Infant massage
April 2012I tried using a book to give my baby a massage and now I decided I do it wrong and I should hire someone to massage him for me. Is there any place in Berkeley that offers massages for infants?
My post-partum doula, Carol Shattuck-Rice, was excellent in teaching me infant massage and giving me the relevant hand-outs. Her phone number is 510-527-7210. Even at 13 months, our boy goes to bathroom after a tummy massage. He feels relaxed and sleepy after arm and leg massage. Victoria
Infant massage and yoga class?
May 2008Hi, Has anyone has taken a mom and infant massage and/or yoga class that was great? If so, please let me know. Thanks! Nicole
I highly recommend Kim Lyons! She is indeed most gifted, gentle, and most of all, my son loved her voice. We attended her class when he was 3 months and it was always such a treat to learn not only different massage techniques and baby stretches, but also, new songs to sing and creative ways to amuse your infant. Check her out - her website is: www.movingfromwithin.com Kit
Kim Lyons is a wonderful infant massage therapist. You can contact her at kim [at] movingfromwithin.com or 510-798-3089. She is located in Oakland Good luck anonymous

Baby Massage Class?
April 2006Can anyone recommend a baby massage class? I have heard lots of good things about baby massage but have not found a class. Thanks in advance. mom of 3 month old
I highly recommend the classes of Kim Lyons, who teaches in Rockridge; she teaches a series of four one-hour classes each month. She is calm, fun, and very knowledgeable. You can find more information on her website at www.movingfromwithin.com. anon
