Infant and Child Massage

 

Infant and Child Massage

"As a parent, loving relative, or caregiver of an infant, you want to see your child flourish. Touch is as important as food for healthy mental and physical development — a fact clearly supported by both ancient tradition and contemporary research. Massage is attentive, pleasurable touch that can promote your baby’s well-being while increasing your ability to respond to his or her needs. Bonding, that unique and close attachment between you and your child, is enhanced with the observant and sensitive care of massage."
- Diana Roberts Moore

SPOTLIGHT:
"After birth the first few weeks are the most critical period for healthy development of the child. During this time, I was told, one the most important factors for ensuring rapid and healthy growth of the baby’s brain is the mother’s constant physical touch."
- The Dalai Lama, Compassionate Life

Working with my own children and clients convinces me that Infant Massage and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) are profoundly effective in fostering more "ease" in the body. I am certified in both and have more information, including testimonials, on my website.
