Massage your baby for healthy development.
Play with your baby for joyful learning.
PLAYssage with your baby for the best start to life.
PLAYssage™ is the most fun and comprehensive infant massage course designed for in-home learning.
Welcome to a new and joyful way to connect with your little bug!
By incorporating elements of Play and Massage into one activity, the PLAYssage™ routine promotes brain development, socialization, growth, better sleep, and physical health – and that’s just for babies!
Parents who have done PLAYssage with their babies have experienced deeper connections, more rest, and a new skill set to know “just what to do” when their baby cries.
Of course, there is also the added benefit of helping your baby to sleep better and move along painful gas (we call that a “Stinkbug” around here – and these tools will help!).
PLAYssage™ is the perfect addition to any home and the perfect way to welcome home your new addition!

Benefits of PLAYssage™
PLAYssage™ is one of the best activities you can do with your baby to promote healthy development
Improved Digestion
Reduced Stress for Parent and Baby
Regulated Sleep Patterns
Healthy Social and Language Development
Improved Muscle Tone
Deeper Family Bonds
PLAYssage™ incorporates original music to guide you throughout your massage time.
Lyrical cues, called “Buzzwords”, make massage techniques easier to learn and to perform in sequence. Following a tempo and singing to your baby keeps them engaged — thus encouraging more eye contact and neural stimulation. The best part is, no musical background is necessary. If you can sing the ABCs, you can do PLAYssage!

The program is helping me feel like I am helping him, has given me a tool to comfort him, and really helps with his tummy aches… I think it is what is keeping him regular, it may have helped him grow, and it definitely helps with gas and fussiness. He just likes it. He gets a big smile when I sing. It is so cute!”
I always look forward to massage time because I have already claimed those precious moments as ours. They grow so fast that those moments should not be wasted. Rub-a-bug [PLAYssage] has given me so much connection and closeness with my princess. I will definitely recommend this program. It’s Great!”
