We began the massage course with Trish when Kayla was 2 weeks old and Kayla loved
it - as did we. Trish made us
feel like good parents and gave us confidence not
only in the massaging but in trusting our instincts when it came to Kayla's needs.
During the first three months of Kayla's life we went through many challenges as
I'm sure most new parents do and we tried every "trick" for help - the internet,
baby whisperer (screamer!) books, baby sound dvds (I would spend hours burping Kayla
because she kept saying "Eh" and then she would say "Neh" so I would feed her again
and so it went on! Mike and I would look at each other offering suggestions as to
which of the 5 words she might
have said instead of looking at her and listening to the tone of her cry. Oh, I
just shake my head in disbelief now!), etc, etc. Now, 5 months on, the only activity
that has survived the turbulence is the massage. Through massage we learnt to understand Kayla's moods and needs more easily and felt more empowered when she was experiencing
discomfort with wind pains - the tummy massage is particularly effective. At the beginning we were only able to massage Kayla for a few minutes at a time and we must admit that at times it
seemed hardly worthwhile but as she has developed it has now become an enjoyable
ritual for all of us and we can see from her smiles that is has been worthwhile.
Recently Kayla had her 4 month injections and her whole wellbeing suffered. During
the weeks following her injections the massage would calm her down and instantly assisted in the relief of her constipation.
We know the massage is benefiting Kayla's development but we have found that the
closeness and empowerment it has given to us is even more fantastic for our fragile
spirits during this journey. Thank you for that Trish.
Take care and we'll see you again soon
....Love Mike & Wendy

Hi Trish, Thank you so much for giving us the knowledge, guidance and encouragement to learn the infant massage technique. Nathan and I love our massage time together and I know it will hugely benefit us both for the rest of our lives. Thanks again. ....Nathan and Sonia.
From the moment our baby girl was born I could tell she responded well to touch.
After meeting Trish, I knew that baby massage was for us. It felt like we
had known Trish for years and she explained and demonstrated all the movements so
that they were easy to follow. The massage is working extremely well for us
and I would highly recommend it to all new Mums. You also gain a new friend,
Trish, out of the whole exercise
