B E N E F I T S O F B A B Y M A S S A G E Baby massage is only bene-ficial if it is welcomed so rather than insist on a full massage, in Daisy Baby, every class is completely baby led so working with babies wants and needs during the early days and even if your baby is not in the mood for a massage, you can still be involved in the class. Daisy Baby is a combina-tion or baby massage, baby yoga, sensory stimulation and calming techniques for baby and post natal move-ment for mums. Tinies class for babies around 6-24 weeks are Wednesdays 10-11am or 11.30am-12.30 and the next term starts Wednes-day 9th January 2013. Wrigglers is a much livelier class for babies around 5 months to mobile and the next term starts Tuesday 8th January 10-11am.

Touch is our most sensitive sense and is the most es-sential communication channel for babies because they sense, understand and experience it more than any other stimulation. Ba-bies need this because it affects their mind and bod-ies’ development, health and strengthens the bond between parent and child facilitating a happier and healthier future life. Baby massage is a wonder-ful form of positive touch for babies and has many benefits. Massage can help improve circulation, improve muscle tone through improved circulation of oxygen around the body, aid ossifi-cation improving bone growth; it can aid immunity by stimulating the lymphat-ic system and aids respira-tion by relaxing the chest muscles. It also helps loos-en up babies’ muscles.

One of the most common uses of infant massage is to aid the digestive system. Abdominal massage can help aid the peristalsis around the colon. It can influence intestinal func-tions by stimulating the vagus nerve to allow food absorption in newborn babies. Speeding up this natural process of the nerv-ous system can also help babies suffering from re-flux. Trapped wind and constipation are very com-mon in young babies and can be relieved with mas-sage of the abdomen and back. Baby massage can also en-hance emotion and im-prove mood in both parent and baby and has shown benefits in treating and preventing post natal de-pression. Massage can also help drain sinuses and ex-cess mucus on the chest.

So have you made any

resolutions this year?

Stop smoking? Lose

weight? Exercise more?

Stop being stressed? Be

happier? Work harder?

Have more confidence?

Battle Fears or Phobias?

Do you think you will stick

to them?

Most people try to stick to

their resolution using will

power alone and that is of-

ten why they give up after

just a couple of weeks.

One way of im-

proving your

chances of keeping

your resolution is

to re-educate your

mind into the new

way you want to

N E W Y E A R ’ S R E S O L U T I O N S ?

behave. You get rid of the

old patterns and put in the

new ones and hypnothera-

py can be very helpful in

helping you change your

old habits into new positive

ones.

Contact our hypnothera-

pists Suzanne or Paul for a

one to one session or to join

the next Weight Control

Group starting Thursday

10th January at 7pm.

Meditation

Relaxation, like most things, is something we learn. It's something that gets easier with practice. Using gentle relaxation techniques we can train our minds and bodies to relax with ease. This can help with sleep problems, stress, anxiety and general relaxation. During an hour long Meditation class you will be guided through a series of images designed to calm the mind and relax the body.

Wednesdays 6pm.


Reflexology

During a treatment gentle pressure is applied to certain

reflex points on the feet, which correspond to various

organs and systems of the body, helping to unblock the

body’s energy pathways, and stimulating the body’s

own healing mechanism. The overall sensation is

generally deeply relaxing and can be used simply for

relief from the everyday pressures and stresses in life,

or as support for you and your body alongside conven-

tional medical treatment. Claire is a full member of the

Association of Reflexologists and

registered with the CNHC.
