Kid Session: This gentle approach prioritizes the child's comfort and well-being. Some common benefits include improved sleep, muscle tone, and respiratory, digestive, and immune functions. Research also shows stronger neural pathway development and self-regulation as well as improved joint mobility, injury recovery, and communication. Approach can enhance self-esteem and healthy boundaries; permission is sought often and builds choice around autonomy and consent. Safe touch often reduces anxiety, depression, aggression, hypersensitivity to tactile input, and touch deprivation. Pain and discomfort are also commonly relieved by massage. Techniques allow opportunities for bonding between child and guardian. Sessions are customized but usually pretty interactive and often include equipping guardian toward home care as we talk through the touch we're practicing. 60 minutes is ideal for first session; then, 30-min sessions are right for many kids. Some little ones do benefit from more time in continuing sessions. Traditional bodywork methods are adapted and utilized, but frameworks are different. For example, in accordance with pediatric massage expert Tina Allen, seven senses are considered with attention to how sensory input is attuned by child; Vestibular and Proprioceptive senses that manage balance, body awareness, and coordination are the two additions. Slightly warm or cool stones might be explored but no hot or cold is used. Flexible and creative presence encourages child to lead. Guardian must be present in the room for entire session. 2-year-olds to 12-year-olds are welcome.
