Baby massage in Guédiawaye takes place in a traditional treatment room, with gentle organic oils, movements adapted to the child’s age and two durations to choose from: 30 minutes or 1 hour. It is for newborns and older children alike.

A massage adapted to every age

The session begins with a conversation: the practitioner seeks to understand the child’s needs before laying a hand on them. The massage is then given with gentle organic oils, and with extremely soft movements for newborns.

The massage is presented as a moment of relaxation and bonding between parent and child. Its effects vary from one child to another and do not replace medical advice: if you have any doubt about your child’s health, talk to a paediatrician first. For older children, the massage relaxes the muscles and offers a quiet time.

Duration, what is included, what to plan for

Two options, priced per person: 30 minutes or 1 hour, depending on the child’s age and comfort. A very young baby will cope better with the short version; an older child will enjoy the full hour more.

The service includes a juice or tea, access to a prayer room, a shower and the organic products used during the treatments. Additional wellness extras remain optional, on top of the price. Simply bring comfortable clothing for the child.

If you are a mother in Dakar, it is a break of a few minutes to share with your baby, without crossing the city; for a family passing through or a visiting parent, it is a gentle moment, available from birth, away from the excursion programmes.

Guédiawaye, the other Dakar

The treatment room is in Guédiawaye, a suburban town on the ocean, dense and young, which few visitors think of crossing.

Extending the day as a family

With children, you can carry on with a day trip: Gorée Island for the boat crossing, the Pink Lake for a big landscape, or Ngor Island for an easy beach. Other family days and children’s outings are available, and a massage for the parents completes the visit.
