Baby Reflexology for Parents Course

Baby Reflex techniques are reflexology techniques which have been specially adapted for babies. They are simple, effective, incredibly soothing and babies love them. Reflexology is a safe, natural, non-invasive complementary therapy. As reflexologists we believe that different body parts are mapped out on the hands and the feet, called reflexes. We use specific touch techniques to work these reflexes on the feet, to support babies health and wellbeing in a natural and gentle way.

Reflexology is a touch therapy, and we also know from numerous studies that regular nurturing touch, leads to the release of oxytocin in the body, which reduces stress levels, aids brain development and nourishes the bonding between parent and baby.

During the course (which consists of 3 classes ran over 3 weeks) I teach a full range of techniques that are easy to learn (and remember) and can be used anytime, anywhere. Each week we cover a different topic:


  • Week 1: Sleeping and Comforting (calming techniques to aid sleep and relaxation, which are a great addition to your little ones nap & bedtime routine).
  • Week 2: Feeding and Digesting (including techniques to help relieve colic, constipation, wind & reflux).
  • Week 3: Wellbeing (including techniques to support teething, colds/coughs and ear & eye complaints).


As a qualified clinical reflexologist, I can also teach any additional techniques specific to your babies needs if not covered in core course.


Classes are interactive workshops, with plenty time to practice on 'dolly feet' and your wee one. Groups are kept small, to create a supportive and relaxed environment, allowing you to learn a new skill, bond with your baby and meet other like minded parents.

Testimonials

“It was relaxing and peaceful. Gill made me feel welcome and comfortable.


I liked learning about the different parts of my feet and how they connect to my body. I want to go again..”

Theodore (Age 8)

“Gill instantly makes you feel at ease in her beautiful, calming studio space, always allowing me to fully relax. Her warm and caring approach, alongside her knowledge is very comforting. I always leave Gill's sessions feeling lighter, rejuvenated and relaxed, looking forward to my next appointment. I would highly recommend Gill to anyone that wants to take more care of their wellbeing.”

Hollie

“I absolutely love Gill’s approach to reflexology. I’ve been for both personal sessions and also recently to her baby/mum course with our 10 month old. Gill has a fantastic course for wee ones which explained simple, everyday reflexology moves which helped both me and my baby relax and sleep! It was amazing value for money and gave me skills as a mum which I will use for years to come. Gills studio is a beautiful, calm environment which is both inspiring and relaxing. All in all I would thoroughly recommend Gill’s classes/ sessions and approach - a “must visit self care practitioner” in Fife.”

Jenny

“I love my treatments with Gill! It is difficult to pinpoint exactly why but I can only trust the impact it has had on my everyday life and the sense of calm that I feel after an hour in Gill’s chair! Like many women, I am hugely guilty of putting the needs of my family first and foremost and I recognise that this is part of who I am and it is unlikely to change! I have reached the stage in my life where I am now negotiating the menopause and to say it’s been a journey is an understatement. From my early forties until now I have faced a rollercoaster of symptoms and emotions. I was really seeking an alternate route after medical interventions had for various reasons not really helped and a friend recommended Gill’s reflexology. Gill is open and friendly and has the ability and intuition to know what I need… or should I say my feet tell her! My sleep has improved dramatically and I am certainly less reactive and calmer in my day to day since starting my reflexology treatments. I could go once a month now but I choose to go every ten days! It is my treat to myself… which I have realised I deserve! If you recognise yourself in the above please give an hour in Gill’s capable hands a go. I promise you won’t regret it!”

Jen

“I have been coming to Gill for the last year and feel I have greatly benefitted from her treatments. She is kind, cheerful and intuitive and just makes you feel better. Her room is an oasis of tranquillity with its delightful surroundings and it is a time to switch off and enjoy the treatment. I am an older lady and wish when my children were babies they could have benefitted from her treatments. The booking system is easy and I like getting reminders. I always look forward to my trips to the clinic.”

Aileen

“I’ve been using my baby reflexology mostly on Dotty - nearly 3! She just loves it and asks "mummy do my feet" I find it really helps her when the emotions get too much for her. And is a great addition to calming her for bed. As she fast approaches three!!! She's experiencing some sleep regression and big feelings all of which quiet time, catching her breath and having her feet done very much help. ‘As for Nancy (7months) I use reflexology to help keep her bowls moving, especially now we're on our way with weaning. I just do this as part of her morning nappy change. (But I'm yet to carve out more time for us to use it as a connecting / relaxing time which is something I'd like to do.) I love having basic baby reflexology knowledge as it's a wonderful tool in my 'mummy toolkit' for both my girls.”

