Infant massage is a simple, hands-on way to spend calm, focused time with your baby. In this class you’ll learn gentle strokes you can use in class and at home, along with ways to adapt them as your baby grows. Each week Carissa demonstrates the techniques while you massage your own baby, at your baby’s pace.

Benefits of nurturing touch

Infant massage may help support:

  • Connection and bonding between you and your baby
  • Understanding your baby and recognizing their cues
  • Comfort and relief, such as easing gas and digestive discomfort
  • Relaxation and sleep, helping your baby settle
  • Caregiver confidence in responding to your baby
  • Community, sharing the time with other caregivers

What the class looks like

Classes are small, with 4–5 families in each group. Caregivers massage their own babies while Carissa demonstrates, so you learn by doing. Babies set the pace: feeding, changing and comforting breaks are welcome at any point.

Massage oil and take-home handouts are included, so you can keep practising between classes.
