Your baby is here, congratulations! Maybe his birth was easy, maybe it was complicated. Either way, your little one was squeezed and pushed into a new world with air, light, loud sounds, and so much space around him. She is experiencing cold and hunger for the 1st time. So many new sensations experienced in such a brutal way. Does he miss floating in hot water, hearing the shushing sound of his cord and mommy’s heart beat? Would he benefit from experiencing it all over again? We believe so. The Newborn Baby Ceremonial Therapeutic Bath recreates the cozy environment that was his in utero life , give him a chance to go back and deeply relax, only to be born again but this time in a gentle, peaceful way.
The Newborn Therapeutic Bath is very intense and beautiful. It is a moment in time filled with love. Time stops. Seeing these babies relax and be deeply serene is humbling, so beautiful, so moving.
Watch August's therapeutic bath!
Newborn Therapeutic Bath done by Sonia Krief, founder of the practice.
She has been a baby nurse in French hospitals since 1978. She was responsible to give babies their very first bath. For years she believed that it was normal for babies to cry during their baths and that the only purpose of the bath was hygiene. Then in 2000, while taking a shower she realized that the bath could be used to release tension, and to sooth. So just like that she rethought everything and changed the way she gave baths to babies.
Her technique grew throughout the years as babies taught her important lessons: Newborns have emotions, they must be respected, if you listen to them, they will tell you something – the story of their birth maybe?
Her therapeutic newborn baby bath got famous through a you tube video. Psychologists, pediatricians, and researchers reached out to her to understand more about her technique and the magic of her bath. With them, her experience and the teachings of famous OBGYN Michel Odent and Psychologist Federick Leboyer, she realized that her bath is soothing, relaxing, healing, freeing of tensions and big emotions. Could her therapeutic baby bath be the link between in-utero life and the outside world?
She is a magician; a true baby whisperer and I am so lucky that she taught me her technique.

I will come to your house. Farmhouse sinks are the best, but the bath can be done in any bathtub.
We can do a therapeutic bath at any time of the day, but after a feeding is best.
