Private
Learn better in an 1:1 setting?
My private 1:1 infant massage lessons are a great option for new parents or parents-to-be who are unable to attend group sessions due to their circumstances or prefer to learn in their own comfortable home or at a private space. The curriculum covered in this lesson plan is the same as the group session and is spread across two sessions.
Your partner is welcome to join in these Private sessions. You will receive individualized instruction and guidance which are tailored to your baby's unique needs and temperament. Lesson content for Week 1 and Week 2 can be found below.

5) Ongoing support
Fees: $300 (2 sessions x ~1.5 hours)
