A calm, faith-based parent and child class created for babies and toddlers from birth to age 2. It offers an unhurried setting to slow the pace and savor this season while building connection through stories and songs, infant massage, sensory play, simple movement, and shared moments that matter.

Sessions are led by Stephanie Harris, founder of Cedar & Honey, a licensed massage therapist, certified infant massage instructor, certified birth doula, and certified biblical counselor. Please bring a yoga mat or blanket to share with your little one. Group size is intentionally small so every mother and child is known by name. Space is limited and registration is required. Cost is $15 per class or $75 for six weeks.
