Infant Massage is beneficial for both baby and parent in many ways. Gentle, loving touch can help to improve blood and oxygen flow throughout Baby's body, promote strong bonds while building empathy and trust, and regulate the digestive and immune systems. Infant massage has also been shown to reduce PPD and PPA in postpartum mothers due to the increase of oxytocin and prolactin and the decrease in cortisol.

My favorite part of this course though, and arguably the most beneficial, are the relationships built and support found when parents come to each class. The parents who attend this course with their infants are showing up in their most vulnerable state. Tired, sore, with spit up on their shoulder, running three hours of sleep, and yet still, they show up.
And I will welcome you with open arms every time.
