Private Infant Massage Instruction 
Please join Baby's First Massage trained instructor Donna for a "hands on" newborn massage class.

These infant massage techniques will help enhance your newborn's digestion, improve circulation, promote a deeper and more restful sleep, promote bonding and many other benefits.
