Led by Heloise Stauff, a Certified Educator of Infant Massage, these small group sessions goes beyond teaching strokes. You will learn how touch supports your baby physical, emotional, neurological development - because mind and body are deeply connected.
In this series, you will learn:
A complete full-body infant massage routine (taught step-by-step over 5 weeks)
Techniques to relieve gas, colic, and digestive discomfort
Gentle methods to supports sleep and relaxation
How to recognize and respond to your baby's cues
Ways to deepen bonding and attachment through nurturing touch
Each session builds progressively, allowing you and your baby to feel confident and comfortable.
Just as importantly, this series creates space to connect with other dads, share experiences, and enjoy time together in a relaxed and supportive environment.
This is a baby-led class—we follow your little one's lead. If they aren't ready for a massage, mannequins are provided so you can still learn the techniques.
What to Bring:
A small blanket or towel for the baby.
Your usual diaper bag/feeding essentials.
Socks for yourself (we will be on the floor).
Mats are provided!
Research shows that dads value this experience not only for what they learn, but for the time spent with their babies and the opportunity to connect with other fathers—and that’s exactly what this series is designed to offer.
