About Babystrokes Infant /Child massage
Bio
I own Baby Strokes Infant / Child Massage and have been offering Parent Education in Infant Massage and Newborn Care for over 20 years. Why did I fall in love with Baby Massage? I did a continuing education course in Infant Massage in 2000 and it changed me. I decided I wanted to share my passion and started Babystrokes Infant Massage. I had my own son later in life and so began a change in career. I love teaching massage to expectant parents and parents with babies and older children.
