About this event
This four-week infant massage class offers a special opportunity to connect with your baby while learning gentle, nurturing touch. Each week, the instructor will guide you through a massage routine, building on the strokes from the previous session. In addition to hands-on techniques, we will focus on parental mental wellness and navigating the challenges of parenting an infant.
