Baby reflex

Baby Reflex is a gentle form of reflexology created especially for little ones. Using specially adapted reflexology techniques, learn how to treat common baby ailments through touch. Baby reflex is a natural and effective treatment that promotes relaxation and improves sleep. In addition to improving babies wellbeing, it may reduce discomfort from colic, teething, wind constipation and reflux.

Baby reflex promotes bonding with your baby and reduces the incidence of postnatal depression through gentle, nurturing touch. Touch is your baby’s first language and strongest sense so babies love receiving reflexology treatments from their carers.

You will learn short reflexology routines for sleep digestion and general wellbeing. We provide comprehensive resources to help you practice with your baby at home.

“ Would highly recommend Heathers classes. My newborn suffered badly with reflux and the massage class not only helped with his reflux that but helped his sleep too.”
