INVEST IN A BRIGHTER START
New mothers often feel overwhelmed, lonely, and uncertain where to turn for compassionate support. At Hearts and Hands Together, we step into the gap.
Led by internationally recognized pediatric occupational therapist Tania Stegen-Hanson, we provide free, evidence-based parenting and infant massage training to young families across Southwest Georgia—all while sharing the life-changing love of Jesus Christ.
Thank you for considering a gift to our foundation. Your generosity helps make this vital support a reality.
The Need & Our Impact
Why It Matters
Fussy infants dealing with sleep struggles, digestive issues, acid reflux, or tongue ties are frequently misunderstood. Families are often prescribed unnecessary medications or expensive surgeries that could be avoided with the right tools. Postpartum depression only adds to this stress. We provide a healthier, biblically aligned path forward.
Our Impact: The 4 Pillars of Infant Massage Training
All training is led by Dr. Tania Stegen-Hanson, Internationally Recognized OT, bringing 30+ years of evidence-based pediatric expertise. We offer hope, where families feel overwhelmed.
The Power of Nurturing Touch
Our free 4-week training classes don't just comfort families—they change developmental trajectories. By equipping parents with these evidence-based techniques, we provide immediate physical relief for infants while laying a foundation for long-term health and emotional wellness.
Did You Know? Daily nurturing touch helps babies born drug-addicted or suffering from severe reflux rapidly improve. It also helps military parents returning from service bond quickly with their little ones while accelerating their own recovery from PTSD.
Financial Partnership
Your donation is a direct investment in a stronger, healthier community. Your support allows us to sustain our free training in Albany, Georgia, while expanding our reach into Tifton and Americus. By partnering with local pregnancy centers and equipping fellow occupational therapists, your gift helps us bring these vital classes to the families who need them most.
In every class, we lovingly weave in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We teach parents to apply Scripture, pray over their babies, and see their children as precious gifts made in the image of God. No gift is too small, and every contribution makes a profound difference. We are deeply grateful for your partnership and prayers.
