Child & Baby Reflexology
Reflexology for Children
Children's Reflexology sessions are designed to support children closer to school age with 1-2-1 treatment in the company of a parent. I provide therapeutic support for children and young people; using my background in Psychology and Reflexology to support children and young people through trauma, bereavement and social and emotional difficulties. Treatments are short (20mins) due the requirements of the AOR, but also to ensure Child is happy and gaining benefit from the treatment. These treatments are especially good for children who have an ongoing health issue, struggle to regulate their emotions or behaviour and who suffer with spectrum disorders.
Please get in touch for further information.

Therapeutic Session
Therapeutic sessions are specialist pieces of work with children who need a little more support than their peers, they could be suffering from trauma or PTSD, struggling with behaviour, sleep, bereavement, or diagnosed with spectrum disorders making self-regulation harder. I usually recommend between 5-10 sessions to see the greatest benefit for children as the first few sessions we will concentrate on building relationships and learning basic reflexology techniques to support them. As we move through the programme, I will teach the caregiver how to perform reflexology so the child is supported at home and can self-support, so they have control over their regulation. I have seen positive results over the years with children who have stopped talking, have medical conditions that cause them to not be able to self-regulate such as ME, stress, anxiety, eating disorders and PTSD and supporting children who have been bereaved.
Please get in touch for an informal chat to discuss your needs.
Schools Programme
Mrs Tickly Toes School Programme is aimed at children from 5-18 years and teaches techniques to self treat. Children will experience a session of games and activities incorporating basic reflexology techniques that they can use at home or in the classroom to help with stress, anxiety and general wellbeing.
The techniques include the principles of basic care, managing stress and anxiety and support for children, especially those sitting exams or struggling with mainstream education.
Sessions are designed around the schools needs and can be tailored to provide sessions for smaller more vulnerable nurture groups to help with behaviour and emotional difficulties. I also offer CPD for staff training that can be delivered on inset days to help teachers guide their students in the power of positive touch and help children to self regulate.
If you don't see above the service that your school needs then please get in touch; I will be able to write a specific programme to support your pupils.

Testimonials
"Today we have a sleeping George where this time of day is usually the pain and distress of colic. I would definitely recommend baby reflexology. We have already seen results and George enjoyed the different techniques. It was really good to share with older babies and see how they engaged we can definitely see the benefit of a top up session when he is older. Also a big thank you for my gentle touch taster. I'll be booking in for a full session for myself

"We attended the babyflex class with our 6 month old little girl and we would definitely recommend to anyone. It was a really relaxed and enjoyable class. Heather really knows her stuff and our little one seemed to enjoy herself - she was so chilled she fell asleep and let us tickle her toes whilst asleep! Thanks very much Heather. Xx"
"Thanks very much for a brilliant reflexology experience, Heather. Georgina has been so chilled out and relaxed since today’s session and far less fretful than normal. It has been lovely! The work we did on the bowel area has also been highly effective in moving things through!"
"I am so pleased I was told about Heather when our daughter was suffering with bronchitis.
We never had a reflexology treatment before but were prepared to try anything after a week of not sleeping.
Heather came to our house for bedtime. She was great with our daughter, Grace. Made a bond straight away which helped with the treatment. We would have a bad night again, but she slept through the night after and she was over her bronchitis just in two days.
Now Heather has treated the whole family and we will keep using her in the future."
"a delightful treat for me but also a helpful, essential treatment for my baby who needs me to have the skills to help him when he is unable to tell me what he needs. delivered by a woman who fully believes in helping people with the magic she delivers x"
"Really lovely workshop! my little one completely involved herself in the pampering and was relaxed and smiley throughout. I feel better equipped to understand what I can do to support her more through her more challenging times and it is a lovely way to bond with bambino. Heather's lovely, super helpful and clearly passionate about what she does. I would thoroughly recommend Mrs Tickly Toes - Thank you!"
"Wow what a fantastic session learning so much useful info about development and support through the different stages of babyhood. Heather is so warm and lovely with the children and puts the whole room at ease. I am so pleased to have found a tool to use when my baby is really suffering with her teeth and how to help relax her for bedtime.
Brilliant class and fully recommend x"
"Had a great session! Both myself and my husband took our 4-month-old, and it was nice to do something different together. Heather was very knowledgeable, was great with the babies and was very patient with ours!! Would recommend this for people to try with little ones!"
"I attended a group baby reflexology session with my wife and little boy. I learnt techniques that have been useful. Heather was very welcoming, and the class was very relaxed."
"My daughter and I went to Heather’s class in June not knowing much about reflexology at all. Heather was extremely welcoming, knowledgeable and supportive and gave me to confidence to try the techniques myself. My daughter does not have any specific issues, but it relaxed her after a bath ready for bed and just a lovely bonding experience. Thanks Heather!"
"Heather provided my partner and I, along with our 3-month-old son a private one to one session at our home. She kept us well informed regarding her arrival and arrived promptly with lots of resources. Heather explained everything to us and delivered an amazing session! This was particularly useful for my husband as he often misses being a part of classes. Heather was great at delivering the session at our own pace, e.g., pausing when our son needed a feed or another nappy change! We were so impressed with our session; my husband has booked adult sessions with her. We would highly recommend Heather and Mrs Tickly Toes. Her extensive knowledge has been valuable in helping to calm our son using the techniques learned in class. Thank you for everything!!!"
"My son has really bad colic and the reflexology has really helped to relax him. Such a lovely person who hosts it who really knows her stuff and takes a lot of time to attend to your individual needs. Would highly recommend."
