Baby Reflex

I have had some wonderful results treating babies and children with reflexology and now working under the banner of ‘Baby Reflex’ I am teaching parents to treat their own babies with a 3 week course.

What is Baby Reflex:

Baby Reflex is a 3 week course teaching parents a very gentle style of reflexology designed for treating their own babies up to 24 months old. 

 

The methods used are to help parents with the following:

• Calming
• Improve sleep patterns
• Boost the immune system
• Help unblock sinuses
• Calm reflux
• Relief with colic, constipation and wind
• Teething
• Ear relief – ache, popping or blocked ears
• Nose complaints
• Throat complaints
• Insect and Jelly fish stings

Baby Reflex is a wonderful activity for parents to help the bonding process.  We naturally hold baby’s feet and play games like ‘This Little Piggy…’ so why not build this in to your routine with extra knowledge that you are doing good and having fun at the same time.

One of the major bonuses with learning these techniques is that it can be done anywhere, in a bus queue, at the supermarket.  Socks don’t necessarily need to be removed which is great if baby is in an all-in-one!

Where has it come from?

Baby Reflex was pioneered in the UK by a Chartered Physiotherapist & Qualified Reflexologist, Jenny Lee MCSP MAR.  The techniques used have been developed over 15 years worth of work and research examining the effects of Reflexology on childhood asthma.  The studies revealed reduced effects of asthma, better sleep patterns, better abilities to relax, an improved “quality of life” and most importantly a real enjoyment of the Reflexology treatment.

Most excitingly Baby Reflex has now been taught to qualified Reflexologists world wide.

How does Baby Reflex work?

Baby Reflex works in the same way as in adult treatments but it is adapted to the needs and size of those little feet.

What happens in the sessions?

Baby Reflex can be taught on a one to one basis or in small groups, no more than 4 Mums/Dads plus their baby.

An initial consultation form will need to be filled out and signed by the parents after reading the ‘Guidelines for parents’ and then the sessions can begin!

There are 3 weekly sessions 1 hour long.  During the session you will be taught by me (A qualified Reflexologist/Baby Reflex Trainer).

Each week is divided into bite-size chunks:

Week 1:  Feeding / Digesting

Week 2:  Sleeping / Comforting

Week 3:  Wellbeing

Practice will be done on each other (the parents) in a fun and informative environment, with visual aids to help.  At the end of the session each parent will practice the methods taught on their own baby with my guidance.

These are fun sessions for parents and baby. If working in a group it’s a great way to meet other Mums, create new friendships and be in a supporting environment.
