 Families are encouraged to bring their infants in up until they are able to crawl. Receiving a massage while snuggling with baby is a wonderful bonding experience. Massage soothes mommy and baby, keeping them calm, thereby reducing chance of fussiness during session. Positioning on the massage table varies from side-lying, either face up or face down, or sitting, all depending on the comfort and needs of the client.

  • Increases the bond between parent and baby
  • Supports emotional healing and decreases depression commonly known as “baby blues”
  • Reduces fatigue
  • Aids in the healing process from birth by eliminating
     – hormones released during labor
     – medications possibly given during birth
     – hormones released post labor
  • Helps ease mother’s pain from the new demands placed her body:
    • Nursing, bending, lifting, and carrying baby
