According to Ayurvedic tradition, the Shantala baby massage reassures and comforts the
baby, and conveys tenderness and kindness through the hands of his/her parents.
Becoming parents symbolises the connection with a new being that is filled with joy and
emotions. Together, a beautiful adventure begins.
A baby (Kapha phase) is full of emotions and is in full physical, mental and emotional
development. Supporting his/her fulfilment is essential.
Satisfying babies’ primary needs (such as the quality of their food, sleep, hygiene, love,
relationships etc.) makes them radiate with joy.
All their senses are in a period of awakening and they are particularly responsive to
touch.
The skin of babies is delicate so it is important to nourish it with your hands and your heart.
