'KISSES FROM HEAVEN' INFANT MASSAGE KIT A "Touching" Addition to the Parent/Bonding Product Category

LEE'S SUMMIT, MO -- The KISSES FROM HEAVEN Infant Massage Kit is the revolutionary how to" kit that has evolved from the increasing demand for products that encourage and stimulate the bonding process between parents and their newborn babies.

The KISSES FROM HEAVEN Infant Massage Kit, includes everything a parent needs to learn and perform infant massage; gentle, loving, easy-to-learn massage techniques that have numerous health benefits for babies and enhance the parent/child bond during the early stages of a babys development.

Why A Massage Kit for Infants?
To an infant, nothing is as loving as a parent's gentle touch. And, recent studies have shown that soft, soothing touches and massages help new parents establish an early, everlasting bond with their baby. For example, research showed that pre-term babies, when given a 15-minute massage twice a day, gained nearly 50 percent more weight than those who were not massaged. Massaged infants also had better performance in habituation, orientation and motor activity. These infants were released from the hospital six days earlier than the control group.

Documented benefits of infant massage also translate to full-term babies, which include:
· Assisting baby in relaxation and releasing accumulated stress;
· Strengthening the respiratory, circulatory and gastrointestinal functions;
· Relieving discomfort from teething, congestion, gas, colic and emotional stress;
· Helping baby sleep longer and sounder;
· Enhancing neurological development and improving sensory awareness;
· Nourishing baby emotionally;
· Enhancing the parent-child bonding process.

THE KISSES FROM HEAVEN STORY

The idea for KISSES FROM HEAVEN came about when Michelle Moe met Jeff Criswell through her massage therapy work with several Kansas Chiefs' players. When Criswell and his wife, Nita, discovered that they were parents-to-be, Moe wanted to give a special gift to a special baby. She created a "prototype" infant massage kit, complete with her book, "Sprinkles of Love." Criswell was so impressed with the kit's concept, benefits and value that he became Moe's business partner in the KISSES FROM HEAVEN venture.

Edward R. Christophersen, Ph.D., a renowned professor of Pediatrics at the University of Missouri and Chief Psychologist at Kansas City's Children's Mercy Hospital noted, "Researchers have known for some time about the importance of touch to infants and toddlers but parents don't read the research articles. It took Michelle Moe, a professional massage therapist, to develop and describe therapeutic massage in a way that's easy to follow. Her book, Sprinkles of Love, can be used by parents to improve their relationship with their 'little one.'"
