Baby Massage a Hands-On Workshop— Nelson, BC

FREE to attend, pre-registration is required.
Touch is one of the first ways babies experience connection, comfort, and safety. Learning a few simple infant massage techniques can help you feel more confident soothing your baby, supporting their developing body, and building connection through touch.
Join me for this FREE, hands-on Bump Club workshop where we’ll explore the benefits of infant massage and practice simple techniques you can use at home. Whether you’re preparing to meet your baby or already navigating life with a newborn, this is a relaxed space to learn, ask questions, and connect with other local parents.
We’ll use demo dolls to practice together, so there’s no experience needed — just curiosity and a willingness to give it a try!
What we’ll cover:
Why infant massage? Explore how touch can support bonding, relaxation, and your baby’s development.
Little techniques for little tummies: Learn gentle massage techniques to help soothe gas, support digestion, and settle a fussy baby.
Connection through touch: Discover how massage can become a calming, meaningful part of your time together.
Reading your baby’s cues: Learn how to recognize when your baby is enjoying touch, when they need a break, and how to adapt as they grow.
Let’s practice! Follow along step-by-step with demo dolls and get guidance from Sarah.
Who is this for?
Expecting parents and their partners or support people, as well as new parents with babies who aren’t yet crawling. First baby or fourth, you’re welcome!
What to bring:
Bring your partner or support person if you’d like, along with any questions you have. If you’re bringing your baby, a blanket or mat for them to lie on is handy. Yoga mats will be provided.
