ABOUT THE CLASS SERIES:

In this 5-week group series, you will learn to enhance your connection with your child through nurturing touch and smooth communication. I will demonstrate the techniques on a doll white you get to practice on your baby –or on a doll if your little one is asleep or not in the mood!

One key aspect of Infant Massage is getting consent from the babies before going forward with any massage. In fact, children are able to communicate even before they can speak. As caretakers, we learn to read their verbal and non-verbal cues and respect the need that was expressed.

Due to COVID, classes are currently held over Zoom, where we still get to see each other. This way, you are part of a growing community, you are sent detailed (pdf) sequences to practice each week, you get to share experiences and child-development knowledge with other families.

It is much more than massage, we learn to connect on many levels!

This program is geared at families with babies between 6 weeks and 6 months of age but in our last class we will talk about adapting the massage through the years. Sequences include a massage for colic/gas relief.

PRICING:
Sliding Scale: $50 to $150 for the group series.
That’s $10 to $30 per 60mn class.
Private Introductory class is $90/hr with sliding scale pricing available–just ask.

TESTIMONIALS:

“My husband and I took Kathy’s one-on-one infant massage workshop about a month ago, and it has been a great experience adding massaging to our nighttime routine. Her class was comprehensive, providing us a variety of age appropriate techniques and going over some basic infant reflexes. She was also very flexible with scheduling, which was much appreciated!
Our baby loved it. She was calm and attentive through the whole session and very vocal! Now massage continues to be one of the more relaxing and bonding moments in our day.
In addition to the class, Kathy gave us many parenting resources (books, classes etc.) which we have really appreciated as new parents. I highly recommend this workshop to all parents 🙂.”
