At Leilani Integrative Healthcare, we believe in fostering the earliest connections between parent and baby through the profound art of Infant Massage. Led by Alyxandra Melymuka, RMT, our Infant Massage Therapy treatments go beyond relaxation, offering a range of benefits that contribute to the holistic well-being of your little one.
Communication for your baby begins with the language of touch. The skin, being the most prevalent sense in the human body, becomes the initial conduit for connection and understanding. As the first and most developed sense at birth, touch plays a pivotal role in the early stages of your baby's sensory development.
Our Infant Massage Therapy treatments are meticulously designed to address a variety of discomforts that babies may encounter, including issues such as torticollis, teething, colic, congestion, gas, and emotional stress. Beyond alleviating discomfort, infant massage stimulates sensory awareness, improves muscle tone, aids digestion, enhances oxygen/nutrient flow to cells, and contributes to better sleep patterns.
Infant massage, guided by Alyxandra's expertise, positively impacts the baby's heart, breathing, digestion, and blood circulation. By preparing their little bodies for physical activity, massage therapy improves overall mobility, encourages muscular coordination, and enhances flexibility as the baby grows and explores their environment.
Commencing as early as 6 weeks old, or as directed by your Doctor, infants can benefit from the soothing effects of Massage Therapy. Recommended treatment duration is 30 minutes, ensuring a gentle and focused approach that respects the unique needs of your baby.
We extend a warm invitation to parents and guardians to accompany their little ones in the treatment room during appointments. Alyxandra, in addition to delivering your infant massage therapy, provides valuable instruction on infant massage techniques and gentle stretching, fostering a supportive environment for both baby and caregiver.
Join us at Leilani Integrative Healthcare to embark on a journey of nurturing touch and shared connection, where Infant Massage Therapy becomes a cherished part of your parenting experience.
