Infant Massage

Picture
“Being touched and caressed, being massaged, is food for the infant. Food as necessary as minerals, vitamins, and proteins.”  
Dr. Frederick Laboyer
The goal of Dynamic Young Minds is to empower parents to be their child's most effective teacher. 

At the end of each Younger Baby Class, we offer calming time for massage and bonding between mother and child with a guided Infant Massage.
 

Always check our Facebook Page for further updates and current events.

Dynamic Young Minds is here to empower parents with tools and knowledge to best facilitate their child's brain development from the moment they enter the world.
