Discover the Power of Infant Massage
Develop and maintain strong and enduring relationships with your child through the help of Baby Bonds. Our services cater to parents and childcare professionals in and around NWA. Through our services, you can learn more about epigenetics and how it can help to develop a healthy, thriving child.
Epigenetics is the continuum of DNA development after birth through conscious parenting. It aims to help children thrive and not "just survive". At Baby Bonds, our goal is to create a safe, positive, and creative environment through loving touch and compassionate communication.
Benefits of Infant Massage
- Bonding and attachment; increases parents’ confidence in caring for their baby
- Faster weight gain (ideal for underweight/premature babies), better sleep, improved muscle tone, and enhanced neurological development; also promotes self-esteem
- Relief from physical discomforts such as, gas, colic, and reflux
- Relaxation from touch; helps balance the autonomic nervous system, releases oxytocin and prolactin, and creates healthy and nurturing maternal feelings
- Stimulation from touch; helps to develop all sensory systems, including digestive, circulatory, immune, nervous, lymphatic, limbic, and hormonal systems
- May increase brain and muscular development
- Children who receive nurturing touch are shown to have increased respect for others, to be less violent, and to live more compassionate lives
Our Classes
At Baby Bonds, we help people understand the role of nurturing touch and communication to exceptional parenting and family development. Join other parents and health care providers in our small group classes to learn effective techniques that promote strong parent-child bonding.
We also offer private lessons if group classes do not work for you. Call us today to book a session with our therapist.
Rates:
- Private 1:1 Class - 1 to 1.5 hours/$60
- Semi-Private Class 2-4 People - 1.5 to 2 hrs./$45 per person
- Public Class Up to 10 People - 2 hrs./$30 per person
Due to the inherent nature of the class structure (ie: having babies present) the duration of each session/class can vary depending on breaks for diaper changing, feeding, fussing, etc.
Private and semi-private classes are held in the comfort of your home. Public classes will be held at an office location TBD (usually a chiropractic office or yoga studio type of setting).
