What if you could support your Child's health and well-being only using your hands?
As parents it is common to feel helpless when your child isn't well or is in pain. All you can do is give them cuddles and maybe some pain medication.
Does your child seem to catch every cold that goes around or are they struggling to have regular bowel movements and everytime they try and have a poo they get distressed and seem in agony.
Perhaps your baby's nose is blocked and they can't feed or sleep, which means you won't be getting much sleep.
What about when they are teething and their gums are inflamed and sore and you are all having sleepless nights.
You would give anything to just take it all away from them and make them feel better, if only you could.

Reflexology is a holistic therapy (treats body as a whole) using a specific massage technique on the feet or hands to restore balance. When the body is balanced it is able to work the way it was meant to.
When you are relaxed you are better able to sleep and have a better quality of sleep. As Reflexology is deeply relaxing it will help improve sleep.
Yes you can. It is best to treat at the first sign of your little one struggling with something to help boost the immune system. The first sign is usually lethargy or feeling tired and sleeping more than usual. Make sure your pressure is light when they are sick as their reflexes will probably be more sensitive than usual.
Yes. Reflexology is great at boosting the immune system and preventing illness as well as maintaining good health. When we are balanced our bodies are designed to fight off infection.
The only way a baby can communicate with you when they are uncomfortable is through crying. It is their language, different cries mean different things. Reflexology will help if there is discomfort in their body by returning the balance, for example, moving along any trapped wind. It also helps to release endorphins, which are feel good hormones which also help ease pain. It is extremely relaxing and helps you connect with your baby.
Yes they can. The reflexes are the same they just have bigger feet. I will look at putting a course together for older children with a bit more detail and focusing on areas/concerns specific to them in the near future.
Yes. Reflexology will help to move that trapped wind along and out and the endorphins released will help with pain.
Yes. The Reflexology technique to work the colon will help move things along and it is common for babies to have a bowel movement during or straight after a treatment. The bowels also relate to holding on and it may be worth looking at how you are feeling as baby is strongly connected to you and may sense how you are feeling and mirror that. When you are relaxed, the bowels can let go.

Supporting abandoned babies and helping to find them forever homes
This organisation is close to my heart after having volunteered with them for a year before leaving South Africa. I gave weekly treatments to the babies in their care and was amazed at the transformation I saw in them after having such a rough start in life. I loved the big smiles that greeted me when I arrived every week. So in support of them 10% of every course purchased will be donated to support their great work.
