Shantala Massage

The Shantala massage for babies offers emotional benefits that are reflected in physiological effects such as cognitive and psychomotor stimulation, improved sleep, and relief from colic. TOPSPA's Indian Shantala massage promotes a deep connection between the caregiver and the child, strengthening the bonds of affection that unite them through sensory interaction.

Shantala is an ancient technique that uses massage as an act of love, but also as a form of healing, rebalancing energy through touch. This ritual gives the baby the sense of protection they felt in their mother's womb, helping to overcome the initial insecurities after birth and grow into a more confident adult.

Come learn with us how to perform the Shantala massage on your baby!

What to expect from our Shantala Massage

TOPSPA's Shantala massage is a true learning session for mothers, fathers, or daily caregivers of the baby. 

During this session, all information about the techniques, precautions during the massage, the best time of day to perform it, and the types of oils that can be used is provided. Once they gain autonomy, caregivers can massage their babies whenever they wish.

The therapist will demonstrate the movements and touches using a doll while the caregiver applies these techniques to their baby, always under the guidance of the professional. 

During the Shantala massage, the baby remains undressed to fully benefit from the touch. The room is heated, making the experience very pleasant.

At the beginning or end of the session, you can enjoy the spa facilities to enrich the experience and deepen the emotional bond.

Ana Cristina

Um dos melhores Spas que já visitei. Toda a experiência foi maravilhosa, desde a envolvência do espaço que parece transportar-nos para um Oásis, até à massagem onde a terapeuta foi sempre muito atenciosa. Não se esqueçam de aproveitar o banho turco.

Cristina Perinha

Simply divine! From the moment we enter the spa, till we left, we felt like we were on the best place to relax. I did an ultimate deep pressure with Carolina and I just regret not booking for more time. Excellent work. See you soon.
