Infant Massage

We invite you and your infant to join us at our LaPerle location to learn about infant massage. Infant massage is incredibly beneficial to both baby and carer as it encourages bonding, body-awareness, promotes relaxation and sleep, and so much more.

Participants will have the opportunity to slow down and connect with their infant in a calm setting and try their hand at massage. There will also be the chance for discussion and connection with other carers who are also parenting an infant.

Best suited for: parents/caregivers & Infants from 1 – 12 months

NOTE:

• Infant Massage program runs for 3 sessions. Drop-in available!
• If you are unable to attend one of the sessions, no problem! Let us know, and we will make sure you receive the information from the missing session.
• A small bottle of organic apricot oil will be provided to use during the session. Please bring it with you for each session unless you would like to use a different oil.
