There are times when parenthood
seems nothing more than
feeding the hand that bites you.
-Peter De Vries
Infant Massage...
is a way of communicating love through nurturing touch. It helps to enhance the loving relationship between an infant and its parent(s), so that we can build a nurturing culture for every child.
Tender loving strokes provide an infant with emotional nourishment that allows them to feel accepted, and so they will be able to develop self-worth and self-esteem.
 Infant massage is a beautiful and simple way for parents to express love, and to establish a deeper emotional parent-infant bond.
Children's Immune Systems are improved with massage.
Stress hormones are decreased after children receive massage.
Massage helps regulate the digestive system, therefore relieving the discomfort of constipation and colic.
Babies daily or weekly massage offers a time for parents to relax and unwind, with many parents commenting that they enjoy it as much as their baby. As babies release tension during the massage, they are likely to sleep more soundly.
Contributes to the development of compassion, respect and love.
