Infants, children & youths

45 MINS $90

As a parent I understand it takes a huge amount of trust to allow a practitioner to step into the circle of a child’s experience. Each child has their own tolerance levels and safety needs. My approach when working with children is very gentle and starts with familiarity. Consent from their parent/guardian is mandatory and throughout a session I continue to monitor comfort level and needs. The guardian/caregiver remains in the treatment room at all times and for infants and toddlers this often involves being held or supported by their parent/guardian.

Younger people do not have the attention span to remain still for very long so consultations are 45 minutes with the first 15 minutes focusing on familiarity, play, discussion, questions and ideas they may have. Once we establish connection then hands on treatment can commence. Craniosacral Therapy is particularly beneficial for babies and children. It is gentle, nurturing and supportive to infant issues such sleeplessness, irritability & teething. It is also very nourishing and emotionally supportive for young children and busy teenagers.

Reflexology is a delight for children, it can be an interactive treatment approach incorporating songs and rhymes. The reflex zones can address body systems such as digestion, circulation, lymphatics, endocrine system, nervous system, the senses and specific musculoskeletal regions. It is very calming with babies, children and youths often quieting down during a session. Teenagers also like reflexology for the modesty in remaining fully clothed and sit/lay face up semi reclined so we can have a good conversation if they like or they can zone out and drift off listening to some chilled tunes. Reflexology is the perfect antidote to exams and project deadlines.

Should you wish to make an appointment for you child or you have any questions, please give me a call. Thank you.
