What is Tiny Toes?

Tiny Toes Therapy is a specialised area of reflexology which works with the small, yet very responsive, feet of babies and toddlers. In much the same way that adults benefit from reflexology sessions, so to can your baby, it is a drug -free, non-invasive, soothing and very loving way of attending to some of your child’s health needs. Babies respond very well to short and gentle, yet regular reflexology sessions, it can help ease common complaints such as wind, colic or teething and is also a lovely way to relax with your baby whilst strengthening the bonds between the two of you.

How can Tiny Toes benefit my baby/toddler?

Babies love to be touched! The power of touch is incredibly healing, soothing and calming; your children will thrive when it experiences a consistent physical connection to you.

Simple reflexology techniques can help to alleviate many common issues that face new parents, their babies, and toddlers also, such as:

  • Colic
  • Trapped wind
  • Teething
  • Disrupted sleep
  • Over-tiredness
  • Colds
  • glue ear
  • ear infections

It can also help to support and encourage:

  • Establishing breastfeeding
  • A strong immune system
  • A healthy and effective digestive function
  • A strong nervous system
  • Healthy ear, nose and throat function
  • A strong sense of self

These techniques can easily become part of the bedtime routine, they are easy to do on the move if you have a particularly fractious toddler on your hands it can be a godsend to have a fast effective way of calming your child down - without having to resort to bribery and threats!

What happens during a Tiny Toes session?

The sessions usually last about an hour, and incorporates reflexology for yourself, interspersed with short, yet effective, reflexology on your babies, or toddlers feet. During the sessions you will also be shown a few techniques you can use yourself as and when you need them, or even every day as part of your regular routine.

If you are coming for a specific issue - such as colic - then this will be addressed thoroughly and you will be given specific techniques which you, or any other member of your family can use to help alleviate the symptoms. It is a horrible feeling to watch your baby struggle with the pain of trapped wind, not knowing how you can help, feeling powerless. Simple reflexology can help you to feel more in control and happier knowing that you have even more tools which you can use to care for your baby.

Tiny Toes Therapy also makes for an excellent gift for the special New Mum (or Dad!) in your life.

Reflexology & Breast Feeding

If you are struggling with breast feeding, and feel close to giving up, Tiny Toes Therapy can really help. I know from experience how frustrating and upsetting it can be if you are struggling to establish breast feeding - it is not always as straight-forward as many would have us believe.

The problem is the more, frustrated and worked up the baby gets, the more frustrated and upset Mum gets. It then becomes almost impossible to get the baby latched on correctly, and stress of the situation can also prevent the ‘let down’ reflex of the milk. By being in a soothing, supportive and empathetic environment, as well as experiencing the deep relaxation that reflexology gives it can be much easier to just ‘let go’, it can ease the pressure that you are inevitably putting yourself under. When you are calm your baby tends to follow suit, and when your baby is calm and relaxed it is much more likely to latch on correctly and effectively.
