Well-being workshops for babies and children
During the session, I will show you movements based on specific protocols, performed on a doll. You will repeat them in real time on your child, in order to be able to do that at home. In case your baby is not very cooperative (if he is sleepy or overexcited) – no worry, I will give you a doll to practice on.
Workshops can be held individually, namely at your home, or in a group of at most 4-5 families. They can be open to your choices of topics, or focused on particular ones, like stomach pains.
I hold workshops also in children’s establishments, like nurseries, kindergartens and schools.
Children Yoga workshop
Children are exposed to daily stress. They are required to comply with society’s rules, to compete with their classmates, and to manage their emotions.
Children Yoga helps children grow better. Actually, it enables them:
to gain self-confidence and force
to relieve their tensions and emotions
to look favorably at learning
to know how to concentrate
to feel one’s balance
to help calming down and to let-go
Children Yoga sessions include postures and activities, made in a playful manner, without competition or the quest of “performance”. They are real moments of well-being and fun for the children.
Sessions are held in two age groups: 3-5 and 6-12 years.
Baby Yoga workshop
In this workshop, we work on the postures that foster the baby’s movements. Baby Yoga benefits are many, including:
stimulating the development of the baby’s motor skills
relieving several pains
releasing tensions
freeing emotions
developing the senses (sensory awakening)
The movements are made to the baby’s rhythm, slowly and gently.
This workshop is designed for babies from birth to the age of around 18 months, or until they start walking.
My fees
A workshop session takes one hour.
The fee for an individual session at home is €60.
The fee for a collective session is €35.
Well-being Massage for babies
Massage has many benefits for the baby. It:
relieves certain ailments, like intestinal gas, colic, constipation, or teeth aches
helps relieve tension and emotions
helps soothe evening weeping
helps develop motor skills
helps improve sleep, thanks to the release of feel-good hormones
strengthens the bond and attachment between parent and baby
A baby massage session is a real break and relaxation time in an often busy and stressful daily life.
The massage session is meant for babies from birth until they learn to walk.
Massage protocols are not therapeutic.
I offer a discovery session, or a cycle of 4 sessions ideally spaced one week apart, to learn the gestures of complete body massage. The themes of the 4 sessions are: introduction to massage, relieving/soothing aches, soothing crying, helping develop motor skills.

strengthens the bond and attachment between parent and child
The child will also learn to relieve himself using self-massage movements.

Massage protocols are not therapeutic.
I offer a discovery session, or a cycle of 5 sessions ideally spaced one week apart, to allow the child to fully integrate the gestures. The themes of the 5 sessions are: calming down, helping develop motor skills, releasing emotions, reducing stress, restoring energy.
