Baby/Youth/Teen Reflexology under 12 years
(Foot & Hand Reflexology is an ancient, holistic medical practice involving the application of focused pressure to specific points (reflexes) on the feet & hands using thumb and finger techniques.
Reflexology is based on the principal that these points correspond to organs, tissues, glands and body systems.
Through the application of pressure on the reflex points, a reflexologist can help to unblock imbalances to restore the free flow of energy to the body, thus helping the body return to a state of harmony or natural balance.
Reflexology is suitable for babies from birth and small feet are easy to treat. I’ll show you how.
Benefits
Reflexology is deeply relaxing for babies, but it can also help manage a host of childhood issues such as sleep problems, colic & digestive issues and teething pain. The benefit of Reflexology for babies & children is that it can be done in minutes, any time anywhere and smaller sessions more frequently during the day are preferred.
You can use reflexology as a natural healing therapy for acute illnesses as well as a preventative maintenance tool for good health.
Reflexology can be incredibly beneficial to Teens and adolescents. The pressures faced by teenagers are enormous, from exam stress to social media peer pressure, hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, concentration difficulties, mood swings, short attention span, lack of enthusiasm, depression, clumsiness, learning disorders, etc. Teens experience unique physical and mental changes and challenges everyday. Adolescence is a stressful time, because becoming an adult isn’t easy.
Reflexology encourages the body to relax and relieve tension. It helps calm the production of the stress hormone cortisol and increase the production of the happy hormone serotonin.
