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 foot 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..?!

Course programme
There are endless benefits for bebies receiving reflexology.
It is suitable for new born, right though childhood and into adulthood.
With knowledge of direct & 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 we 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.
