Infant wellness treatments
Gentle, Holistic Care for Your Little One’s Health and Comfort
As a mother, nothing feels more important than your baby’s wellbeing. But the early months can bring a host of worries – from colic and eczema to constipation, reflux, and sleep issues. If your little one is unsettled, uncomfortable, or struggling with persistent symptoms, my Infant Wellness Treatments offer gentle, holistic support to help them feel calm, balanced, and at ease.
These treatments work to address the root causes of common infant concerns, using kinesiology, acupressure, lymphatic techniques, and gentle energy balancing to support your baby’s natural healing processes.
What Can Infant Wellness Treatments Help With?
Mums often turn to me when they feel they’ve tried everything but their baby is still uncomfortable or unsettled. My treatments can help ease:
• Colic and excessive crying
• Digestive issues – reflux, constipation, wind
• Eczema, rashes, and other skin conditions
• Sleep disturbances and difficulty settling
• Frequent colds or weakened immune system
• Teething discomfort
• Tension from birth trauma or a difficult delivery
Even small imbalances can cause discomfort for your little one, but by gently rebalancing their body, we can ease these symptoms and promote a sense of calm and wellbeing.
A Holistic Approach to Infant Health
Rather than simply treating the symptoms, I work to uncover what may be causing your child’s discomfort – whether that’s digestive imbalances, food sensitivities, emotional stress from birth, or energetic blockages.
Using muscle testing (the foundation of kinesiology), I can identify areas of weakness in your little one’s system and gently correct them. This non-invasive technique is completely safe for babies and helps to support their developing immune, digestive, and nervous systems.
For little ones experiencing skin issues like eczema, I often include nutritional recommendations to help address any internal imbalances contributing to inflammation or irritation.
Common Worries Mums Have – and How I Can Help
Many mums I work with come to me feeling overwhelmed or helpless when their baby is in discomfort. Perhaps you’re experiencing:
• Sleepless nights due to colic or reflux
• Frustration that nothing seems to ease their skin rashes
• Worry over persistent constipation
• Concern that their immune system seems low, with frequent colds
I completely understand how exhausting and emotional this can be. As both a postnatal doula and holistic practitioner, I’m here to not only help your baby feel better but to offer reassurance and support to you as well.
Why Holistic Treatments for Infants?
Many common infant issues, such as colic, eczema, or reflux, are treated with medications or creams – which may relieve symptoms but don’t always address the root cause. Holistic treatments work with your baby’s whole system – addressing physical, emotional, and energetic imbalances to support long-term health and comfort.
This approach strengthens their natural resilience, improves digestion, boosts immunity, and encourages restful sleep – essential for their development and wellbeing.
Supporting Mothers Alongside Babies
I often combine postnatal recovery treatments for mums with infant wellness sessions, as the wellbeing of mother and baby are deeply connected. If you’re feeling run-down, emotionally depleted, or physically tense, treating both you and your baby together can lead to deeper, more lasting results for you both.

If your baby is struggling with discomfort, or if you simply want to give them the best possible start in life with holistic care, I would love to help.
Indie:
“We struggled persistently with our 2 year old’s constipation. We were sent from pillar to post through the traditional medicine route and would ultimately end up begrudgingly “having” to use laxatives on and off which we were really uncomfortable with.
Seeing the pain our baby was in was excruciating, we felt like we’d tried everything. Then Laura came along. I couldn’t be more grateful for her incredible work. She entwines physical, mental and emotional health in such a brilliant way that she managed to help Indie almost instantaneously with her recommendations.
We are no longer on laxatives, Indie’s digestive system and diet has been completely transformed. I’m recommending her to every mum I know. Thank you SO much Laura.”

At our 45-minute appointment, we take a unique approach to treating your child. Understanding the delicate nature of your little one, we utilise you, the mum, as the surrogate. Through muscle testing on you, rather than directly on the baby, we ensure a gentle and stress-free experience.
Here's how it works:
Bring Along Your Items: You're invited to bring any food items you'd like us to test for sensitivities. We'll place these in a small, secure plastic pot on your baby.
Muscle Testing Magic: With you holding your baby, we perform muscle testing on you to observe the strength or weakening of the muscle. A weakening indicates a potential sensitivity to the tested food item. As part of our routine, we always check for wheat, cow’s dairy, and sugar.
Breastfeeding Considerations: For breastfeeding mums, we extend our care to you too. We'll check items on mum and explore the possibility of a digestive supplement to support your well-being.
Formula Feeding Focus: If your baby is formula-fed, we meticulously test both the formula and alternative options like goat’s milk formula.
Holistic Skin Care: Addressing skin issues, we assess if there's a suitable oil or supplement that could provide nourishment and relief.
Probiotic Check: We don't forget the importance of gut health! We include a thorough examination of probiotics to ensure your baby's digestive system is well-supported.
Calming Touch: Our session concludes with some gentle lymphatic massage.
In addition to my testing services, I offer an innovative approach to food intolerance desensitisation. This process involves working with the nervous system to gently desensitise the body to food sensitivities.
Food Sensitivity vs. Allergy Clarification:
It's important to note that our focus is on food sensitivity testing, not allergy testing. If you wish to explore allergy testing, we recommend reaching out to your GP or health visitor for specialised guidance.

A Calming, Nurturing Experience for Baby and Mum
\\\
These sessions are designed to be as calm, gentle, and nurturing as possible. I treat your baby in a warm, soothing environment – often while they are lying in your arms or snuggled close to you.
I understand that babies can be unpredictable – we may need to pause for feeds, nappy changes, or cuddles, and that’s completely okay. The goal is to create a stress-free, nurturing experience for both you and your little one
