Rubs 4 Bubs

Auckland

I really enjoyed learning the massage techniques and both my baby and I love doing baby massage.  I also enjoyed the conversation times and Leah is the perfect facilitator!  It was a highlight of our journey so far as mum and baby.

"Even though we didn't always get to practice in class (baby needed feeding etc) I found I was able to learn and participate - we are enjoying doing the massage at home.  I enjoyed the discussion times, which made it more than just massage - really lovely.

I found the sinus massage very helpful for my baby and she now opens her arms up more which makes bathing and dressing easier.

I found leah to be very relaxed and I often had to tend to my baby's needs during the class, this was never a problem, and I was asked whether we wanted to wait or carry on so I still felt included."

“I found the course interesting, relaxed and I felt comfortable.  Since learning baby massage I have found my baby to be more relaxed at bath time and when changing his nappies and clothes.  Leah was easy to understand and provided a calm environment.
Thank you, we had a great time and I have learnt a great way to bond with my baby."

“I liked the fact I had an opportunity to practice at my own pace in such a relaxed and baby friendly environment - free to feed or for baby to sleep.  As the weeks progressed I found my baby had more eye contact and cooing during the massages.
Leah made it a safe and comfortable environement by providing ice-breakers and making us feel comfortable to meet babies needs rather than feeling obliged to focus on the massage.  She was very encouraging. "

Parakai, Auckland

“The things I liked best about the classes were the open talks, bonding time with my boy and the warm atmosphere.  Harvey looks forward to massage whenever he gets his clothes off and it helps him to sleep.  I found Leah to be very open and non judgemental and a relaxed person so you feel the same."

Helensville, Auckland

"Since learning baby massage I have found my baby to be a little more relaxed after a massage and less windy/colicky.  I liked the relaxation aspect of the class and the group discussions.  Leah helped make me feel comfortable during the classes by sharing her knowledge and own experience and she was very supportive.  I will miss our weekly classes!"

Kumeu, Auckland

"Leah is very informative, describing what we are doing and why - making sure we are doing it right.  I found Leah to be very approachable and made the class enjoyable.  On the evenings that I massage my baby she has a much better sleep"

"Since learning baby massage I found that I enjoy massaging my baby more now that I know what to do.  I found Leah to be friendly and approachable."

"I like how the course was well explained with simple moves that are easy to remember and follow.  Since doing baby massage I have noticed that my babies are more relaxed at bedtime and they enjoy their massages."

Kumeu, Auckland

"Since doing baby massage I have noticed that my baby is calmer with her bed time routine and I really enjoyed the bonding experince with her.  Leah made the class very welcoming, talked about topics that were mummy related and not just about massage."

Kumeu, Auckland

"I really liked seeing how much my baby enjoyed his massages and the bonding experience.  I found he is sleeping better and doesn't struggle to go down for his sleeps.  I enjoyed the ice-breakers and discussion topics each week.  The course was fabulous, I thoroughly enjoyed it."

Kumeu, Auckland

"I found Leah to be very organised and has a lovely personality.  I thought the time frame of one hour worked well and I liked that the lessons are in drawing format - easy to understand.  I enjoyed the group discussions where we got to share our experiences and feelings.  Totally worth the money."

Kumeu, Auckland

"I enjoyed all the aspects of the class - a great mix of teaching, discussion and reflection.  Nice and informal.  I found Leah to be approachable, light hearted and relaxed.  I have noticed that my baby sleeps longer at night and although I would have never thought of doing a class like this I loved it!

Helensville, Auckland

"This was a fantastic way for me to connect with my baby after a very traumatic birth and first couple of weeks.  This course enabled me to create a bond for the first time.
I highly recommend that this course is offered to mums with PND or who have suffered traumatic births.  It played an enourmous part in healing from our experience. "

"I liked the bonding and interaction I experinced with my baby.  Leah made me feel comfortable during the class with the open talks and discussions.  Since doing baby massage my baby seems more relaxed and engages with me when being massaged.  I loved attending the course and would highly recommend to new mothers with babies / other children."

"I enjoyed doing some nice with my baby, learning something to 'pamper' my baby with. He now makes more eye contact with me during massage.  I found the class very nice, Leah went through things slowly and had no problems re - explaining if needed."

Auckland

"I found the classes informative, fun and interesting.  I have noticed my baby's tummy is much better now and he really looks forward to his massages.  I really feel like this class has made me closer with my baby - Thank you."

Auckland

"I liked that the classes were very relaxed and there was not too much all at once.  I found with baby massage it is another way to interact with my baby and have her become more comfortable with touch.  I liked Leah's relaxed pace and she was not bothered by any babies crying."

Auckland

"Since doing baby massage I have noticed my baby is a lot calmer and manages to sleep better through the day.  I like how the classes were a relaxed atmosphere and calming.  Leah was very relaxed, easy going and easy to talk to."

South Head, Auckland

"I heard about this course through Facebook and other mums in the area.  I liked having an opportunity to learn to bond with my baby through touch,  it was also an opportunity to meet other people in the same situation.  Leah made us feel comfortable in class by allowing us to address the individual baby's needs as required and encouraged interaction within the class.  She has a relaxed approach to teaching and learning."

Helensville, Auckland

"I enjoyed the easy instruction and laid back astmosphere of the class.  I thought the ice breakers each week were a good idea and Leah encouraged us to all chat and share our experiences.   I think this was an awesome course and would recommend to anyone!"
