SESSIONS
Shantala baby massage
A rhythmic massage originating from India, designed to strengthen the bond between parent and child and reduce any discomfort. Learn techniques that are also easy to apply at home.
Floating/hydrotherapy
Floating, also known as hydrotherapy, allows your baby to experience weightlessness in warm water. Floating contributes to your baby's development and can remove any obstacles.
Baby-yoga/ Spelmassage
A playful massage with techniques designed to stimulate your baby's flexibility and mobility. The exercises are inviting and fun, making them a joy to do.
Paramedical
The baby spa is a paramedical organization. This means it's not only a fun outing to enjoy with your little one, but can also contribute to their mental and physical development.
Before your appointment, we therefore ask you to complete an intake form so that we can tailor the session to your child's needs and address any contraindications.
Both floating (hydrotherapy) and baby massage are covered by your health insurance in some cases. Therefore, check your policy and let us know if you need an invoice for reimbursement.
Baby massage
This rhythmic massage originates from India. Massaging your baby strengthens the bond and love between parent and child, creating a foundation of trust and relaxation.
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 wonderful way for babies in incubators or babies who have had little to no contact with their parents for a long time due to illness to re-establish and further build contact.
You'll perform the massage yourself on your child under the supervision of our staff. We demonstrate the massage on a doll.
The massage takes about 15 minutes on average. This depends on your baby's stamina.
Suitable for babies from 6 weeks old up 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, thus contributing 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 two pools filled with warm water at approximately 36 degrees Celsius. After each session, the pools 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, with 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 and may vary based on a child's height, weight, and emotional state. The float rings are BPA-free and safe according to European standards.
The float time lasts between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on your baby's stamina.
Baby-yoga / Spelmassage
Under the guidance of a Baby Yoga instructor, you'll learn a variety of playful massage techniques. These techniques are designed to stimulate your baby's flexibility and mobility.
Babies love to play and connect. That's why baby yoga doesn't teach complicated techniques, but rather a fun and accessible way to interact with your little one. Baby yoga offers several advantages:
* Baby yoga stimulates your baby's flexibility and mobility
* Singing and talking is good for language development
* A number of techniques can help with discomfort, such as intestinal cramps
* Your baby's body awareness is growing
* The bond between parent and child is strengthened
* Provides relaxation and pleasure
A fun and playful way to spend time with your little one. Fun and relaxing for both of you!
