About Heloise
As a Certified Educator of Infant Massage (CEIM), I am dedicated to teaching parents and caregivers the art of nurturing touch through infant massage strokes and techniques. My passion lies in fostering the bond between parents and their little ones, and I believe in the power of nurturing touch to promote overall well-being for infants. As a Psychomotor Therapist, I recognize the strong link between mind and body and thoughtfully integrate this expertise into my Infant Massage practice. Through private and group classes, I empower parents with the knowledge and skills to create a loving and supportive environment for their babies.
I have been certified with Infant Massage USA in 2019. Since then, I have massaged my three daughters on a daily basis and my last one from the day she was born. I can personally testify that massaging our babies and older children is very rewarding and the bond between us is stronger.
I also had the pleasure of teaching numerous families in private or group Infant Massage classes at their homes or on-site. I love how every one of these families told me how much more connected they feel with their babies after taking a class! That is what motivates me the most.
I had years of experience supporting families with young children with disabilities as a Psychomotor Therapist (with a degree from France). These experience and skills help me support parents and babies with any disabilities and difficulties.
I also now enjoy being an Early Childhood teacher for young children and their parents since 2018 through the Park District of Oak Park, IL where I live.
