Infant Massage Training for New Parents

Grownups aren’t the only ones who benefit from massage. Studies show that massaging one’s newborn and/or infant can result in:

  • Improved sleep for baby (and parents!)
  • Better digestion and increased weight gain
  • Stimulated immune system
  • Increased muscle tone, coordination and brain functioning
  • Better bonding for parent and child

One-hour lessons for parents and baby address questions of when to and when not to massage, specific strokes, best oils to use, best times of day, tips on understanding baby’s cries and “talk,” and the opportunity to provide baby’s first massage in a safe and supported environment.

Cost: $100, in your home, including supplementary instruction book

Massage Training for Couples & Groups

So many clients have asked me “why can’t my (insert significant other) massage like you do?”  The answer is “s/he can, if s/he knew how.”

Massage lessons are available in private partner and group settings.  The focus is on simple techniques for relieving chronic body tension – stiff necks, sore forearms, tight shoulders, achy low backs – without a massage table.  Topics covered include:

  • Simple anatomy for safe and effective massage

  • How to determine the right amount of pressure

  • Working smart and keeping your body pain-free

  • How to communicate between giver and receiver in a way that supports you both

Customized massage lessons for two include:

Group lessons for four or more include:

  • Pre-class phone interview to discuss your needs, expectations and areas of focus

  • A customized curriculum with take-home practice notes

  • Techniques for addressing the entire body.

  • Three, 90-minute class sessions including work on the floor, in a chair, on the bed (and on a massage table, if requested).

  • Free phone follow up for questions

  • Receive quarterly newsletter with tips, specials and success stories

    •

  • 2.5 hours of partner stretches and massage instruction on the floor and in chairs

  • Take-home practice notes geared toward addressing common body complaints
