Infant Massage

We deeply regret to inform you that our most recent infant massage instructor has retired, and as a result, Infant Massage classes at Wooster Community Hospital are temporarily unavailable.

However, do not worry! We have exciting plans in the works to bring back these classes later this year. Our team is currently training new instructors, and we anticipate having the classes up and running again in late spring or early summer.

If you are eager to join these classes when they resume, you can still complete the registration form and be placed on our waitlist. Rest assured; we will reach out to you as soon as the classes are back in session.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work towards creating a nurturing and supportive community for infants and families.

The Women's Pavilion at WCH is excited to offer Infant Massage Classes and the many benefits these techniques have to offer to families. Parents will learn different massage strokes that can help relieve your baby of a variety of discomforts as well as enhance bonding, connection, and attachment. You will also learn what products and oils are safe to use with babies. You will learn to understand your baby's cues and nurturing techniques to respond to those cues. You will be taught an additional way to communicate with your baby through loving touch and massage.

Classes are customizable and are available in a variety of settings: private classes, group sessions, in-person classes, and virtual!
