On Monday, you get to participate in a hands-on LAB experience where you will be instructed in the art of infant massage! This is something I know absolutely nothing about. I’m excited to learn something new. I think I’m going to bring Addi so I can practice on her, have some one-on-one time with just her, and not have to pretend I’m massaging a water-baby doll from the church nursery. This would be a great session to invite a friend to!
We will meet Monday December 10 in the nursery of Ada Bible Church at 8899 Cascade Rd SE, Ada, MI 49301 from 7-9ish. Come when you can and leave when you must. Family, friends, and little ones are all welcome!
There is no fee and no need to register, just come.
I hope to see you there! ~Jenna
About our instructor:
Sara Binkley-Tow is a Parent Educator, Postpartum Doula, Certified Happiest Baby Instructor, and Certified Infant Massage Instructor. She also has a master’s degree in Family Studies from Michigan State University. You can learn more about her class schedules and organic products from her website All in the Touch.
Over the past 4 years, Sara has shared her techniques for soothing, relaxing, and connecting parents more closely with their children. The effect has been amazing.
How did she get started? Sara began massaging her daughter, Samantha, at an early age. The special bonding time proved to be effective in not only connecting the two, but in helping Samantha sleep, eat and helping her relax when she was uncomfortable.
When her son Jake was born, she wanted the same closeness and connection with him – and a massage ritual began once again.
At 3 months old, and then again at 9 months old, Jake spent some time in the hospital. Infant massage brought daily comfort to him and his family.
Just seeing the effect of infant massage on her own two children has ignited her passion to share this gift with other families.
Sara will be sharing the benefits of infant massage as well as some simple techniques you can start at home.
