A little chat on Safety

There are times it’s not appropriate to massage your child and you need to really be able to listen to your child before you start to massage them.

Co-regulation

Co-regulation is the most important aspect of this massage.

Take time to get comfy, slow down, commit this time and put your child first. Massage releases oxytocin for you and your child and can calm your nervous system while you are calming theirs.
