  • Relaxed space with refreshments provided after each session.

Benefits of Baby Massage

Baby massage is more than just a skill—it’s a way to connect, communicate, and nurture your baby through touch. The combined effects of massage strokes, reflexology, and gentle yoga-inspired stretches can help to:

  • Encourage relaxation for both parent and baby

  • Support better sleep patterns

  • Ease discomfort from wind, colic, reflux, and growing pains

  • Strengthen emotional connection and bonding

  • Promote sensory and brain development

  • Enhance flexibility and body awareness

Our Approach:
The IAIM Program

The International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM) combines techniques from Indian and Swedish massage with reflexology and gentle yoga stretches. Together, these methods encourage circulation, relaxation, and healthy development—supporting both your baby’s physical and emotional wellbeing.

Connection & Community

Each class is also a chance to connect with other parents, share experiences, and find support in a welcoming environment. You’ll leave not only with new skills but also with friendships and a stronger sense of confidence as a parent.
