As a Pediatrician and Mom of three and Indian immigrant, I highly support baby massage. I personally did this for all three of my children as it’s a cultural norm in India but I was also aware of the health benefits of skin to skin contact in my medical training. Elina has created a simple effective tool that can help support parents through a tried and true ancient tradition from India that provides benefit to both babies and caretakers alike.

Bonding with your baby is SO important, and the Kahlmi allows you to do that. Using massage techniques, you can engage with your baby and help them feel relaxed and comfortable. The gentle vibrations they feel are similar to what they felt in the womb, and the percussive motions may help loosen up their airways if they sound congested.

The Kahlmi helps new moms enhance their tiny baby's development through gentle and soothing stimulation. Too many baby products are about convenience and pointless entertainment, but the Kahlmi helps you spend precious time with your baby in a purposeful way to nurture their body and your bond. We recommend it to all our NOEL Method moms and anyone looking for the perfect baby gift!!

Great therapy tool and baby approved! As a pediatric and neonatal touch and massage certified therapist, I use the Kahlmi baby massager as a tool to enhance a baby's massage experience in our mommy & baby massage classes and in therapy sessions. It is gentle and easy to use for therapist and parent. The Kahlmi wand helps parents carryover the massage techniques with relaxing their baby at home! There are so many benefits of massage for babies.

Takes Baby Massage to New Levels. As a pediatric professional with 30 years of experience, I am always looking for ways to help educate and empower parents with techniques and tools to improve the health of their children. I have witnessed time and time again how baby massage can have a powerful impact on the growth and development of babies. The Kahlmi massage wand integrated into baby massage is an innovative winning combo. It offers the scientific benefits of low-level vibration therapy and puts it into the hands of a parent which takes the baby massage program to the next level.

The Kahlmi has been an indispensable tool when working with infants and babies. Since I work with babies who are tense, tight and overstressed, I have found using the KAHLMI an innovative way to enhance my sessions. It brings a sense of calm to the child's nervous system, which allows the muscles to also relax, making it easier for me to connect with the baby and ultimately assist them to move better.

I am very excited about the introduction of Kahlmi and the possibilities it may provide for positive experiences for both parents and newborns. Studies suggest that infant massage increases improvement in the quality of mother-child interactions. In addition, instruction in infant massage has been found to decrease stress in fathers. Research suggests other health benefits may include a reduction in infant stress hormones which can help your baby relax and sleep, and aid in the reduction of crying.

Baby massage is a beautiful ancient practice of several cultures around the world. The superb quality of the Kahlmi baby massager grants you the opportunity to share this practice with your most precious loved one(s). Spending time with the Kahlmi baby massager supports soothing your baby's nervous system, relieving constipation and other digestive concerns, enhancing bonding time, improves sleep, and increases Oxytocin (our love hormone!).

I am excited to scream loud and proud about what a soothing success the Kahlmi has been for me as a mom and a pediatric physical therapist. As an early childhood clinician - I appreciate the boost that The Kahlmi has given many of my families to confidently incorporate massage on their own while at home between visits or traveling. As a mama, I’m glad my hands get a rest from massaging my own active and growing children. Highly, highly recommend this gem of a product.

The Kahlmi was the baby product I didn't know I needed until I tried it. As a pediatric physical therapist, I work with children who have various conditions, delays and body tension. The Kahlmi serves as a therapeutic agent to ease anxiety about therapy, set the tone for a successful session and calm teething or fussy babies. Based on the attachment heads used, I can vary the therapeutic effect to either stimulate a sleeping baby or soothe a crying baby. My own children love it too and often ask for a massage with the Kahlmi before bedtime.
