Shantala Baby and Toddler Massage

Next to being a doula I am as well a certified Shantala baby and toddler massage teacher. During the course I teach you all of the techniques of the Shantala Baby massage method. 

Shantala was an Indian mother, who massaged her baby( as many mothers in india do) daily. French Doctor Fredric Leboyer observed her massaging her son and brought these techniques back to Europe and made modification to best suit our Western lifestyle. As an act of gratitude he named this massage technique "Shantala".

Baby massage is a lovely and easy way for the father or mother to relax together with their baby, connect and work on your bonding.  Through loving attention during the massage you are very conciously and mindfully present for your baby, in a different manner than during the daily practices like feeding, changing and caring.

De babymassage is not only fun to do, but is as well a beautiful way to show your love to your baby, give them a sense of security, responsivity and self confidence. Regular massaging as well has a positive effect on babies who experience complaints such as colics, unrest or cry a lot.

Massage stimulates the development of the senses, touch, circulation, muscle development and bodily awareness of your baby. 

Bonus: After the massage your baby will go in the Tummy Tub, a bath in which your baby experiences a snug and secure feeling as their did in the womb.

De Baby massage course is suited for one parent (mother or father) with a baby from 6 weeks until about 8-9 months.
