You don’t have to be a Licensed Massage Therapist to massage your baby!!

In this interactive workshop, we will discuss the composition of touch history, what makes touch appropriate, and the historical impact of nurturing touch through infant massage. This hour serves as a prelude to gaining FREE access to IAIM’s 5-week Parent Educator Program.
