Research shows that touch is as
essential to proper human
development as food, warmth,
and shelter.
The benefits of baby massage are for both infant and parents. Infants benefit physically and emotionally, and parents learn the power of their own skilled, nurturing touch.
This is one delightful way Dad can definitely interact with his newborn, and know he’s contributing to the baby’s immediate well-being.

In addition to Baby Massage done at home, parents may opt to bring their infant to my office for a craniosacral session, to reorganize and revitalize the baby from the many stresses of a healthy birth.
If there are issues from a problematical birth or hospital techniques (forceps, suction), a few more sessions may help the baby’s system.
Baby Massage classes are $70 for two 1˝ hr sessions for families with
babies aged 3 weeks to crawling. Classes for families with toddlers may
be arranged. A single 30 minute session of CranioSacral for babies is $25.
