Licensed massage therapist Chelsea Short spreads bodywork’s multifarious benefits to the whole family with her baby- and toddler-massage parent workshops and epicurean massage packages. The introductory class guides parents of children up to 4 years old in the fundamentals of baby- and toddler-massage technique. Parents learn and practice specific strokes and sequences that help relieve tot-muscle soreness from marathon crawling sessions or tennis matches with their teddy bear. Alternately, the signature massage and chocolate footbath begins with the warm caress of heating pads across backs, rendering muscles more malleable. Combining the techniques of Swedish, deep-tissue, and trigger-point massage, Chelsea then unties even the most stubborn of knots and works to relieve chronic pain. Pampering extends to feet as well, as toes soak in warm towels before taking a dip in steamy chocolate, which softens calloused skin and infuses it with vitamins, minerals, and a deeper understanding of Renaissance poetry.
