Arcata Recreation to Offer Free Virtually Guided Infant Massage Course in February

This is a press release from the City of Arcata:

Arcata Recreation is excited to host a free virtually guided Infant Massage Course through Arcata Play Center. 

An infant’s first language is touch and massage is a beautiful tool for caregivers to use in order to form strong bonds and create healthy attachment. This 4-week course meets once a week and will explore topics including infant development, bonding and attachment, infant-parent communication, consent, the benefits of touch and the infant massage routine. 

Classes will be held once a week on Saturdays from noon to 1:30 p.m. beginning Saturday, February 5 through Saturday, February 26. Space is limited to five families, and pre-registration is required through Arcata Play Center by emailing [email protected] or by calling (707) 825-2150.
