“Being touched and massaged is food for the infant.  Food as necessary as minerals, vitamins and protein.”   

What is Infant Massage?

Infant massage, or nurturing touch, is an ancient tradition in many cultures that has been rediscovered in the West.  Clinical studies have confirmed that loving, nurturing touch has a positive impact upon baby’s development, both physically and neurologically.
