Offering preventative medicine

Massage is a great way of preventing your baby from becoming sick or stressed by maintaining his health. Regular massage keeps the body in homeostasis (balance) by increasing circulation, improving the efficiency of the elimination process, relieving stress, and improving immune function. Massage is a simple and effective way of preventing illness.

Treating physical problems

Here are some common ailments or physical problems that massage can help alleviate. Massage can be an effective treatment for the following problems common to babies:

  • Slow weight gain
  • Teething
  • Colic
  • Sleep problems
  • Stress
  • Digestive troubles
  • Chest and sinus congestion

    Easing emotional stress

    Massage can also help babies deal with emotional issues, such as the following:

  • Attachment/bonding
  • Socializing
  • Relaxation

    Having faith

    Faith is an elusive quality. We invite you to have faith in massage as an approach to healing, as well as in your ability to administer it. Your baby can and will enjoy your loving touch, and using this opportunity to heal and help your loved one is a powerful and empowering experience.

    In the United States, we tend to turn to doctors, hospitals, and the pharmaceutical industry for health and healing. But for centuries, the Asian cultures (particularly the Chinese) have relied rather successfully on holistic, hands-on healing practices. Massage is both a medical and a holistic treatment.
