Infant Massage

Infant massage is a profoundly unique gift you can give to both yourself and your baby after birth. These sessions are designed to teach new parents, including both mothers and fathers, essential massage techniques that foster a deeper, wordless communication with their newborn.

Since newborns can only express themselves through crying, signaling hunger, discomfort, or sleepiness, massage provides a meaningful way to connect with and soothe your child.

During the sessions, the therapist will focus on observing the infant to identify any specific needs or cues. Parents will receive hands-on guidance on how to perform massage strokes, paying attention to the infant’s reactions and adjusting techniques as needed. Additionally, the therapist will provide instructions on using essential oils, including appropriate dilution ratios based on the infant’s age and condition.

The benefits of infant massage extend to both the parents and the baby:
