"Massage was sooo great for
bonding and soothing when
Grace was a baby, but even
now, at 16 mo, she knows the
word and actually asks us for
"muh-ssage?" when she's having
a frustrating day -- what a gift
to hear her sweet voice knowing how to ask for comfort, rather
than crying or screaming!"

Understanding and beginning touch early in life can improve the quality of parenting and family life
and promote the well being of your precious little one!

Best for prenatal parents or those with babies newborn through crawling + 1 or 2 caregivers. Advance registration is required. Minimum enrollment of 4, maximum 10. Please bring two receiving blankets and anything else you and your baby need to feel comfortable.

PLEASE NOTE:
NO BABY, AT ANY AGE, will predictably be quiet and alert AT CLASS TIME, for the FULL TIME.
Since momentary needs of babies are unpredictable, participants may practice what they are learning on one of our dolls, when their baby is needing to eat, sleep, or just not feeling receptive. You will receive detailed handouts, to reinforce things you might only partially asborb while attending to your child's needs.
