Thank you SO VERY much for great experience of baby massage, I was able to start my first session not long ago with mother who is suffering with PND. We are all taking small steps and are starting to enjoy the whole experience. Many thanks again for such a brilliant course. I’m excited to put it all to practice in my new BabyNatal massage classes.
