Shantala BabyTouch

Shantala BabyTouch is a gentle 30-minute baby massage with Indian roots that supports the child's development, calms the nervous system and deepens the sense of security through conscious, mindful touch. The massage can be used safely from the first weeks of life (usually from around the 4th–6th week), when the baby responds more steadily to stimuli and accepts a calm working rhythm more easily. During the session I work very gently, in the baby's own rhythm – with full respect for its needs, signals and boundaries. Every baby is different, so the pace and scope of the massage are always individually adjusted. I am a certified Shantala instructor and my main mission is to pass this practice on to parents – so that they can massage their baby at home themselves, strengthening the bond, closeness and mutual trust. I also teach simple anti-colic massage techniques that support the baby's digestive system. Well-chosen movements help relax tension in the tummy, ease the passage of gas and can bring relief from colic and intestinal discomfort. At the parents' request I also perform the massage as a therapist – especially when support is needed with calming, regulating tension, sleep problems or colic. The session takes place in a calm, safe atmosphere, respecting the comfort of both baby and parent. I work with natural oils suitable for sensitive baby skin. Before the first appointment I will ask you to complete a short questionnaire about the baby's health and any contraindications, to ensure full safety and a well-matched session.
