Infant massage
with Aimee Sutton R.M.T , C.I.M.T
As an Registered Massage Therapist, a Certified Infant Massage Trainer (CIMT™), and mom, I have gained so much appreciation for working with babies. I understand first hand how a fussy baby can turn your life upside down, or how helpless it feels when you're unable to soothe your little one.
​​​
Engaging in massage has shared benefits through touch and eye contact for both you and baby. It triggers the release of hormones - Oxytocin and dopamine, These contribute to improved mood and strengthened bonding.
​​
Practicing infant massage instills confidence during what can feel like a chaotic time, offering a precious opportunity to slow down and forge a stronger bond with your little one, while alleviating some discomfort they may be experiencing.
​​My approach is centered on helping parents understand their babies bodies. During a session I can address specific concerns such as torticollis, colic, gas, and tounge-tie related tension. I will work on assessing and treating the concern in our appointment, while teaching parents the essential techniques they can use at home to provide effective care and comfort for their babies, making home care a seamless part of their routine.
​
Together, we create a nurturing environment that promotes healing and strengthens the bond between you an your infant.
