Baby Reflex
Help your baby naturally with Baby Reflex
This is a specially adapted reflexology technique for babies and toddlers, developed following 15 years of research by Jenny Lee into the effect of reflexology on childhood asthma, see Jenny’s website www.babyreflex.co.uk. Baby Reflex is taught to parents (or even grandparents), in order to relieve some of the discomforts babies experience. It soothes and calms baby, and enhances the natural bond between parent and child.
Baby Reflex Aims to:
- Boost the Immune System
- Ease Colic, wind or reflux
- Relieve Constipation and tummy upsets
- Help teething pains
- Help ear congestion
- Improve the bonding process
- Calm the baby and improve sleep patterns
The techniques are taught either on a one to one basis or in small groups, (which is a great way to meet other mums and to make new friends). A baby reflex course consists of three sessions lasting an hour each (one a week). During each session parents are shown simple techniques and how to tailor the treatment to their own baby or toddler. Easy to read foot charts are provided to help master the technique.
Parents or groups of mums can learn the reflexology techniques on each other prior to practising on their own child.
Please note: this does not qualify you to use baby reflexology on other babies - just your own.
These workshops can be organised in the parents home or in a local clinic with a small group of parents.
If you would prefer that a treatment is given to your baby or child please look at our reflexology for children page.
