Baby Massage

This four week comprehensive baby massage class will teach essential techniques for massaging your baby - to help both of you bond, relax and sleep better!  Studies show that babies that are massaged sleep longer and more deeply, tend to have less gas and digestion discomfort and are often very calm babies.   

Research also shows that practicing massage:
  • Enhances bonding
  • Emotionally and spiritually nourishes baby
  • Increases parental confidence as they learn to understand their babies' "cues and cries"
  • Promotes longer and deeper sleeping patterns
  • Promotes relaxation for parent and child
Thursdays, March 18-April 8  11:00-11:50am

Private consults available upon request



Understanding Baby Blues and PPD


Having a baby can be the most exciting and exhausting experience in a person's life.  Along with the joys come fear, anxiety and sleep deprivation.  About 80% of new mom's experience the baby blues, 20-30% experience Postpartum Depression.

In this workshop, we will explore and learn about:

  • The normal emotional highs and lows experienced after giving birth and bringing home baby.  Why am I crying, happy, sad, mad and anxious all in the same hour?
  • What can I do to shake this feeling?  Tips on stress management will be shared.
  • Will I be a good mommy, can I do this?
  • Symptoms of PPD
  • Ways to support your partner
  • Gather additional resources and professional support
