Parents' Reflexology Workshops
BabyReflex is fun and easy to learn, simple to use, plus babies seam to love it! This form of reflexology had been specially adapted to meet the needs of baby and toddlers, children from 4 weeks to 3 years old. BabyReflex was created to help parents with the well being of their child and to strengthen the loving bond.
BabyReflex courses can only be taught by qualified Reflexologists who have had additional training. While this style of reflexology shares the same basic foot maps as traditional reflexology the techniques and approaches differ e.g. treatments last for only a few minutes and a very light touch is used.
Some of the possible benefits of BabyReflex are
• Improved sleep
• Easing colic, wind and tummy problems
• Reducing teething pain
• It can be done almost anywhere
• It only needs to be done for 5 minutes at a time
• Etc…
The development of BabyReflex stemmed from extensive research by Jenny Lee (a Chartered physiotherapist and Reflexologist) and Dr M Jovancevic (Head of the Primary Care Health Committee, Croatian, and Paediatric Society). Jenny Lee initially started her researched on children with asthma. She discovered “a constant side effect was improved sleep and mood”.
The course is taught over three, 1 hour lessons. Groups are kept small, with about 4-6 babies attendees per class. Small charts will be handed out at the end of each class to help you remember locations of the points we have learnt in that lesson. Mariea is also prepared to give 1:1 lessons to if requested.
Currently classes are being run at the Cornerstone Community centre, and the Hanover Community Centre. Mariea will also run groups in parents' homes. Any parent hosting a group at their home will receive a half price Well-being Brighton voucher to be used for a session of any of the treatments offered on this website.
