Why Infant Massage?

Considering taking this class? need a reason why? Here are just a few of the benefits of Infant Massage that you'll learn and experience in this class,

- Decreases stress and relaxes you and your baby
- Can help relieve gas, constipation, and colic
- Improved blood circulation and increased muscle tone
- Promotes bonding and attachment between parents and child
- Parents become more responsive and understanding of babies cues and become more attentive to their needs
- Babies tend to sleep better, which, lets parents sleep better as well!

Further Information about these topics and the benefits of Infant Massage can be found on both www.iaim.net/ and www.infantmassageusa.org/, or by following these links:

Copies of Vimala McClure's Infant Massage, A Handbook for Loving Parents, are also available online at Amazon.com, or can be purchased during the class. Vimala McClure is the founder of the IAIM, and Infant Massage USA. She wrote her first book in 1978 on Infant Massage, along with a training program and core curriculum for IAIM.

As a Certified Educator of Infant Massage (CEIM) it is my goal to follow the guidelines of the International Association of Infant Massage ( www.iaim.net/ ) and Infant Massage USA (www.infantmassageusa.org/ ).

In my class parents will learn the techniques needed to effectively massage their baby. I encourage both parents to participate at some point during the course and can work with most families schedules to accomplish this.

The five week class will include massage strokes and techniques, some massage routines that go along with favorite baby songs, gentle stretches and exercises, breathing exercises, and a variety of topics that will be discussed during each class. You will also be encouraged to listen to your baby and watch their cues, including hand and leg movements, facial expressions, crying, smiling, laughing, etc.
