Being touched and caressed, being massaged is food for the infant. Food as necessary as minerals, vitamins and proteins.

What is Baby Massage?
Baby and Infant massage is based on Vimala Schneider McClure's routine in incorporating Swedish massage, Indian massage, Reflexology and Touch Relaxation.
It is a healthy touch activity between parent and baby that promotes healthy family development by strengthening the physical and emotional well-being of baby and parent.

Why Baby Massage?
Healthy touch is a key element in promoting secure bonding and attachment between baby and parent.
Bonding is the early contact between the two parties and it enhances their relationship throughout life.
Attachment is the shared experiences and the exchange of verbal and non-verbal communication that creates mutual feelings of love, comfort, trust and respect.

Healthy massage helps the parent and baby relationship to grow, facilitating the establishment of security, availability and support for the child. It is also empowering for the parents as it is a great tool to help their child grow in a whole new healthy and loving way.
