Lynn came to our home when our little girl Daisy was 3 weeks old – the perfect solution in the early weeks when getting out of the house is near impossible!”
Lynn started by listening to my birth story and our experience of looking after Daisy so far, this really helped to tailor the session to our specific needs. Daisy had been suffering from tummy problems including wind and reflux, Lynn demonstrated some simple massage techniques on her legs and tummy which Daisy responded really well to. Then she was also able to show us a variety of different holds which instantly calmed Daisy.
Perhaps the most valuable part was Lynn’s general advice around relaxation and breathing during feeds and night time – her support and encouragement at this early stage was invaluable. She even showed me how to make a few small adjustments to our sling which benefited Daisy and helped to protect my back and neck muscles. Since Lynn’s visit, baby massage has become part of our daily routine, it is wonderful way to feel more bonded.
I would highly recommend a home visit by Lynn in the early weeks after your birth.” – Mary & Daisy

Here’s what Mothers say:
Lynn, I just wanted to say thank you again for the massage classes. Each of our girls has been lucky enough to come to your classes and it honestly has been the single most rewarding baby activity/class we have done. Your gentle, thoughtful approach has a profound effect on parents and babies alike! As I mentioned, we still use massage with the older girls on a regular basis and it is lovely to maintain that physical closeness and focus with them. Thank you for teaching us all we know and setting us up with such a brilliant set of skills to bond with our children. – Hannah & Pete
