At In Balance Healing Massage Therapy we believe in the power of nurturing touch for every stage of life—including infancy. Infant massage is a gentle, loving practice that enhances bonding, promotes relaxation, and supports your baby’s overall well-being.
Benefits of Infant Massage
Infant massage has been practiced for centuries across cultures and is known to provide numerous benefits for both baby and parent, including:
- Enhanced Bonding – Strengthens the emotional connection between parent and child through skin-to-skin contact.
- Improved Sleep Patterns – Helps babies relax and establish better sleep routines.
- Digestive Support – Can ease colic, gas, and constipation by promoting healthy digestion.
- Neuromuscular Development – Encourages coordination, flexibility, and overall motor function.
- Stress Reduction – Releases feel-good hormones (oxytocin) that help reduce stress for both baby and caregiver.
What to Expect in a Session
Our certified infant massage therapists guide you through a series of gentle, rhythmic strokes designed to soothe and comfort your baby. Each session includes:
- Personalized instruction for parents and caregivers
- Safe, effective techniques for massaging your baby at home
- A calming and supportive environment to enhance your confidence in providing nurturing touch
- Education on cues and responses to help understand your baby’s needs better
Who Can Benefit?
Infant massage is perfect for newborns and babies up to 12 months old. It’s particularly beneficial for premature infants, babies with digestive discomfort, and those who need extra soothing and comfort.
