BABY MASSAGE
A joyous and mindful moment for you and your baby
"Through touch we grow"
SHANTALA BABY MASSAGE
Learn a beautiful set of skills to support your baby's development
Positive touch has proven to be important for the development of children. As a certified Shantala baby massage instructor
I teach parents how to apply massage techniques in a safe and nurturing manner. Baby massage has shown to stimulate the development of the baby and improve digestion and sleep patterns. Further, there is ample evidence that baby massage improves the bonding between the parent and the baby.
Shantala baby massage can be applied to babies from 6 weeks of age up to crawling and is suitable for all babies including colicky and premature babies.
ABOUT ME
Hi, my name is Eveline van Vugt and I am a certified Baby massage instructor. Although I have been born and raised in the Netherlands, I have been calling Montreal my home for the past seven years. So far, my whole professional career has been dedicated to the upbringing and development of children. After the completion of my Master's in Psycho-education, I first worked as a family counselor. Later, I dedicated my work to research on children and families and obtained my Ph.D. (2011). Currently, I am appointed as Assistant Professor at the University of Amsterdam and have been sharing my time together with my husband between Montreal (Canada) and Amsterdam (The Netherlands). Through baby massage, I help parents to strengthen their bonding experience and contribute to the healthy development of their baby.
