Join Our First Ever Baby Reflexology Class at Ask the Midwife!
We’re thrilled to introduce our very first Baby Reflexology class, starting on Monday, February 24th for a five-week term. Led by the wonderful Lisa, this class is a fantastic opportunity to bond with your baby while learning the gentle art of reflexology.
Each session includes tea, coffee, and treats, along with plenty of time to connect with other mums in a relaxed, welcoming space.
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a gentle, therapeutic touch technique that focuses on specific reflex points in the feet, which correspond to different organs, glands, and systems within the body.
How Does it Work?
By stimulating these reflex zones in the feet, reflexology helps to:
- Support the nervous system (with 7,000 nerve endings in the feet!)
- Encourage relaxation and emotional well-being
- Promote overall health and balance in the body
Touch is one of the most soothing and beneficial factors in a child’s emotional and psychological growth. Reflexology offers a gentle way to support this development from an early age.
Common Questions:
How long does the treatment take?
Baby reflexology is quick and simple! Since babies have small feet, the reflex points can be covered efficiently in just a few minutes.
Will it hurt my baby?
Not at all! The touch is very light and gentle. Babies explore their world through touch, starting from as early as 8 weeks in the womb. Reflexology can help nurture this natural connection and support their healthy development.
What if my baby cries during class?
That’s completely normal! Babies cry for many reasons—hunger, teething, tiredness, or discomfort. We encourage you to follow your baby’s cues, pausing the treatment as needed to attend to their needs.
What do I need to bring?
We provide mats and bolsters for comfort. You may wish to bring a small toy or comforter for your baby. We also have changing facilities on-site and extra supplies if needed!
