Baby Massage*

  • 4-Week Series – Private
    No need to bundle baby up and rush out the door because our private series are taught in baby’s most comfortable place… home! Our private series flexes around you and your baby’s schedule. Being a mommy as well, I know that a baby’s nap and sleep schedules change, doctor appointment are booked and unexpected everything’s just happen! Booking a private class is a also great opportunity to include daddy into one of baby’s activities. It has been shown that baby massage is one of the best ways for dad to connect with his baby by providing dads with a routine activity that not only stimulates all of baby’s senses, but also helps create the strong foundation to a healthy relationship. Classes can be booked throughout the day or in the evenings and weekends so Daddy can participate. We always bring an extra doll, so whoever isn’t massaging baby is still learning the strokes and routines. Each week we learn a new body part for massaging baby, legs/hands, stomach and a specific routine for gas/colic, chest, arm/hands, face and back. The only body part we don’t massage is the head and that is because of baby’s soft spots. We chat about current events around parenting and we provide parents with research and/or news articles about the benefits of infant massage each week. We always want to support what we teach by linking our lesson plans with current information.
  • 4-Week Series – Semi-private
    We bring our 4-week course to you and your friends! The semi-private series allows you and your friends to host your own baby massage class! The location can alternate over the course of the 4-week series, allowing everyone a chance to host! Each parent/baby team will be supplied with a bottle of massage oil and a booklet of the massage strokes to keep. Every week, we will focus on a different part of baby including legs/feet, stomach, chest, arm/hands, face, back and a special routine just for gas and colic. Typically each session is about an hour or so, however, sometimes we get into some very interesting topics from our own experiences of childbirth to vaccinations, so sessions may go a bit longer.

*Please note that baby massage is done by the parent(s), grandparent(s) or guardian(s) with instruction and guidance provided by Mystique.
