Baby Reflexology Workshops
Baby Reflexology is a natural, non-intrusive therapy which can aid your child's health and well-being.
The workshops will show you simple and gentle techniques to the feet or hands which will help to soothe and clam your child whilst strengthening your bond.
What is a Baby Reflexology Workshop?
Baby Reflex workshops are a fun and easy way to learn specially adapted Reflexology techniques to aid your baby or toddler’s health and wellbeing.
Techniques are natural, non-intrusive and can eliminate or relieve discomforts and support a child’s growth, as well as encouraging natural bonding between the child and parents.
‘Baby Reflex’ workshops can only be taught by a fully insured qualified Reflexologist who belongs to the Association of Reflexologists and has re-trained and qualified as a ‘Baby Reflex’ Practitioner.
Why Baby Reflex?
Baby Reflex techniques are great skills to learn. Not only is reflexology a natural safe alternative to aid your child’s health and wellbeing, once in a routine it can make them feel safe and secure.
Studies have shown that regular positive touch releases oxytocin (the 'feel-good' hormone), helping increase bonding between parent and child. It can also reduce stress and aid brain development.
It is a great way to guarantee bonding time for you and your baby or toddler. In time they will look forward to their reflexology treatment, as they love routine and the gentle feather-like pressure is soothing and calming – so much so that many will fall asleep during their treatment!
Unlike standard baby massage, the Reflex techniques can be done fully clothed, meaning it can be done at anytime and anywhere.
How did Baby Reflex begin?
Jenny Lee (MCSP, MAR), a chartered Physiotherapist, Reflexologist and Teacher, who worked with Mothers and Young Children for over 15 years, carried out pilot studies with GPs designed to examine the effects of Reflexology on childhood asthma.
The results showed that the severity of asthma was reduced, the children slept better and had a greater ability to relax, which in turn improved their quality of life and increased the bond between child and parent.
Behaviour was better and the children enjoyed their treatments. It is due to these encouraging results that Jenny developed the concept of ‘Baby Reflex’.
Who can attend Baby Reflex Workshops?
This is not a training course to enable you to teach or use the techniques shown on any baby or toddler.
This workshop enables parents or guardians to use the techniques shown exclusively on their own baby or toddler.
