What is infant massage?

Infant massage combines Indian and Swedish massage techniques, reflexology, and yoga to support your baby’s physical and emotional well-being. This holistic practice helps stimulate various body systems, such as digestive, circulatory, hormonal, and immune, promoting relaxation and easing common discomforts like gas, colic, constipation, and congestion. More than just a soothing technique, infant massage strengthens the bond between parent and child, enhancing trust, attachment, and communication.
