SESSIONS
Shantala baby massage
A rhythmic massage originating from India, intended to strengthen the bond between parent and child and reduce any complaints. Learn techniques that are also easy to apply at home.
Floating/ hydrotherapy
Floating, also known as hydrotherapy, lets your baby experience what it is like to be weightless in warm water. Floating contributes to your child's development and can remove any obstacles.
Baby-yoga/ Spelmassage
A playful massage with techniques that are aimed at stimulating the flexibility and mobility of your baby. The exercises are inviting and fun and therefore a party to do.
Paramedical
The baby spa is a paramedical organization. This means that it is not only a very nice outing to do with your child, but can also contribute to the mental and physical development of a baby.
Before your appointment, we therefore ask you to complete an intake form so that we can tailor the session to the needs of your child and address any contraindications.
Both floating (hydrotherapy) and baby massage are in some cases reimbursed by your health insurance. Therefore, check your policy and let us know if you need an invoice for declaration.
Baby massage
This rhythmic massage originates from India. Massaging your child strengthens the bond and love between parent and child. A basis of trust and relaxation is created.
Besides the fact that the massage is very relaxing and fun to do, the massage can also help with;
* Reducing intestinal cramps
* Overstretched
* Restless babies
* Babies who cry a lot
This is also a great way to restore and further build contact for babies in incubators or babies who have had little or no contact with their parents due to illness for a long time.
You then perform the massage yourself on your child under the supervision of our staff. We perform the massage on a doll.
The massage time lasts an average of 15 minutes. This depends on the stamina of your baby.
Suitable for children from 6 weeks old to crawling age (approximately 7 months).
Floating/ Hydrotherapy
In a specially designed mini jacuzzi your child will have the opportunity to splash around to their heart's content and enjoy the freedom of being weightless in the water. Floating promotes both emotional and physical growth and thus contributes to;
* Muscle development
* Immune system
* Breathing
* Digestion
* Blood circulation
Hydrotherapy can help if your child suffers from:
* Cramps
* Poor sleep pattern
* Reflux
* Cries a lot
* Eczema
We have 2 baths filled with warm water of approximately 36 degrees. After each session the baths are cleaned and refilled. The water is purified and free of chlorine, soap, salt and chemicals.
For floating we use a special floating band/floats, where we have a choice of 4 options:
* Neck float (0- 6 months old)
* Chest float (0-12 months old)
* Back float (0-12 months old)
* Seat float (6-12 months old)
The above ages are guidelines, which can be deviated from based on the height, weight and the mood of a child. The float bands are BPA free and safe according to the European standard.
Float time is between 10 and 30 minutes. This depends on your baby's stamina.
