Janet demonstrates the massage techniques on a doll model. You are the one that does the actual massage with your infant.
You can have another caregiver(s) present who can learn the massage techniques and participant in the sessions.
Massage sessions are scheduled for the prime time when your infant is in a “quiet alert” state. Some times that are best can be late morning after a nap. You can also learn the massage movements at the time of the session and practice at a later time when your infant is ready.
The sessions can be held in your home or at Dr. Courtney’s private office in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. This will be discussed during your initial introductory telephone conversation.
Although you can introduce massage at any age in childhood, these sessions are meant for infants ages 3 weeks to 10 months old.
Both sessions are scheduled at the time of the initial telephone appointment and are usually set one to two weeks following the first session.
You will find that a massage session only takes about 10 to 20 minutes of your time.
I offer groups on Saturday mornings.
Absolutely! This is encouraged and this lowers the cost of the sessions for you.
Groups can be organized up to a maximum of six parents. The program rate adjusts depending on the number of parents.
