“The baby therapeutic thalassotherapy bath in Grenoble is a magical moment for baby.”

What is a baby thalassotherapy bath?

This bath was created by Sonia Rochel-Krief, a childcare assistant with over 40 years of experience in maternity wards. It is not a traditional bath, but a true therapeutic moment that allows your baby to relive the sensations experienced in the womb.

The baby thalassotherapy bath is a genuine treatment designed to support a gentle transition between intrauterine life and the outside world your baby is just beginning to discover. It is a magical moment filled with tenderness, softness, and comfort—one I’m fortunate to capture for you. For many babies, it can feel like a rebirth.

5 benefits of the baby thalassotherapy bath

❁ Improved sleep and calming of the nervous system
❁ Release of certain tensions and emotions linked to pregnancy and birth
❁ Deep relaxation and letting go
❁ Strengthening of the mother–baby attachment bond
❁ Relief from digestive discomfort

This bath can also be liberating and restorative for you, as a mother—especially if childbirth was difficult or did not go as you had imagined.

Who performs the bath?

The bath is performed by Noémie, a perinatal support practitioner—and much more. She is also a pediatric nurse who worked for two years in a Paris pediatric hospital in neonatal intensive care and neonatal medicine. Noémie is gentle and radiant, guiding you through this moment with kindness and care.

How does a photo session during a baby thalassotherapy bath work?

Photos are taken with complete discretion. Noémie carries out the bath while I document the moment. There are no poses—your baby simply receives the bath naturally, and I capture images in an authentic, documentary way. The goal is for your photos to truly reflect the experience.

Working alongside her is a true joy, allowing you to fully live the moment without worrying about your phone or trying to capture images yourself. Let go, be present with your little one—I’ll take care of the rest.

A parent’s testimonial

“Thank you to Noémie for this thalassotherapy bath—even more magical than we hoped for. With unmatched gentleness, understanding, and care, she reassured our 15-day-old baby boy and us as parents. It was an emotional moment that will stay with us forever. We chose the photo option with Studio Semit, and what a wonderful decision. Precious memories captured both in our hearts and on paper. If we had to do it again, we wouldn’t hesitate for a second. Thank you a thousand times for this tenderness and this beautiful moment. See you very soon!”
