Infant
Massage
As your infant is so impressionable
and dependent, you may wonder how you can enhance your child’s sense
of security and love in the world. Infant massage has been proven to
foster this sense of well-being, while stimulating the healthy
development of an infant’s mind and body. This allows you to impact
your child’s development through a sensory rich experience with
soothing results.
As with most adults, massage can be
invigorating to a child’s body, providing comfort and pleasure.
These are important factors for your infant whose brain and body are
forming and developing. This means it could positively impact your
child for the rest of his or her life. Some possible benefits
include improved sleep patterns, neurological development, cardiac
and respiratory output, increased muscular tone, sensory awareness,
normalized weight gain and digestion, decreased stress levels pain
in events such as teething, enhanced bonding between parent & child,
and the promotion of non-verbal communication, self-esteem and
respect.
The facilitator, Sara Abbot, PsyD,
CIMI, is certified in infant massage instruction and is also a
licensed child psychologist. She is the Associate Director of the
Family Resource Counseling Center, a private practice in West Los
Angeles. She teaches parenting classes and offers psychotherapy for
children, adolescents, couples, and adults. This experience only
enhances the overall infant massage class experience. You will have
the opportunity to learn the massage routine while gaining a greater
understanding into the psychological development of children and
healthy parenting. Each week you will meet with other families,
providing support and encouragement within the group setting. Please
call for specific start dates and other times. Private classes are
also available.
Give
Sara a call, she will enhance your life with your new baby!
