Baby Spa New Zealand Auckland is a baby hydrotherapy and infant massage centre at 60 Princes Street in Onehunga. It takes babies from two days old to eight months, and the business says hydrotherapy for infants is new to New Zealand. Each session lasts up to 45 minutes and includes weighing the baby, up to 30 minutes of hydrotherapy in pools or pods, and a massage with cold-pressed grapeseed oil, with calming music. Parents can feed and change their baby during the session and are taught massage techniques. The room is kept to a small number of people.
The centre is open Wednesday to Sunday from 9.30am to 4pm, and it is closed on Monday and Tuesday. Gift vouchers are available. Sessions ask that the baby is fed and rested beforehand, and that families arrive 15 minutes early. Reviewers say the staff are friendly and supportive, and that their babies enjoyed the water and the massage. One parent says their baby became anxious after a few sessions and stopped attending until the baby felt ready, and another says the staff are midwives.
