Baby Beans offers in-home support services to caregivers of infants and toddlers. Parents learn to use massage to foster comfort, sleep, and bonding with their baby. Caregivers receive strength-based support to foster their child's development in all areas using everyday activities.
Services:
Infant Massage
Infant massage is an ancient tradition, used for centuries to support relaxation, comfort and bonding for both the caregiver and baby. Babies who receive regular massage often sleep more soundly, have less difficulty with digestion, have increased body awareness and are more easily able to regulate. Caregivers who give their babies regular massages report that this special time with their baby left them feeling relaxed and confident in their abilities to bring comfort to their baby.
At Baby Beans, you can learn a massage sequence that incorporates elements of reflexology, healing touch and yoga. We will work with you and your baby in the comfort of your own home over the course of at least 3 sessions. This massage can be tailored and modified for your older children as well. Virtual sessions are also available. Services offered in English or Spanish.
Developmental Support
Being a new parent is hard work! Baby Beans offers in-home support to work on all areas of development. Some of the questions we hear include: What positions should I have my baby in to promote strength for sitting and crawling? Should my baby be able to do more with their hands? How do I promote cognitive development at such a young age? How can I get my toddler imitating and saying their first words? What's the best way to involve my baby/toddler in my everyday routines of the house?
We will offer developmental information and practice strategies that are individualized to your child and their needs. Virtual sessions are also available. Services offered in English or Spanish.
Feedback
Working with Andrea for infant massage and developmental support was such a wonderful experience! My daughter was born 4 weeks early and Andrea's guidance was incredibly helpful in supporting her early development. She taught me gentle, effective massage techniques that not only hepfed with relaxation but also with bonding and body awareness. Her deep knowledge of infant development and her warm, reassuring approach made such a difference for both of us. I always felt like she truly understood my baby's needs and had so many helpful insights. I'd highly recommend her to any parent looking for in-home support!

I really appreciated Andrea teaching me to do infant massage for my baby. It reminded me of the value of spending time with my son and expressing love to him in a tangible way. I liked how she taught me a way to signal even to my young baby that we were beginning the massage. This reminded me, even with my older children, to communicate with them clearly and respect their persons. Andrea was easy and fun to learn from and I would highly recommend her.

I did a couple sessions of in-home infant massage when my son was a couple months old. I loved Andrea's approach and guidance on reading my baby's cues. I found that using elements of this massage helped calm him, comfort him and really was just a nice thing for us to do together. My son is now three years old. I have sought out Andrea for developmental guidance and support over the years with questions about challenging behavior and language development. I highly recommend Baby Beans and this service!
