Infant Massage
Spend quality time with your baby
The love of motherhood
When I became a mother, I already had years of experience as a massage therapist. It was with my own children that I discovered and applied the enormous benefits of infant massage.
I support you in this new adventure
Today, I am happy to be an official educator of the Spanish Association of Infant Massage, to be able to accompany mothers and fathers in this adventure, full of tenderness and love.
I will teach you how to massage your baby and understand their needs.
In addition, you can share experiences with other mothers or fathers in the same stage of life.
"I took an infant massage course with Marie, and I was delighted with the results. She is very attentive and helpful. The course was great for the baby and Marie, apart from the course she has helped me personally. I am very grateful"

"Food" for the body and soul
Infant Massage is a simple technique that we can easily adjust to our way of life. It is essentially a ‘food’ that nourishes body and mind.
For the baby, it means sharing special time with a caregiver, time of the highest quality that benefits the whole family.
Connections
Infant Massage is an art that helps establish deep connections between the family and the baby.
The warm and loving hands of parents generates a special communication.
Touch allows intense contact with the baby's physical and emotional world, it is a language that goes beyond the verbal and the physical; it is an act of love that responds to babies' need to be touched and caressed.

"Marie is a great doula, very kind and very knowledgeable. She has helped me with breastfeeding and I felt very comfortable and supported by her.
I also did her infant massage course with my baby and we had a great time, learning how to give gentle massages to the little ones and talking about other topics related to conscious parenting.
I am very grateful to Marie for all her support and I can highly recommend her.”
