Happy Bébé Infant Massage Infant Massage is a tradition in many cultures that is recognized for its physical,
emotional, social and intellectual benefits. The time that is set aside for
a baby’s massage is quality, focused time for caregiver and baby to interact
and learn to communicate with one another using verbal and non-verbal cues.
The Happy Bébé Infant Massage Class is an enjoyable way to promote this non-verbalcommunication
and bonding with your baby.
In the class, you will learn
simple techniques and massage strokes that are relaxing and beneficial for
both you and your little one. The strokes
you will be using are the same strokes that generations of parents all over
the world have used – a core curriculum that was developed by the International
Association of Infant Massage (IAIM) which incorporates Swedish Massage and
Reflexology methods as well as Yoga postures and poses that are specifically
adapted for babies. Massaging your baby is a tactile translation of
love, security and physical comfort - adding your special touch will allow
you to massage your baby as no one else can.
In the Happy Bébé Infant
Massage Class you will learn about interactive communication and nurturing
massage in a comfortable and supportive environment. After
learning about the history and benefits of infant massage, you will observe
Keela, a certified IAIM educator, perform the massage techniques on a doll
and you will then perform the strokes on your own babies (or a doll for expecting
parents). Through repetition, you will become more and more confident with
the strokes. Each of you will you will be given the valuable information needed
to make massage an important part of your family’s life now and for years to
come and a Happy Bébé Tool Kit that includes - massage oil, small towel, tissues
and instruction and informational materials.
