The Experience
The best time for baby’s massage is in the quiet alert state – just before baby is about to go to sleep or just upon waking.
It is always important to ask baby’s “permission” – so we look for positive cues that baby will accept massage – relaxed state, good eye contact, happy expressions. If these cues are not present or the change mid-way through treatment then it is best to try massage another time.
This treatment is available in studio or in the comfort of your own home – a small travel fee applies to mobile bookings.
