Baby Reflexology Drop In

Friday 26 March

10.00am - 12.00noon

Free

Reflexology is the practice of applying pressure to specific points on the feet (or hands) to help the body achieve balance, relaxation, good health and general wellbeing.

Reflexology for children can begin at birth - this gentle stimulation of the newborn's feet or hands will help develop that important bond between parent and baby. It's also a valuable tool for parents to help children cope with stress in a very healthy and nurturing way. Gentle pressure is used for infants and children, helping with allergies, digestion (colic, upset stomach), insomnia (sleeplessness), constipation, bed wetting, teething and more.

First of a series of drop ins (last Friday of the month) to enable parents /carers the opportunity to learn techniques to practice at home. If you have any queries or concerns and want a natural and gentle remedy come along.
