Infant
Massage Instruction:
Learn to massage you baby! Taught privately or in groups,
this instruction is given over 3 to 4 sessions. Each
session is 45 to 60 minutes, and is recommended for
babies from birth to 9 months. Infant massage can promote
parent-child bonding. It can facilitate brain growth
and development, and improve baby’s immune, circulatory
and respiratory systems. It can also help to relieve
colic, fussiness, teething pain and digestive problems.
Taught by a Certified Infant Massage Instructor.
We are happy to announce that Mindy Herman, LMT has completed her Level II training for the Trager Approach to healing. An accomplished massage therapist with years of experience, Mindy is a top of the class! student of this unique method.
Trager work is a method of body re-education, where the client experiences both passive and active aspects that utilize gentle, non-intrusive, natural movements. These movements consist of gentle compression, lifting, swinging, flexing, rocking and range of motion. In addition, “mentastics” (mental gymnastics!) are incorporated to reduce tension, increase physical mobility and flexibility. Improved awareness of one’s body can facilitate the release of old, unconscious holding patterns.
A typical session can last from 60 to 90 minutes, and there are no oils or lotions used. The client is advised to wear loosely fitting clothing, swimwear, or briefs that will allow freedom of movement.
For more information on this modality, or to make an appointment for Trager work with Mindy call Healthy Alternatives at 631-587-4629.
