The Essentials #14: Essential Chiropractic Recommends Baby Massage with Puffin Nesting

The Power of Touch: Meet Inês from Puffin Nesting

Those first months with a baby are full of new experiences, discoveries, and adjustments. Amid the feeding, changing, and sleepless nights, it's easy to forget that some of the most meaningful moments can be the simplest ones: slowing down, making eye contact, and connecting through touch.

Meet Inês Ribeiro, founder of Puffin Nesting, a baby massage instructor in The Hague who helps families create calm, meaningful moments of connection with their little ones.

Through her baby massage courses, Inês teaches parents gentle techniques they can use at home to help their babies relax and feel secure. Baby massage can support bonding, encourage relaxation, help parents recognise their baby's cues, and may ease common discomforts such as tummy troubles. It also offers something valuable for parents: dedicated time to slow down, build confidence, and get to know their baby in a different way.

Puffin Nesting offers both group courses, where parents can connect and share experiences with others, and private courses in the comfort of your own home. Each option gives you the opportunity to learn at your own pace and develop a skill you can continue using as your baby grows.

At Essential Chiropractic, we believe that connection and wellbeing begin with understanding your body and responding to its needs. Baby massage is a lovely way for parents to bring that same awareness and care into their relationship with their little ones.
