Benefits Of Infant Massage

Touch is one of the most significant and nurturing early experiences your baby will have. Research has shown that these early experiences can affect many aspects of our lives. Nurturing touch has long-term benefits and can impact how we think, feel, and relate to others, and most importantly, how we value and care for ourselves. Infant massage greatly enhances the early bonding relationship between parents and caregivers and their babies. By using gentle, tactile stimulation along with loving verbal communication, a wonderful bonding experience is shared. Strokes can be either stimulating or relaxing, depending on your baby’s needs and developmental level.

Infant Massage benefits your baby in the following specific ways:

Parents are shown how to massage their babies using a simple routine. They are encouraged and supported to bond and communicate with their babies. Both baby and parent relaxes. It is nice for parents to have an excuse to slow down and enjoy getting to know their baby.

Noreen teaches baby massage to the Babytalk group which is run in the HSE centre in the Maritime hotel Bantry by the Bantry Community Development Centre. 

Alternatively, Noreen also provides private one to one classes in her massage clinic. Noreen keeps the one to one classes at a reasonable rate as she feels baby massage is something every baby should have the oppurtunity of experiencing.

Whether you attend the group or private classes all you need to bring is yourself and your baby. Noreen provides the oil and notes to take home and the room is set up for your massage.

Reiki

Reiki is the Japanese word for universal life energy. Reiki combines the utilization of the lifeforce that is present in all living things -ki- with the warm reassurance and healing power of human touch. Reiki is a gentle yet powerful non-invasive treatment, the client remains fully clothed throughout the treatment. During the treatment the practitioner will place their hands gently on different positions of the body and let the healing energy of Reiki flow. This increases and balances energy, releases stress and deeply relaxes, helps release emotions and assists the body's natural ability to heal. Reiki is a beautiful, deeply relaxing and recharging treatment. It is safe in pregnancy and for people with serious health problems.
