About Soothing Embrace

With over 5 years as a Licensed Massage Therapist with specialized training in infant massage, I want to educate families in the power of nurturing touch. I have a true love of children and making sure they understand what nurturing touch is and teaching parents that massaging your baby is a wonderful thing to do. It is so simple in terms of technique, yet so powerful in what it conveys-- your love, your understanding, and your attention. Infant massage is about being together and being in touch with each other physically and emotionally.

I have a series of 4 classes that I teach. They are each one hour classes, and those classes meet once a week for four weeks. In those classes you will receive a little bottle of oil to get you started at home. Each class you will also receive one or two handouts to put in your personalized folders I make for you and your baby. Just a few of the topics we will cover is how to deal with tummy troubles, how and why we swaddle our little ones, how to read and understand what your baby is telling you.

I will come to you and do a personal one on one lesson at your home. I also do mommy and me parties, which is a great way for you and all your friends with little ones to get together and learn and have some fun. Last but not least, I have handmade gift cards to give as a baby gift. You can buy one session to help get the new mommy started, or you may buy the whole package of classes.

All that technical stuff--

One session Gift Certificate is $60.00 (for one hour session)

Mommy & Me Party $50.oo per mommy (for one hour session minimum of 3 mommys)

Ages from 3 weeks to 18 months.

My area covers: All Of Little Rock, Conway*, Cabot*, Bryant*, & Benton*.

Classes must be paid up front.

For any questions or to schedule you may email me at

* These cities must be a Mommy and Me Party. No one on one classes.
