First Touch

About this event

You have been preparing for your baby's arrival in so many ways. This workshop invites you to prepare for something quieter — the first time you hold them, the first time they look at you, the first time your touch tells them they are safe.

In this one-time workshop, you will discover infant massage before your baby arrives — so that when they do, your hands are already ready.

Together we will explore:

• What babies feel and need in the first hours and days

• How touch communicates safety, warmth, and connection from birth

• How to read your newborn's earliest cues — and what to do when they need a pause

• Simple, gentle strokes for legs and feet that you can begin in the very first days

• How to build a massage practice that grows with your baby

You will practice on a doll, ask every question you have, and leave with a simple reference to carry into those first weeks at home.

For expecting parents in their second or third trimester.

Sliding-scale pricing available.
