Infant Massage Class Fall 2026

A three-week class for caregivers and their babies, birth to 12 months

In partnership with The Village Project North Bend, Encompass is pleased to offer a 3-week class for parents and their babies from birth to 12 months.

Join us for an Infant Massage Class facilitated by Emily Arkus, Certified Instructor of Infant Massage and Developmental Specialist with Encompass.

Infant Massage has many benefits for a baby, including supporting their development, bonding and attachment, and improving sleep quality. During the class, parents will learn massage strokes and touch relaxation, bonding techniques, and ways to recognize their baby’s cues, how to ask permission and how doing so builds respect, and how to identify the best time for massage and ways to work it into their daily life.

When:

The Infant Massage Class will meet weekly on Thursdays, October 15 – 29, from 4:00-5:00 pm.

Where:

The Village Project North Bend, 203 W 3rd Street, North Bend
