BABIES

Birth has a big part to play in how your baby settles into their new environment, from one that is warm, soft and safe, to one that is perhaps a little big and noisy. So connecting with your baby is the most nurturing thing you can do – this will undoubtedly continue right through from how you bonded during pregnancy and directly after birth.

Baby massage is a wonderful way to continue that connection and bonding experience between you and your baby – for more information about our baby massage classes, see under ‘courses’.

There are also are many common health issues and symptoms that babies can suffer, such as colds, coughs, fevers, skin sensitivities and cradle cap. All of which can be supported by the use of gentle clinical aromatherapy.

Due to the purity and volatility of essential oils and the delicate nature and sensitivity of a baby’s skin, use of oils is always approached with awareness, knowledge and extreme care.

Some of the many conditions that can be supported by holistic therapy and clinical aromatherapy includes:

Allergies (hay fever, skin sensitivities)

Anxiety, stress and worry

Coughs, colds, sore throats

Digestive disorders (nausea, reflux, constipation, flatulence, colic)

Emotional wellbeing

Respiratory issues (croup, asthma, dyspnoea)

Sleep

Teething

Depending on the age of your baby, will very much determine the basis of the treatment. Prior to any treatment we would consult with you first to understand your baby’s medical history.

We offer home visits for babies, as it is really important they feel very comfortable and at ease within their surroundings. Our number one priority is to create a really safe, nurturing and trusted environment.

When using essential oils, we work with babies as young as 6 months of age.
