A bath to revisit the
Gentle Sensations
in-utero
Womb to World
This bath makes it easier for our babies to enter the world, recreating the comfort of the womb. It reminds them of sweet memories, reliving the positions and sensations experienced with their mother, during the pregnancy.
Wispering
Your baby, moving freely, will communicate with us through their body. Our grounded and attentive presence will help your baby feel safe to express themselves fully. Moments like these will be cherished forever.
Slowing Down
In the warm water, it's as if time stands still. With your eyes on your baby, we'll let them take all the time they need, moving at their own pace as they gradually unfold and open up to the world.
Release the Tensions
of a Difficult Birth
For babies who have experienced difficult births, this bath offers profound relief. With warm water enveloping their skin, it feels like they're journeying to us again, but this time, they get the precious time they missed at birth.
A moment that belongs to you. Some moments are too precious to leave to chance. The Thalasso Bain Bebe is one of them. To honor each of you with time, presence and flexibility, I welcome only a few babies each month. By booking in advance, I hold space for your baby starting from your 38th week of pregnancy. Bath sessions take place on Monday and Friday mornings, depending of when your baby arrives. The ideal window for this special moment is between 5 and 15 days after birth. It can be offered up to 30 days, depending on space. By confirming your place, we ensure that this tender moment is waiting for you and your baby—when the time is just right. Let’s offer your baby the bath they remember with their whole being.

Thalasso Bain Bébé is all about understanding why babies cry so much during their hospital baths. It doesn't make sense, right? After all, they're being placed back in water, something they're familiar with because they spent nine months in the amniotic fluid.
About 20 years ago, Sonia Krief, a maternity nurse with over 40 years of experience in baby care, got inspired by Watsu, a combination of Water and Shiatsu. She thought, "Why not adapt this soothing method for newborns?" And that's how Thalasso Bain Bébé was born. It's now seen as the perfect first bath for babies after they're born.

Healing After a Breech Birth
We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful experience we had with Louise, a professional paediatric nurse who came to our home to give our newborn daughter a Thalasso Baby Bath. The bath was a gift from our dear friends, and it turned out to be a truly healing moment for both me and my daughter, especially after her unexpected breech birth.
From the moment Louise arrived, her calm and professional demeanour put us completely at ease. She took the time to listen to our story and understand what our daughter might have experienced. Louise's approach was so thoughtful—she prepared the bathroom with dimmed lights and placed clothes from my partner and me near the bath, so our daughter could smell us and feel secure.
Louise's deep expertise, having trained in renowned maternity and paediatric environments in France, shone through. She provided us with valuable guidance on understanding our baby’s needs and emotions, making us feel more confident as parents. The bath itself was truly magical. We saw our daughter release her tensions, completely embracing the experience. It was awe-inspiring to witness how she naturally responded to the warmth of the water, even at such a young age.
The session was beyond just a bath; it was an emotional and healing moment for me as a mother. The bath recreated the comfort of the womb, helping my daughter reconnect with a sense of security and peace that she didn’t get during the birth. It felt like a rebirth of sorts, an experience that will remain close to my heart forever.
Louise also left us with a beautiful, thoughtful leaflet containing baby massage tips, baby oil, and the muslin used for the bath—simple yet meaningful reminders for us as we continue to bond with our daughter.
We can’t thank Louise enough for this extraordinary experience. It was an intimate, magical moment that truly helped us as a family, and we highly recommend her services to any new parents seeking such a precious, healing experience.

a Postnatal Experience After a Difficult Birth
Louise was an invaluable support in my first steps with my baby. I loved the Thalasso bath, which allowed my two-week-old son to release the tensions from a challenging birth. The massage, as well as the massage workshop, helped me understand my son’s cues and needs. I leave this experience feeling confident, with an even stronger bond every time I massage my baby. Thank you, Louise, for your professionalism, generosity, and availability!

Different for the Second Child
"I Did It for My First Born — and I Chose It Again for My Second Child"
A huge thank you to Louise, who gave our babies a Thalasso bath. It was a therapeutic experience for our whole family both times. Even though both births went smoothly, we could still see the difference this bath made for our babies! We can only recommend it to all future parents! It’s also a great gift idea from the village of future parents.
