Toddler and Children Therapies
Looking for childrens’ complementary therapies? Based in South Bristol, there’s a range of choices you can choose
Refresher baby massage
As your baby starts to roll or begins to crawl, you’ve probably stopped massaging them. Don’t worry, its’s common! When your baby can move, things are much too interesting to stay still for a massage. Between the ages of 2 and 3 you’ll probably find your child is likely to take an interest again. Even though it’s called baby massage, you can reintroduce baby massage strokes you know.
When you’ve taken a break from massage though, you may feel you’ve lost confidence about how to safely massage your child. A refresher course can remind you of the massage moves. It can also teach you ways to adapt the massage for your child. Massage is a great way to reinforce positive touch to your child, and it can be a time when your child chooses to talk and share things with you. It will help you maintain a good bond, moisturise their skin, and lets you enjoy quality time together.
Looking for a therapy for your child?
If you would like your child to have a therapy, you can choose an appointment from any of the therapies I offer. If your child chooses massage, we can include essential oils ended for them. I hold a DBS certificate and you will need to be present while your child has their therapy.
I would recommend you book a half hour appointment for your child. If I am seeing cues to suggest your child would prefer a shorter session, I’ll stop after 20 minutes and charge accordingly. If your child is used to being massaged, you may feel they would prefer an hour. You are welcome to do so, but please be aware you will charged for the full hour even if your child has decided they want to stop their therapy. You can book the half hour or hour appointment on my booking system. If you would prefer 20minutes, book a half hour appointment and add to the notes the age of the child and that you would like a 20minute appointment
Massage Refresher
Forgotten the massage strokes or feeling unsure about how to adapt it for your older child?
This refresher baby massage session will teach you how to adapt massage as your child grows. You’ll discover how to adapt a traditional baby massage routine, keep it fun, and make it age appropriate for your growing child
Bespoke Massage
Need bespoke support?
If you have a specific issue, we can focus on providing a holistic approach. During an appointment we’ll put together a combination of different techniques, such as massage, reflexology and aromatherapy to provide support
Story Massage
This is great for toddlers or children who don’t want to sit still for long and you can learn how to use massage and short stories on your baby’s back. The stories can be ones already written or you can get creative and make your own – it’s about you and your child’s imagination
