A gentle, experience bath using warm water to recreate the sensations of the womb. Baby is swaddled and held closely, guided through movements that mirror what they knew before birth: sometimes baby will even spontaneously repeat the movements they made during their own birth, as if retracing that journey. It's a physically and emotionally soothing way to ease the transition into life outside.

The bath takes place in the comfort of your own home. I bring everything needed, so you don't have to prepare anything.

We start by talking together, so I can learn about your birth story and your baby's history; this helps me understand what your baby may need to release or feel again. Once we're ready, we settle your baby in so they can, in their own way, "tell us their side of the story" through the bath itself.

The full session lasts around an hour, though the bath itself varies a lot from baby to baby, some babies settle in just 5 minutes, others take closer to 30. There's no fixed script :every baby leads their own experience, and we simply follow.

Many parents notice their baby visibly relax and release tension during the bath. Some describe it as helping baby "process" the birth experience. That said, I am not a medical or psychological practice. This bath is not a medical treatment, and it doesn't replace pediatric or psychological care. It's meant to complement the emotional and sensory side of a newborn's transition.

Ideally as soon as possible most newborn reflexes from the womb naturally start fading around 6 weeks, so the earlier the bath happens, the more fully baby can experience and benefit from those familiar sensations. It can be done later for premature babies, once they're stable and ready.

And yes it's completely safe to do the bath with the umbilical cord stump still attached.

This isn't a bath just anyone can offer the training is only open to qualified birth/newborn professionals. I've been an pediatric nurse assistant in France since 2013, including time on Labor & Delivery, which gave me the clinical foundation to work safely with newborns. I'm trained and certified as an official practitioner of the Bain d'Accueil du Nouveau-né® by IFP in Lyon, France.

Yes, it's meant to be a shared, intimate moment. Parents are invited to be close by, sometimes to participate.

Yes. Baby spent nine months with their ears surrounded by amniotic fluid in the womb, so being in water is a familiar, comfortable sensation rather than something new or risky. The bath uses clean, appropriately warmed water, which is the key factor for safety using clean water minimizes any exposure to bacteria that could otherwise cause irritation.
