Infant Massage
A gentle class to support connection, comfort, and early development
Infant Massage is a free, supportive program for caregivers and their babies. This class introduces gentle massage techniques that can help caregivers build confidence, strengthen connection, and support their baby’s development.
​
Infant massage can promote bonding, attachment, growth, and relaxation. It may also support babies who experience discomfort related to colic, constipation, or breathing and congestion concerns.
​
This program is facilitated by our Infant Development Consultant and is designed to provide caregivers with practical tools they can continue using at home.
​
Infant Massage is typically offered as a multi-week class. Sessions are held at the Child Development Centre and are facilitated by a member of our early years team. Other days may become available based on waitlist feeback/interest.
