There are so many wonderful benefits to doing baby massage with your child. — For all the family, not just your baby.
Here I share my passion for this precious tool for calm and connection, that has helped hundreds of parents I've taught, in the hope that it may help you in similar ways.
In this episode I speak about:
- doing baby massage after birth trauma
- how I started teaching baby massage
- body awareness from a young age
- the value in slowing down in a busy world
- positive hormones that are released
- using massage for a deeper connection
- the ripple effect on the family
- how loving touch is nourishing for babies — and us
- using massage with my daughter, years after her being a baby
Themes: Baby Massage, Mental Health, Physical Health, Birth Recovery
At the end, I share a poem by Phyllis K. Davis.
