Services

In group classes, the best age for your infant is from birth to pre-crawling. If your child is already starting to move and explore around him,

I recommend that you take private classes.

Group classes for dads-only

These dads-only group classes offer a supportive space for fathers to connect with other dads while deepening their bond with their babies through nurturing touch. Infant massage gives dads something clear, simple, and meaningful to do with their infant. It is an intentional way to communicate, interact, and build confidence from the very beginning. Infant massage is not just for moms; it is a powerful tool for strengthening attachment and supporting a dad's unique role in early bonding.

Fathers may create their own groups with other dads. The group class is hosted in the home of one of the participating families.

Stay tuned for Dad's group classes hosted by welcoming community spaces!

Pricing is the same as the other group classes.

30-Minute Booster Session

​$29

This 30-minute booster session is perfect for families who took my infant massage class in the past and would love a refresher, whether it's been a year or you've welcomed a new baby. We'll review all the essential strokes together and fine-tune your technique, while also discussing how to thoughtfully adapt the massage for an older child if needed. It's a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with the practice, refresh your confidence, and continue nurturing bonding, relaxation, and well-being for your family.

Infant Massage Workshop for Baby Shower

 

                                                                               ​$220

 

Turn baby shower into a meaningful, nurturing experience with a one-hour Infant Massage Workshop designed for expectant parents and their loved ones.

During this interactive workshop, we focus on real-life concerns parents often have in the early weeks: crying, gas and colic, tummy discomfort, and how nurturing touch can support both baby and parent helping them bond. Participants can learn simple, gentle stomach strokes and gain a better understanding of how touch can soothe, connect, and reassure a baby.

The workshop is interactive, discussions-based and flexible. I adapt the content to what participants are most curious or concerned about, creating a warm and supportive space for questions and conversation. Dolls are provided so everyone can practice comfortably and confidently. Babies and children are welcomed.

I come directly to your home, making this workshop an easy and special addition to a baby shower or intimate gathering.

Who this workshop is for​

  • Expectant and new parents

  • Baby shower and prenatal celebrations

  • Families looking for a meaningful, educational baby shower activity
