Dads and Babies Massage Class

Dads should be nurturant fathers, getting involved right from the start, being empowered as a parent. Participate in a massage class, learn your baby’s non verbal cues, be an expert of your child.

“In the process of giving the massage, fathers get to know their children in an extraordinary way. They connect with a deep part of themselves—their nurturing side. When their fathers give extra attention the children have more confidence and exhibit more creativity.
Men and manhood are changing .Let us continue to get fathers more seriously involved in child rearing. Infant massage is a golden opportunity to assist in this transformation. The world is a better place every time an infant is massaged, and men need to be part of this.”
  - Tom Daly, Psychologist
