baby massage courses

In newly born infants the sense of sight is almost non-existent and the relationship between the child is established through the sense of smell and touch. Baby Massage is a wonderful way for an infant to feel loved and secure and a few minutes of massage every day has enormous benefits for the future emotional development of the child. Loving hands and the delicate fragrance of Alquimia essential oils will help to promote a sense of calm which in turn will allow a deeper communication between parent and baby.
