Bodywork with Shivon Vanessa

Infant Massage Class
The benefits to massaging your infant seem endless: not only is it a wonderful way to bond with your little one, but you are also assisting in their neurological, physical and emotional development. In addition, massaging your baby helps relieve colic, aids in digestion and relieves stress, promoting more restful nights for the whole family!

During class, you will learn why bonding is so important and how massage fits into the picture, which strokes are better for bedtime, when to massage and when not to massage and much more. Expecting parents, new parents, caregivers and infants (pre-crawling) are welcome in class!

There have been many studies done to show the various benefits of massage on both babies and caregivers by the Touch Research Institute. Please visit their Web site for more information.