Nicola

“I was new to reflexology during my recent pregnancy, when someone on my birth team recommended Gill. I had sharp pain in a region which would be a bit intimate for a physiotherapist... so I thought I would give reflexology a try. I can only say good things: Gill was professional and had tremendous knowledge of the body, she has a beautiful, calming studio, and most importantly, she had the ability to relieve localized pain. I went regularly during the second half of my pregnancy and am convinced that this ritual of holistic care contributed to my ability to safely birth my baby at home. (I was even listening to the music she played at her practice while I was in labour due to its association to my relaxation!) While my pregnancy-related pain is now gone, I have continued to visit Hallen Reflexology (with my baby) and treasure the opportunity to both rest physically and rest in the knowledge that I am looking after my body and energy.”

Chloe

“Having had reflexology and loved it while pregnant, I took my newborn to Gill for a mother and baby session. She did baby reflexology on my Son first, showing me how to do it, and he was so lovely and relaxed after that I managed to have a whole treatment with him asleep on my chest. It was honestly just bliss after a stressful and sleepless few weeks. The set up for baby reflexology was lovely and comfy and Gill was so gentle and tuned in to how baby was finding the treatment, moving on if he didn’t like something so much and never pushing anything. It was lovely to see which moves he so obviously enjoyed. Gill provided great diagrams to help me remember the routine and we still do this 2 months down the line. It’s a nice relaxing way to bond and I felt it did help with his tummy issues. I would highly recommend when pregnant also. Gill came to my house in the late stage but her studio is so calming and I loved going there for some deep relaxation. I felt my pelvic girdle pain much improved and even listened to the same music during my labour as it helped me feel so relaxed. Thanks Gill!”

Georgie (Google Review)

“I have suffered from sciatica for over a year and thought I’d try reflexology for the first time. Wow! Absolutely loved it. Gill is very professional. Room is calming and very relaxing. Gill has the amazing ability to ease my pain and made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. I’m pleased to say she has worked her magic on my pain - and I still continue to enjoy going for reflexology as a treat to myself. Would happily recommend Gill xx”

Lorraine (Facebook Review)

“I have had a few reflexology appointments with Gill and I have loved every minute of each. Gill is so warm and friendly and immediately puts you at ease. The setting is absolutely gorgeous. It’s so relaxing lying lying in a comfy chair under a big window. And the reflexology is divine. I really struggle to relax and switch off, but I am able to do so with ease during my appointments with Gill. It is so interesting - Gill has identified areas that needed work - all linked to current or old chronic injuries that I have. My 7 year old son has also had a session with Gill. He loved it so much that now I need to give him a foot massage every night! (Gill gave me some tips for what I could do at home). We have his next appointment booked in already! I cannot recommend Gill highly enough. She is incredible! Thank you.”

Charlie (Google Review)

“Totally recommend! Best reflexology treatment I’ve ever had.”

Claire

“Absolutely loved my reflexology session - from the amazing calming space, the wonderful reflexology itself, to the aftercare and follow up from Gill. I felt immediate, short term and long term changes in my body. I had recently had a wisdom tooth removal and there was a lot of inflammation and toxins still hanging around... one day later all the achy pains and feelings of discomfort were gone! Highly recommend!”

Elle

“Having never had reflexology I wasn't sure what to expect. I can honestly say it's the most relaxing hour of my time. Gill is so informative and talks you through the process and then you sit back and she works her magic. Couldn't recommend Hallen Reflexology more.”

Laura

“I'd highly recommend Hallen Reflexology. The clinic is a calming and relaxing space to enjoy a little selfcare that you'll feel the benefit from, from heal to toe, even though you only need to get your feet out.”

Nicola

“Had an amazing first experience of reflexology and will definitely be back! So relaxing and Gill is very friendly and professional. I would happily recommend to friends and family.”

Linsey

“I feel that I have hugely benefited from Gill’s sessions. From our first meeting Gill has made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Her knowledge and previous experience are excellent, and she takes time to explain how the reflexes relate to the body, and how this can improve various ailments. Thank you Gill for really improving how I am feeling at this time, both in body and mind.”

Philippa

“A completely relaxing and enjoyable experience from the off. The perfect escape from a hectic lifestyle to give back to both mind and body. Already looking forward to my next session with Gill.”

Alistair

“Gill has been so professional in her approach to her reflexology and I've always felt in good hands. The sequences she has used have helped with some maternity concerns, as well as current sciatica complaints. I have noticed a difference since the treatments, and I've already been recommending her to family and friends.”

Verity

“Thank you. I practically floated home - I had no idea how relaxing it would be, I've seriously been missing out all these years!”

Claire

“Such a wonderfully relaxing experience. I regularly have reflexology as I find it beneficial to my wellbeing as I navigate through my menopausal years. Gill has the prefect touch and is professional and knowledgeable.”

Jane

“The pelvic routine you did has worked miracles, my hip pain has been so much less the couple of nights since! Finally sleeping better, Thank you.”
