About Loving Hands Infant Massage

My mission is to provide babies and parents with an avenue to give, receive and grow by creating mutual bonds of well-being through the practice of infant massage. This approach is based on a method verified by the International Association of Infant Massage, which recognizes the numerous benefits that massage brings to both the baby and the parent. My goal is to teach you how to massage your infant safely, lovingly, and with confidence.

Testimonials

“My four month old never napped during the day. The very first time I massaged just her legs, she slept for two hours, ate, and slept another hour. What a relief!”

A class graduate

“It's great to have the relief he needs from his gas pains in my hands”

A class graduate

“I hope we have embarked along a path that will lead to a lifetime of good communication and closeness. Massage and listening are a wonderful beginning”

A class graduate

“I had a hard time figuring out what to do with my baby when I came home from work. We were all tired and hungry. Massage gives us a chance to get together and 'talk' about the day -and relax!”

A class graduate

“Our massage time helped us establish a regular quiet time to just be together without being distracted by anything else. It has been invaluable!”
