Connection Begins With Respect

At the heart of every session I run is one simple, powerful principle from the IAIM: respect.

It’s something I feel really passionate about because even the tiniest babies deserve to be seen, heard, and included.

In my classes, I always encourage parents to ask their baby’s permission before beginning massage. It’s a gentle pause that teaches us to slow down and really tune in. You’ll notice how your baby responds and over time, so will they.

🧡 Respect in baby massage looks like:

✨ Noticing your baby’s cues

✨ Responding with patience and care

✨ Letting your baby lead the way

✨ Creating a space where both of you feel relaxed and comfortable

It’s a simple, thoughtful approach, but it makes a real difference.
