Reflexology for Babies and Children
The benefits of Reflexology for both babies and children are endless and, although sometimes underestimated, this wonderfully simple and effective therapy can be perfect for them. Amongst the many reasons why this therapy is so helpful, supportive and healing for the younger generation are that it can help them to become more confident, improve their sleep, reduce irritability or relieve physical discomfort. Reflexology is as suitable for a tiny baby as it is for a child or an adult. There are now children’s charities, organizations, schools and even doctors offering Reflexology for their young clients. This is wonderful news for all the babies and children who will benefit from Reflexology in their younger years and take this advantage into adulthood. Everyone wins!

Noticing the Three Potential Areas of Improvement
Gentle Touch™ Reflexology works on three levels:
  • Physical
  • Emotional
  • Energetic
A child responds to treatments in many ways, although not necessarily in the way anticipated. It is possible that the child has a physical problem. After treatment the child could seem to be more relaxed and noticeably coping better with life. However, that was not the anticipated outcome, but it is a real benefit nevertheless. The improvement with the physical concern may follow later as the child’s body may have internally prioritized that the emotional state of relaxation was the most important factor to be achieved and realized, before the physical issue could be addressed and resolved. A person may want a specific outcome but other benefits may come first. The recipient of a Reflexology treatment may experience the benefits in any combination of physical, emotional or energetic improvements. A balanced, healthy and happy child is a delight to have around. Reflexology can be one of the most soothing and enjoyable treatments that can assist a child towards achieving some, or all of these, potential improvements. Pay attention to all the improvements, even if they are not what you expected or planned! I look forward to serving you and your tiny humans. Message me for details and book your appointment today.
