better, have better immune system function, gain weight more quickly, and are relaxed so they sleep better.  The parent-infant relationship is enhanced through bonding and attachment.  Massage also provides relief from medical procedures and helps reduce colic and constipation. 

I am a registered Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI®) through the International Loving Touch Foundation.  I will come to your home and teach you a systematic approach to massaging your baby using a variety of techniques, over a series of sessions.  All of the techniques can be modified to meet the needs of children with special medical or physical conditions.  Expectant parents can practice on a doll so they will be ready to begin massage as soon as their baby arrives.  Group classes will be available.
