How to resolve AdBlock issue? SARATOGA SPRINGS – Bodywork Professionals at 11 Spring Street is offering a series of classes about infant and baby growth during October, held every Thursday from 12 to 1 p.m. Donations from participants will benefit Wellspring’s Purple Purse Challenge, a fundraiser to help end relationship and sexual abuse in Saratoga County.
Bodywork Professionals, known for its massage and bodywork services, has specially trained staff members who will work with infants and their parents or caregivers.
“These hands-on sessions will expose caregivers to milestones in a baby’s growth and development along with cues the baby may offer. Participants will learn bonding exercises, games and relaxation techniques, as well as tools for supporting colic, gas/discomfort, and sensitivity,” said massage therapist Kathleen Gates, who will be co-leading the sessions.
This series is for babies aged 3 months to crawling and their parents or caregivers. Participants can attend any number of sessions, making a charitable donation of any amount instead of paying a service fee. Anyone whose child falls outside of the age and activity limits may add their name to a future class list.
All money donated will go directly to the Wellspring charity. “We have supported the important work of Wellspring in the past through our community education series and are pleased to help them again with their Purple Purse fundraising goal during October,” said Becky Morris.
