Infant- / Children massage

A massage for your baby or toddler is primarily a sensory experience for your child. It helps your child take steps in its natural development. In addition to their mental well-being, you're also promoting their physical well-being and strengthening their life force. The child becomes better acquainted with themselves and their bodies. A massage stimulates the sensory organs. The massage is ideal for treating troubled children who suffer from sleep disorders, often catch colds, or have digestive problems. An abdominal massage relieves flatulence and abdominal pain. Children are often healthier and calmer after treatment.

In the first phase of a baby's life, the skin is a very important, if not the most important sensory organ. A massage helps myelin (a high-fat substance that envelops nerve fibers) form more quickly. The more myelin that surrounds a nerve, the better the transmission of stimuli between the brain and your child's muscles. Muscular coordination improves and the baby's sense of perception is also practiced. Regular massages help babies to cry less, sleep longer and healthier, and lead more balanced, attentive, and curious lives.

With today's performance pressure and constant overstimulated, children often succumb to a variety of stress symptoms. The pressure of schedules and planned free time makes many children unable to rest. Increasing problems and violence in society are another problem that burdens children.

It has been proven that a lack of touch and tactile stimulation leads to higher levels of aggression. Gentle touch affects the autonomic nervous system. Massage produces hormones that can be stored in the connections between the nerve cells (synapses). These hormones have a soothing and relaxing effect.

In summary, a massage will help your child to relax and be calm, relieve muscle tension, and stimulate blood circulation in the skin and muscles. Their sense of well-being is strengthened and it puts them in a good mood. It also improves their ability to concentrate and learn. Their circulation and the immune systems are strengthened; children that receive massages become ill less often. It promotes regular sleep and digestive patterns. Exaggerated mental states are lowered and stress reduced. Their sensory perceptions and body awareness improve.

Please understand that I only massage children ages 6 months and older. And it is very important to me that I only perform the massage if the child gives their consent and really wants it.
