Christine Jackson Reflexage Instructor
What is Reflexage?
Tiny Toes Reflexage combines elements of baby reflexology, baby massage and movement. It is an effective way of communicating, connecting and calming your baby. Babies first language is touch and through reflexology and massage using safe gentle effective techniques you can enhance your bond and aid many early discomforts.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a relaxing complementary therapy that has been practised for thousands of years. It is based on the principle that every part of your body has corresponding points on your feet.
Baby reflexology has been created in a gentle form and requires no creams or oils and can be done anywhere anytime.
All you need is their bare feet!
Massage
Massage for babies was first introduced around 30 years ago in neonatal wards to support the development of premature babies in intensive care units. Studies showed that babies who were massaged regularly spent less time in hospital and had fewer postnatal complications.
Massaging a baby regularly has many benefits for parents and babies, combined with reflexology only enhances the benefits further.

Classes
All classes are kept small and cosy to ensure a high level of support and you will complete the course feeling confident in the techniques you have been shown. Courses run for 4 weeks and are suitable from 4 weeks of age to crawling. Many parents prefer to wait until their baby has had their first health check at 6 weeks.
I also offer 1-1 support if classes are not suitable for you.
As qualified reflexologists we can also offer your baby advanced reflexology treatments if they are suffering with any conditions. A fully history of health issues will be taken prior to start of course. Throughout the course you will be provided with illustrated sequences to use at home.
