Infant Massage

Sarah Tufano is a Certified Educator of Infant Massage (CEIM) by the International Association of Infant Massage in Sweden. Sarah is very passionate about the need to love children unconditionally and to give
them the tools they need to be happy in the world. The most important
of these tools, she believes, is the knowledge that they are deserving of love. Touch is a key ingredient to showing our children that we love
them and giving them the confidence to know that they are worthy of love. Sarah’s Infant Massage classes are fun-filled ways for caregivers to bond with their babies through touch. Parents learn easy-to-do strokes that are beneficial to their baby’s development. Caregivers can feel comfortable knowing that contact with the child remains exclusive to them; Sarah demonstrates the strokes on a baby doll so that caregivers can practice the strokes directly on their own babies.
