 I have always been passionately interested in the perinatal and early childhood periods. Because of this, I was drawn to more gentle approaches to my work.
As a pediatric vocational nurse, I was fortunate to meet a psychomotor therapist with expertise in an early-learning method for infants and toddlers. I studied under her for 18 months in order to learn this method.
The goal of Baby Massage is to teach new parents the techniques that bring comfort to you and your baby and that help to promote a good parent/child relationship through all of your baby’s developmental stages.
Baby Massage can:
- Help baby relax and sleep better
- Promote good circulation and digestion by helping to relieve gas and colic
 Provide fun - for you and baby - Aid growth and development
- Create a foundation for communication that lasts long after infancy ends
- Build trust and intimacy by enhancing the loving bond between you and baby
- Provide closeness, stimulation and physical contact
- Help you to understand baby’s moods, needs, desires and expressions
- Facilitate early infant communication
- Promote confidence in your ability to handle and comfort your baby
- Provide quiet times which allow you and baby a period of relaxation during the day
- Start your relationship off with a loving touch, which can last through a lifetime
