What Families Are Saying
Taking the six-week infant massage series with Lisa Desai at Bloom and Anchor Wellness was an incredible experience. Lisa is knowledgeable and creates such a supportive, nurturing environment. The sessions were invaluable in helping me bond with my baby. If you are a new parent looking for a meaningful way to connect with your little one, I highly recommend this class! Thank you Lisa for such a wonderful series!

“My 2 month old and I were able to participate in infant massage classes with Lisa and it was a wonderful experience! She is warm, engaging and personable. She is a knowledgeable instructor and was able to guide us through several routines. She gave us clear instructions on how to prepare for the classes and set ourselves up for success. I would recommend this class to anyone looking to bond with their infant in the early months!”
~S.H. - 1st Time Mom
“Lisa is an exceptional infant massage instructor and I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn infant massage. Her training as an OT and knowledge were evident, and she is extremely approachable and kind. Lisa adapted each session to meet my baby’s needs, and answered all of my questions.
The techniques she taught me have helped my baby relax and helped me bond with my baby, and infant massage also helps develop sensation and proprioception, and can help with gas.
Overall, learning infant massage has been one of the most special experiences of my maternity leave and I’ve enjoyed so many beautiful moments with my baby, thank you Lisa!!” ~D.S. - 1st Time Mom
