"We have to feed babies, fill them both inside and outside. We must speak to their skins, we must speak to their backs, which thirst and hunger and cry as much as their bellies. We must feed them with warmth and caresses just as we do with milk." - Frederick Leboyer, (MD, author of "Birth Without Violence")

Our Infant Massage Classes

Infant Massage Classes are, first and foremost, run by the babies. We focus on cueing into the babies' individual needs and developmental levels. Classes are spontaneous and unpredictable at times, but always fun and supportive.

The class will teach parents the techniques for giving babies a full-body massage while never forgetting that infant massage consists of 20% skill and 80% communication and intention. Infant massage is also referred to as Touch Communication.

Touch is the first sense that babies develop in utero. It is through touch that they first interacted with their environment and It is touch that we can use to communicate love to them once they are born.

But perhaps the best thing about massaging your baby on a regular basis is that when they get a little older, they'll start massaging you!

Here's what parents who have taken Molly's infant massage class have said:

"We are loving the massage time! My baby responds with enjoyment."

"It definitely helps with my baby's gastro-intestinal problems."

"The bond between us has gotten stronger and I feel more competent as a parent."

"My baby really enjoys the massage and takes long naps after."

"The massage contributes to our daughter's sense of well-being.
