Infant Massage Instruction
Overview
Our program offers hour-long training sessions in infant massage. Sessions with one or two participants should plan on at least two sessions; groups of three to six should plan on at least three sessions.
Research suggests that babies who are massaged enjoy many benefits, including:
- Deeper and longer sleep
- Improved muscle tone
- Increased body awareness
- Increased weight gain for premature infants or those with failure to thrive
- Relaxed response to sensory input
- Increase in circulation, vestibular and digestive systems
- More time active and alert for learning
- Better ability to self-regulate and self-calm
- Increased bonding and attachment to parents
- Decreases stress hormones and stress level
