This week, Thula Touch had the profound privilege of spending time with the incredibly dedicated caregivers at The Baby House Westville — a haven of healing for babies who have experienced abandonment, abuse, and trauma in their earliest, most vulnerable days.
Thula Touch focused on the benefit of infant massage on abandoned, abused babies that thankfully end up with the most caring baby homes in our country! Not all babies are lucky! But the ones we can help & make a difference matters! How?
* by building trust and safety - helping babies trust again when their world has felt unsafe, even without the birth parent.
* Emotional regulation for calming an overwhelmed nervous system, soothing from the inside.
*Secure Attachment - consistent nuturing Touch creates new bonds of connection- teaching babies they are held seen, and cherished 🧡
*Empowered Caregiving - caregivers learn to read babys cues, respond with confidence and connect more positively- for both their well-being.
