A gentle full-body assessment will then be carried out to identify areas of tightness, tension, or restriction that may be affecting movement, comfort, feeding, sleep, or general wellbeing.

Using light touch therapy, soothing massage, and gentle stretching techniques, we aim to help your baby feel more relaxed, settled, and comfortable.

We understand every baby is unique, and parents are encouraged to ask questions throughout the session in a calm and supportive environment.

Using light touch therapy, soothing massage, and gentle stretching techniques, the session aims to encourage relaxation, improve comfort, and support your baby’s natural development.
