Baby Reflexology
No one is ever too young to enjoy the benefits of Reflexology - babies and toddlers love it as much as us grown ups!
Numerous studies have shown the positive effects of touch and massage on babies, these include increased growth (particularly notable for special care babies), calmness and contentment, better feeding.
The wonderful thing about Baby Reflexology is that it can either be provided by a qualified Reflexologist, or parents and carers can learn a number of basic and gentle techniques to treat their own babies - a wonderful gift for both the parent and baby.

Relexology can help with many issues such as:
- Colic
- Constipation
- Calming (fractious, distressed, irritable and /or unsettled) babies
- Positing / vomiting / reflux
- Poor feeding
- Teething
Dependant on the symptoms your baby is displaying you may wish to have an initial treatment from a Reflexologist and then follow it up with your own Baby Reflexology treatments.
When working with babies and their parents I will often treat a baby whilst explaining to their carer how to continue their treatment at home. With all the babies I have treated I very seldom need to treat them more than once or twice. This is because their carers so enjoy giving them treatments that symptoms do not have the opportunity to flare back up.
Baby Reflexology is a wonderful to learn, it can be used in many different ways and at many different times. Being hands on, it is a skill you can carry with you for life and a wonderful gift you can offer to your baby.
