Infant Massage Classes for Parents and Babies

in Oak Park, IL & Chicago West Suburbs

 

Learn nurturing touch techniques that can help calm your baby, ease gas and colic, support sleep, and deepen your bond.

✔ Small, supportive groups        ✔ 5-week guided program        ✔ Certified Educator of Infant Massage

These classes are perfect for you if:

You want to soothe gas or colic naturally
You want to support better sleep routines

You want to calm a fussy or overstimulated baby

You want to feel more confident handling your baby
You want a deeper bonding moment with your baby
You want to meet other parents

What happens during a class

​Each session is relaxed and baby-led.

Parents learn a few massage strokes at a time while responding to their baby's cues. Babies can feed, sleep, or take breaks whenever they need.

During the 5-week program we explore:

  • legs and feet massage

  • tummy strokes to support digestion

  • chest and arm massage

  • face and back massage

  • gentle movements and relaxation techniques

​​

We also talk about topics such as baby cues, gas and colic, crying, benefits of infant massage and ways to support your baby's development.

A Note From Héloïse
 

As a Certified Educator of Infant Massage, I love helping parents discover how nurturing touch can support their baby’s well-being and strengthen their bond. My classes are designed to be gentle, welcoming, and supportive for both babies and caregivers. I always adjust my teaching to your needs to meet you and your baby where you are.

I look forward to meeting you and your baby!

Group classes are ideal for babies from birth to pre-crawling.

If your child is already very active and crawling, private classes are often the best option so we can adapt the sessions to your baby's rhythm.

If you are unsure, feel free to book a free call and I'll be happy to guide you.
