Dr Frederick Leboyer stated..."Being touched and caressed, being massaged, is food for the infant, food as necessary as minerals, vitamins and proteins."
Learn to massage your baby and make your baby feel even more loved. Infant massage can have great benefits for your baby such as better sleep, relaxation, boost immune system, sensory stimulation and many more.
And don't forget about yourself! (especially fathers!!). It can help parents to relax with their child, connect and interact on a more intimate level than day to day contact normally provides, recognize early communication signals and is simply an enjoyable experience.
Try it today! Next courses starting in September and October (or alternatively private lessons can be arranged in the comfort of your own home).

Come learn the art of infant massage with your baby! The Loving Touch Parent-Infant Massage program takes place over 3 sessions with your baby. Infant massage provides multiple benefits for both baby and parent; some of which are: increasing intimate communication between you and your baby, strengthening and regulating the baby's primary systems (ex. Respiratory, circulatory, nervous, musculature, and gastrointestinal), and relaxing both the baby and the parent. The program is taught by a Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI®) of the International Loving Touch Foundation. Included in the course are an infant massage booklet and bottle of massage oil. The course will be taught using individualized assistance from the instructor, video, discussion, and literature about massage and child development issues. Come join other moms and babies for a fun and relaxing course that will bring you closer to your baby in ways that will benefit both of you forever!
*Expectant moms are also welcome; you can learn the massage strokes on a doll and contact the instructor for a follow-up private session after your baby is born.
You can also see upcoming classes on our Events/Geneva Area page.
