The Ancient Technique That Can Help You Melt Your Worries Away!
Infant Massage is a unique massage technique developed by Vimala Schneider McClure, Founder of The International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM). She combined Indian, Swedish and Reflexology techniques and created a special routine to help babies become healthier and happier in only minutes a day. When done correctly, infant massage will work wonders for your baby, as it helps in stimulating the release of a hormone called Oxytocin !
This hormone is responsible for the reduction of blood pressure and its presence in the body can minimise distress, anxiety, depression and stress related illnesses. It is a natural hormone that can be stimulated through massage.
Well, guess what.... conditions such as constipation, tension and gas in the tummy can also be significantly reduced, if not, eliminated by administering infant massage.

We love sharing with you the art of infant massage using touch, our non-verbal language showing expression of love, caring and respect. It's a rewarding opportunity to promote well-being and enhance bonding and attachment between you and your baby.
The first year is the most important. Touching your baby and providing stimulation of all the senses is important as it enables him to feel a deep sense of love and security and develop into a capable, confident and mentally balance adult.
Touch therapies for your baby are beneficial only if they are given with care and respect.
