Questions and Answers

Q.   How old does my Baby have to be to attend a Baby Reflexology Course?

A.   Baby Reflexology can be used all through childhood – even teenagers love it as it brings back warm, secure feelings of their Parents’ loving touch!

What happens on a Baby Reflexology Course?

Baby Reflexology Courses run for one hour a week for three weeks. Mums (or Dads/Grandparents/Caregivers) are shown specific points for specific ailments and also a short routine to maintain health. To show you how your Baby will feel you may try out these reflex points on other Mums on the Course – not compulsory – (thereby receiving some treatment yourself!) before using them on your Baby. This helps familiarise you with the points and gives you the confidence to treat your own Baby.

How much does a Baby Reflexology Course Cost?

Baby Reflexology Course cost just £45 per adult. By running Courses with a minimum of 4 adults the cost
can be kept low. If you would like to host a Baby Reflexology Course in your home with a minimum of
4 adults as a way of a thank you the hostess will be offered a reduced price.

If you would like 1 to 1 tuition the sessions would cost £20 each – possibly only three sessions
would be necessary.
