Is there anything more beautiful than tiny baby feet? Baby reflexology focuses entirely on those gorgeous little tootsies, offering a range of benefits for baby and caregiver. Find out more about how special baby reflexology is below.

 

What is reflexology?

Reflexology is an ancient natural complimentary therapy which is based on the theory that different points on the hands and feet correspond with different areas of the body. It is believed that by exerting varying pressures on specific areas of the hands and feet, we can encourage different areas of the body to respond.

 

What is so special about baby reflexology?

Baby reflexology is specifically adapted to increase bonding between parents and babies, and to help ease and relieve many normal baby discomforts.

Focusing entirely on those tiny feet, with baby reflexology the touch is very gentle but the results quite amazing!
