Course programme

This course is designed as an advanced workshop reflexology course open to qualified Reflexologists.

Baby reflexology is a gentle form of reflexology adapted especially for babies, from one-month old to walking age. 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!

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. With knowledge of direct reflex points, associated reflex points and craniosacral balancing through the feet we can be more precise with our application to help with conditions such as colic and disturbed sleep patterns. By working on the digestive reflexes, we can help to relieve constipation and diarrhoea; on the solar plexus reflex can promote sleep and relaxation; on the chest, diaphragm, lymph, sinus and associated reflex points we can help relieve colds and respiratory ailments.

Of course, a baby does not need to be out of sorts to receive reflexology, it can be a very beneficial therapy to receive on a regular basis to stimulate growth and development, help maintain good health and strengthen the immune system.

As a Certified Baby Reflexology Instructor, you will be able to introduce parents and carers to the joy of light touch baby reflexology and lead them step by step through the suitable ‘routine’.
