Infant Massage workshop | Oona Wellness Group

Description

This workshop is for both you and your baby. Learn how to massage your baby! Our RMTs are Infant Massage experts and will teach you how to safely and easily massage your baby.

There are many benefits to massaging your baby. Here are just a few:

  • Helps relieve discomfort from gas, colic, and constipation
  • Improves blood circulation
  • Aids in digestion
  • Enhanced development of the nervous system
  • Increases alertness/heightened awareness
  • Reduces stress hormones and increases relaxation (possibly aiding in sleep)
  • Improves immune function
  • Enhances communication between parent and baby and deepens bonding

Please come with your baby as this is a hands-on workshop. This workshop is taught without lotion or oils but if you have a favourite lotion that you’d like to use with your baby please feel free to bring it with you! 

When to take this class

This class is best suited for little ones that are under about 6-7 months old.  In a group setting when the babies get a little older, it can be tough to wrangle them to have a productive class, so we recommend this for infants and their parents.
