Windsor Mums July 2006 -
'Oscar and I really enjoyed the mind body and sole massage classes. They were an excellent opportunity to bond and get to know each other.'

'I can't think of any way to improve the course, just for it to carry on!'

'Edie and I have really enjoyed baby massage and Edie seems to sleep better, feed better and generally be a happier baby now that I massage her every day. It's also been lovely for me to meet other people and their babies. Thank you'

'I would recommend Louise's massage class to any parent with a baby - for bonding, relaxation , fun and confidence in holding your baby.'

'Fantastic course for mothers and baby. Relaxes and fun for baby. Louise is a great teacher.'

'Loved coming to class each week and meeting people with same aged babies. Thank you!'

'If you want your baby to sleep, try baby massage!'

'Joseph loves massage. We do it every night as part of his bedtime routine. You can just see him relaxing. It would be great to have a course near High Wycombe/Marlow'

Pictures on handouts are good - more of them please! Very good for colic relief. A great opportunity to learn how to bond with your baby in a relaxed but informative class'

'Louise's baby massage class helps to get closer to your baby and develop real special time together - its friendly and relaxing - top marks!'

Empowerment.
A lady walked into the class hunched over carrying her rocker with baby crying. She mentioned that they had both experienced a tough, interfered birth and her baby had been thoroughly upset since birth.
Half way through class her baby fell asleep and slept (reportedly) for 4 1/2 hours after class. This lady left the class with her head held high and straight back, she had enabled her son to relax into sleep.

Arh, sleep.
Most babies that are difficult to get to sleep in the day or night benefit by simply flaking out after massage!

Burping and winding
My classes are often tuneful ones! Lots of trumpets and drums playing! mostly from babies bottoms and burps! The techniques I show for efficient burping really work and help your baby's physical development too. It has a really successful result.

Constipation
Techniques with the legs and tummy used alongside 'tummy time' during the day makes a huge difference to babies who suffer with constipation. Often this occurs when they are weaning, but techniques can be used at any time to relieve the painful symptoms of a baby straining to pass a bowel movement.

Relaxation
After my class a mum reported that her son fell asleep in the car and was so relaxed his whole body flopped forward in his seat :0) She said he'd never been so relaxed and other baby massage classes didn't have that effect on him.

Sitting up at 4 months!
Two of my mums who regularly attend my drop in classes in Burnham have said that their 4 months old sons are starting to sit unaided. In my classes I teach a sitting techniques suitable for babies aged 3 months plus which will enable their development of sitting and encourage good posture when doing so. Well done boys!
