Baby and Toddler Light Touch Reflexology is a wonderful way to bond with your little one as well as helping them feel better and more relaxed.
It can help with many ailments typical of this stage, such as colic, colds, teething and sleeping problems.
The therapist will teach the parents how to perform the easy techniques to help their baby or toddler. These techniques are feather like touch and are great for soothing a distressed infant. You will learn techniques to aid with feeding and digestion, sleeping and comforting and general wellbeing, eye, ear and nose complaints and teething pains.
When performed on babies the techniques are done on the feet with a feather light touch, as babies are very sensitive and receptive.
When performed on toddlers, the techniques are done on the hands using nursery rhythms. During this time you will have a chance to spend quality time with your little one whilst at the same time knowing that you are helping them feel better, more relaxed and reducing their discomfort and pain.
Once you have learned the techniques from your therapist, you will be able to apply them on your baby or toddler every day, if necessary. It will take as little as 15 minutes a day to perform the techniques which can be done before bath time, before nap time or any time convenient to the parent and child.
