Join Jessica Sirias, LMFT, local Bay Area mom, mental health therapist, infant mental health specialist, certified infant massage instructor, and founder of Nurture and Bloom for a special 2 hour experiential workshop (breaks included throughout the class) focused on strengthening the bond between you and your little one through infant massage.

This workshop will help you feel confident in identifying and understanding your baby's cues and supporting parent-child attachment that will have lifelong benefits to your child's overall well-being through the modality of massage.

You will learn:

• How to identify you baby's non-verbal cues and when they are engaged and disengaged with you in real time

• Benefits of infant massage

• Full body infant massage strokes including strokes to support sleep, nervous system, sensory integration and ease colic, digestion, tension from birth, and vaccination site soreness

• How to integrate infant massage into your daily routine
