Reflexology Techniques for Babies

Open to qualified reflexologists

Welcome to the enchanting world of baby reflexology! There is nothing quite like it!

Babies love to have their hands and feet played with and it often makes them giggle and wriggle. It is a natural action to take hold of a baby`s feet and play with toes, run fingers down the arch of the foot and to take hold of irresistible tiny fingers and hands! How about taking this playtime beyond fun and learn how to help with some of the common issues that both baby and parent have to contend with.

Through touch, babies learn the comfort and security of being loved. Research has shown that stimulation through touch will assist in promoting growth and development and the physical act of reflexology increases blood flow, energy flow and strengthens the immune system.

There are endless benefits for babies receiving reflexology and it is suitable for newborn, right through childhood and into adulthood.
