Would you like to communicate with your baby and develop a special bond?
“I now appreciate the deep and meaningful purpose, the loving interaction, practical reasons of baby massage, how to listen to my baby to learn her needs.” – Olivia
“It has helped us bond so much and is really good for those times when he wouldn’t settle due to tummy pains. I’m just about to have my second baby and can’t wait to do baby massage with him too!" – Amanda
“It is a great investment in the relationship with the baby as it goes a long, long way.” – Olivia
What do you do when your baby is crying and so uncomfortable and you have tried everything you can think of?
Baby massage has been such an invaluable tool in becoming a mother.
“My first child had a traumatic birth. He was very unsettled in his early weeks, constantly screaming and regularly bringing up his milk. He was diagnosed by my GP as having reflux – days were difficult, nights were way worse. I knew nothing about baby massage but decided to give it a try as I was nearing my wits end.
I had a private class with Marilyn and I noticed an almost immediate change in his behaviour. As I performed basic techniques he squirmed less and his breathing became less frantic and laboured. Following his massage he became more happy, relaxed and calm. The tummy strokes helped him bring up his wind and eased tummy pains. Not only did calm him but it also calmed me and is something we both look still look forward to.
My second son started to show the signs of silent reflux when he was a few weeks old. I had already begun massaging him regularly and stepped up the massages when I noticed these symptoms. He really responds to his massage and is a calm and happy baby. I think because I started massage from day one and knew what to do with regards his reflux he never got to the same level of stress as my first baby. Being confident and calm, knowing that my techniques would help definitely rubbed off on him. My local doctor even asked me what I was doing as it had such a positive effect on him.
Baby massage has been such an invaluable tool in becoming a mother. It has not only helped me bond with my boys but helped their development and improve their symptoms. I now recommend it to any new mother I meet especially to mothers of difficult or sick babies.

“I hadn’t realized how many benefits there were”
“I hadn’t realized how many benefits there were aside from bonding and relaxation, and as he has digestion issues this is so useful for us…” – Lauren and baby Jacob
What if your child has been diagnosed with special needs?
I felt like I was contributing to her development in a big way.
“I found baby massage was a special time for us. It was something we both enjoyed especially as my daughter had to have so many treatments she didn’t like. I felt like I was contributing to her development in a big way. She seemed so aware during massage and we connected with eye contact and touch. We both loved it!- Lynn
Does Dad sometimes feel left out of this new adventure of parenthood?
Great for Dads. Definitely do it!
He is enjoying the massage and the connection it creates with us. It’s good for the baby and creates a bonding activity with parents. Great for Dads. Definitely do it!
- D McLure

I feel more confident in handling my baby and helping him relax
“After my class with Marilyn I feel more confident in handling my baby and helping him relax. Marilyn is personable, supportive, gives great advice and is very approachable. Best investment!” – A Nader
If you are thinking of doing baby massage go with a class from Marilyn.
“If baby massage is performed incorrectly it will do more harm than good. It is a lot easier to learn the strokes when shown rather than from descriptions in magazines or videos so that you can understand them better. Its so important to learn the strokes correctly.”-A Edmondson
“He is enjoying the massage and the connection it creates with us.It’s good for the baby and creates a bonding activity with parents. Great for Dads. Definitely do it!” – D McLure
“Marilyn’s program is beyond excellent….
We had the privilege of having Marilyn help with our new granddaughter, Tessa Jean Breithaupt. Not only were the massage techniques marvelous for a new and growing baby, but they were so helpful for the parents as well. They enjoyed all the teaching and it just brought everyone down
………crying baby…….happy and contented baby;
…….anxious parents………happy and relaxed parents!
Our kids/grandchildren are still using it and enjoying every minute! Thanks so much, Marilyn!!!"
- Leslie Breithaupt
“Marilyn is an angel…
Knowing how to give my daughter massages from such an early age has been such a treat for both of us, as well as providing a special time to bond. Thank you so much!!!" -Jessica & Ellie
I hadn’t realized how many benefits there were
“I had this course bought for me as a gift after my son was born, by the time I got around to doing it he was nearly three months old and I only wish I’d done it sooner! Marilyn came to my apartment and we had a great morning, my son was luckily awake (if not we use a doll) and he loved the techniques I was shown. I hadn’t realized how many benefits there were aside from bonding and relaxation, and as he has digestion issues this is so useful to us now but if I had done it before he was born I could’ve used the massage from birth which would,ve been a Godsend! I’ll be teaching my husband the moves this weekend so that he can share in this wonderful experience!”
-Lauren & Jacob

I feel her sleep is better now. I also found it was a good communication tool too. Thank you very much!"
-Shino & Annie
