Client Testimonial
What a difference your course made! I used a lot of the moves…every single night from when my child was two months to about eight months old. It was a comforting and settling routine for both of us, and also for my partner who learned [the techniques] from me. My son would smile when I started rubbing my hands together and asked if he wanted a massage. It usually calmed him down if he was upset. The facial massage was perfect to end with, almost hypnotizing him in a way!
