“Germaine has a real gift for instructing infant massage. Germaine’s manner is soothing and accepting of sleep deprived and vulnerable new moms and dads. She creates a safe space to learn to massage our babies. She gently keeps the pace of the class moving while always keeping the babies care (fussiness, need to nurse etc.) first in mind.” ~ Patty

Parents with babies from birth to 1 year (pre-crawling) are welcome to attend this course to learn the very special art of nurturing touch and baby massage!
Massage is an early form of communication with your baby to show them they are loved, welcomed and respected. It is a wonderful way of bonding with your baby as it works on an emotional as well as a physical level developing closeness between parent and baby that has lifelong benefits.
