Infant Massage Classes

The classes are once a week for 5 weeks and run approximately 1 hour each week. The massage strokes are introduced and taught in sequence as developed by Vimala McClure and IAIM/IMUSA. There are no “performance standards”. Parents are encouraged to respond to the individual needs of their babies at all times.

Because babies don’t come with instruction manuals!

Taking infant massage classes is an incredible way to feel like you are creating a personalized instruction manual for your baby. A personal language between you and your baby will likely develop and your ability to read their cues is explored and honed. The classes are warm and relaxing, allowing individual baby’s needs to be considered and parents to spend time learning from each others’ knowledge and experiences. The massage strokes are taught in a specific order, but once you have learned the proper application of each massage stroke, and reasons behind it, you can adapt the routine to fit yours and your baby's needs. You will be the author and administrator of your manual. You are the expert on your baby, after all.
