The idea behind Movement Moments Infant Massage is that it only takes a moment. It takes a moment to breathe. It takes a moment to address tension patterns. Most importantly, it only takes a moment to connect with your child, enhancing a bond you’ll share for a lifetime.

The Movement Moment Infant Massage Technique, also called the MoMo, has a deep focus on anatomy, positioning, movement, what is happening with the nervous system and educating the caregiver. The Movement Moments technique is for professionals AND for parents and caregivers. Therapists are taught hands-on infant massage techniques, nervous system regulation, tummy time techniques, breath work and how to effectively educate parents and caregivers.

When we break it down and it only takes a moment, it can fit almost painlessly into an already hectic schedule.
