Nowadays, because of the accelerated life that most adults have at a professional level and because of the facilities in entertainment for children, the relationship between parents and children is lost, or ruled to a 2nd or 3rd level.

​

This proposal aims to explore their relationship with touch, encouraging this relationship that is so important for physical, mental and affective health, both at the cognitive level (thoughts, feelings, emotions, affections) and the behavioral development of both. Especially for children, this increases their levels of self-confidence, helping to build a strong and balanced personality, as well as strengthening the immune system.

​

In our training and clinical practice, we could see that many children are born with the gift of touch and a taste for massage. The acceptance and the results obtained with the children are visible and of great value. Stopping and being with yourself and your child, dedicating this time, attention and care, creates a fundamental extra-daily moment in the accelerated way in which information is processed nowadays.

​

These classes aim to explore this subject, the best way to put this knowledge into practice and consequently bring more quality of life to the family.

​

Regardless of the family level, the important thing is to encourage this touching relationship that, nowadays, ends up falling asleep, strengthening ties and strengthening the bond between parents and children.

​

This contributes to a family practice  healthy from Mother or Father to child, from Grandmother to grandchild, Aunt to nephew.

​

It is known that the  Pharmacy remedies do not always respect our organism and even if today it takes pain away, that same pill may be opening the door to other pathologies. If we know how to use the body's natural medicine, we all win.

​

This Workshop intends to explore this innate potential of children, but also to provide parents with simple massage practices that can soothe anxieties, sleep difficulties, irritation, constipation and cramps, strengthen the immune system, thus avoiding respiratory problems, allergies, among others examples, thus moving chemical drugs to the second plan, both in adults and children.
