Providing Nurturing
Touch and Communication To All
Welcome
My name is Lisa and I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist for over 10 years. During that time I have worked in a wide variety of massage settings including health clubs and gyms, chiropractor office, wellness centers and high end spas. Each new experience brought new opportunities to work with a diverse set of clientele from all different walks of life. These experiences throughout my time in the industry have taught me how to listen to my clients' voices as well as their bodies, provide a compassionate and empathetic environment and create a warm, welcoming and friendly atmosphere for everyone I work with.
Infant massage has been an interest of mine for a while, and it was becoming a first time mom that gave me the motivation to begin my journey and expand my practice. I received my certification as a Certified Educator of Infant Massage from Infant Massage USA and IAIM in 2023 and shortly after I started my business, Bella Baby Massage.
I am so happy you are here and I look forward to working with you and your little ones!
Benefits for Baby
Interaction
Infant Massage provides nurturing touch and communication, which may help to promote bonding, secure attachment, quality one-on-one time, and positive verbal/ nonverbal communication.
Stimulation
Stimulation of all major systems (circulatory, digestive, hormonal, immune, lymphatic, respiratory and nervous) help aid in brain development, coordination and balance. It also helps with mind/ body awareness and weight gain and growth
Relief
Infant massage may help reduce pain caused by gas, colic, constipation and digestive cramps. As baby grows and develops it may also reduce muscle pains such as muscular tension, growing pains and teething discomfort.
Relaxation
Influencing relaxation for baby reduces levels of stress hormones and increase levels of calming hormones. It also regulates behavioral states, improving the ability to calm oneself, improve sleep patterns and reduce crying.
