Why Parent - Infant Massage?

My Journey with birth continues.  My certification process with the International Loving Touch Parent-Infant Massage Foundation is complete.  The Loving Touch program is a parent enrichment program that cultivates love, compassion, respect, & well-being for infants and children through touch.   

Experience the power of Parent - Infant Massage.  Take a prenatal Parent - Infant Massage class.  When your baby is born, you can begin using the techniques right away long before you'd be able to leave the house to take a class.  It's nice to have another tool for bonding and helping everybody feel better.   Take a Parent - Infant Massage class prenatally and then join a series or private class in postpartum with your baby.  Give me a call today to schedule your Parent - Infant Massage Instruction.  Contact Kate at (919) 598-9619.  I look forward to sharing Parent-Infant Massage with you and your family. 

Check here for the current schedule of classes.  Classes are offered at Peace Tree Village, Raleigh and at my Durham home office.  If you do not see the schedule you would like, feel free to contact me about scheduling a private class for you.  See the  Durham - Class Schedule (best viewed in agenda mode).  Classes are added all the time.
