"More Than Just Massage – It’s Parenting Confidence!
"Cassandra’s classes have been a game-changer for our family. My son suffered from digestive issues, and the techniques I learned have made such a difference in easing his discomfort. But beyond that, the bond I’ve developed with him during our massage time has been amazing. Cassandra’s expertise and passion for infant massage shine through, and her warm, encouraging personality makes every session feel so special. I’m so grateful for her guidance—it’s the best gift I could have given my son!"

Helping My Baby Relax and Sleep Better!
"Cassandra’s baby massage classes were exactly what we needed. My baby was always fussy and struggled to settle down for naps, but after learning Cassandra’s calming techniques, so much changed. Now, massage is part of our nightly routine, and it helps her relax and fall asleep so peacefully. Thanks so much

A New Way to Connect with My Baby!
""Before Cassandra’s classes, I never realized how something as simple as touch could change so much. My son had constant digestion issues, and I felt overwhelmed trying to help him. Cassandra showed me how to use massage to ease his pain, and the results were incredible.
FAQs
FAQs for Parents Considering Baby Massage Classes
Is baby massage safe for all babies?
Yes, baby massage is generally safe for most healthy babies. However, it's always a good idea to consult with your pediatrician before starting, especially if your baby has any underlying health conditions.
When can I start baby massage?
You can start baby massage as soon as your baby is comfortable and you feel confident. Many parents start around 2-3 weeks of age, but you can begin earlier if you feel comfortable.
How often should I massage my baby?
Aim for a daily massage session, but even a few times a week can be beneficial.
What oils should I use for baby massage?
It's best to use a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic baby massage oil. You can also use plain, unscented olive oil.
Can I massage my baby if I have long nails?
It's best to keep your nails short and trimmed to avoid scratching your baby's delicate skin.
What if my baby doesn't like being touched?
Don't force it. Start with gentle touches and gradually increase the pressure as your baby becomes more comfortable. You can also try massaging your baby while they're relaxed, such as after a bath or feeding.
How long should a baby massage session last?
A short session of 5-10 minutes is a good starting point. As your baby gets older, you can gradually increase the duration.
Can I learn baby massage online?
While online resources can be helpful, in-person classes offer the advantage of personalized instruction and hands-on practice.
What are the benefits of baby massage?
Baby massage can help improve sleep, digestion, circulation, and overall well-being. It can also strengthen the bond between parent and child.
What should I wear during a baby massage session?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely.
