The Importance of Bonding - Infant Massage Communicates Your Love

Infant Massage is an ancient tradition in many cultures and offers an opportunity for you to get to know your child on a deeper level.  It incorporates the necessary elements of bonding:  eye-to-eye contact, skin-to-skin contact, smiling and other facial expressions, soothing sounds, and cuddling.  Parent and Child develop a special closeness with benefits lasting a lifetime.  The interaction of Massage provides Parents a wonderful way to stay in touch with their growing child.

     Benefits of Infant Massage -

     Infant Massage Ages -

It is recommended babies be at lease three weeks old to begin Infant Massage.

Instruction is modified as infants grow - it is never too late to begin a Massage Program with your growing child.  For older children, often the extremities are focused on with "Soccer Rubdowns, Dancer Rubdowns, etc.  The interaction of Massage provides a quiet space to share.  Often the relaxation of the Massage allows an older Child to open up and share with you what they are feeling.
