I saw Adam, Paula and babies on the weekend and heard all about their massage session with you and I wanted to let you know how delighted I am that it went so well and specifically your advice which was beneficial to little Luna. Definatly exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much Lynn. From a happy Grandma who gifted a session to her son, daughter-in-law and their twin daughters
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! She started by listening to my birth story and our experience looking after Daisy so far which really helped to tailor the session to our specific needs. Daisy had been suffering from tummy problems including wind and reflux, and Lynn demonstrated some simple massage techniques on her legs and tummy which Daisy responded really well to. Lynn was also able to show us a variety of different holds which instantly calmed Daisy down. 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 so valuable. 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 a daily route for myself and Daisy and it is wonderful to bond together and watch her enjoy the strokes. I would highly recommend a home visit by Lynn in the first few weeks. Since the session I have signed up to start the New Baby & Me course where I’m looking forward to learning more. Mary & Daisy
We found our session with Lynn extremely useful as we were able to practice with our own baby in our own home environment which is so helpful in the early weeks when you can’t quite face public transport yet and when you are still nesting. Lynn was able to give advice on different aspects of babycare, not just the massage and Matthew found going through a sequence of holds especially useful. Lynn gently introduced the massage and it was insightful to see how to read your baby and go at their pace. Lynn also instructed me on using breathing and relaxation techniques to help post natal recovery and make the most of any short bursts of time whilst baby is sleeping. Lynn’s experience shines through and her gentle and caring manner gave us the reassurance to build on our confidence and carry on following our instincts as a new family. All in all we would highly recommend this workshop, this would make a lovely present for parents of newborns and would most likely be more useful than most other newborn baby gifts! – Ratna & Matthew
We would highly recommend Lynn’s one-to-one baby massage lessons, which have enabled us to learn this invaluable skill with our newborn baby in the familiar surroundings of our home, without a disruptive journey at this early stage, allowing her to benefit from baby massage as soon as possible after a challenging birth. The one-to-one format allows the session to be tailored to the baby and family’s individual needs and gives scope for specific issues to be addressed in depth if necessary. Our daughter loved her massage and we really enjoyed learning this lovely skill that we can share with her as a family. Lynn’s clear, gentle instruction and wealth of knowledge about all aspects of baby care provided a much needed confidence boost for us as parents and a tool that we can now use daily to benefit our baby. – Amy & Andrew
