Infant and Child Massage
(Useful for: relaxation, overall well-being, colic and digestive issues, parent-child bonding, maintenance and prevention for highly active youth, injury, children’s growing pains)

Infants and children often love and benefit from massage. Massage stimulates circulation and all the body’s systems, enhances relaxation and regulates sleep, and helps to relieve colic and gas. Massage can help relieve children’s growing pains, can keep young athletes and musicians healthy, and can help with recovery from injury.

As a professional massage therapist, I am delighted to have clients of all ages, from babies to teenagers. Some of my younger clients are very active and want to keep their muscles healthy, some have experienced a particular injury, and some love massage therapy because it feels great!

You are welcome to stay in the treatment room during your child’s massage therapy session, if you and your child decide that is best. The same procedures around privacy, dress, covering, consent to treatment, and depth of pressure apply to children as to adults: clients of every age have the final say in what is appropriate for them, and the massage therapist’s job is to listen to the client.

Would you like to learn to massage your own infant or child? It’s easy and fun for both of you. Individual tutoring sessions are easily arranged; please contact me for more information.
