It'll be a great opportunity to take time out of your busy holiday season to bond with your little one and learn the art of baby massage. Come relax and enjoy learning how to connect and comfort your baby.
No experience necessary, just bring your baby, love and curiosity. See you at the studio!
Who should attend?
Either one or both parents or guardians and their baby are invited to attend this baby-led workshop (twins and multiples welcome)
What are we going to cover?
This will be an introductory baby massage workshop that will teach you the benefits of infant massage and about the International Association of Infant Massage Program which has been shared with babies, parents and educators for almost 40 years in over 50 countries!
How does a workshop with my baby actually work?
Gretchen Becker, Student Educator of Infant Massage and founder of Great Sky Babies, will guide you through the basics of infant massage and then focus on the strokes designed for their legs and feet. She will demonstrate these strokes using a baby doll. Parents are invited to practice these strokes with their infants during the workshop.
Why massage my baby? The benefits of infant massage include:
- helping provide relief from pain and colic
- improving their quality of sleep
- helping them relax, aiding their digestion
- improving their muscle control
- overall sensory awareness and more!
As a parent, you will likley feel the bond between you and your baby grow as a result of massaging your baby. Your confidence may also increase because you will learn how to read your baby's cues. Dads and Moms can both be a part of their baby's massage routine.
What should you expect?
The environment will be baby friendly and that means baby sounds are welcome. The workshop will feel supportive, nurturing, non-judgemental and present a relaxing way to spend quality time in the afternoon with your baby rain or shine.
We'll gather in Stretch Zone's super clean studio in Canton on their soft mats (plan on taking your shoes off). You can then decide if you want to settle your baby and self on the floor or want to use the massage tables to practice the strokes we will be demonstrating.
You will be provided with baby-friendly oil to use to massage their feet and legs during the workshop.
Moms will be offered some one-handed, mommy treats and a light refreshment.
No pet "babies" please- this is a pet free indoor event.
Workshop Promotion: Everybody who attends this workshop will receive $25 off the price of Great Sky Baby's online Infant Massage online course.
