We will guide you how to touch your baby in a way that maps your baby’s self-image in his or her brain AND helps you bond with your baby for strong, healthy relationships. As you practice and play, you’ll gain the confidence you need to deeply connect with your baby.

“Because touch, more than any other sense, has such ready access to young babies’ brains, it offers perhaps the best possible opportunity, and one of the easiest, for molding their emotional and mental well-being.”

Learning through play is an important part of your baby’s early development.

Playing with your baby helps their brain and communication skills develop. We’ll encourage you to rediscover your own playful attitude, engaging your child with intentional activities as they learn about their own self and the world around them.

“Through play, babies and toddlers try out new skills, explore their imagination and creativity, and learn about relationships with other people…. As a parent, you are your child’s very first and favorite playmate.”

Testimonials

“My baby and I both love to practice the exercises and activities that we learned in Barbara’s class. While having fun, my child is learning more about using her body, which has stopped a potential mobility issue – her preference to turn her head in only one direction - from developing into a big problem. After just one session and playing with the techniques a couple of times on our own, she was turning her head in both directions. This program is awesome!

- Laura

“I am more informed as a parent after working with Barbara and this program, both in-person and online. I have learned tools to help each of my kids in the infant stages to move more efficiently, ways to ‘play’ so as to strengthen their body. It has helped me watch for signs as they have grown that they’re ready for the next stage, from rolling, sitting, crawling and walking. This way of supporting my babies is quite amazing.”

- Courtney

BabyMovesOnline has been incredibly helpful for our family. We have a 22-month old son with special needs and we have noticed clear progress in our child's ability to roll, crawl, sit upright, and engage in independent play since working with Barbara. We have only met with her through Zoom, but she's such an outstanding instructor that this hasn't been an issue for us. I honestly cannot recommend her program highly enough. Let her help you; you won't regret it!
