TESTIMONIAL
 

"Thank you!!!

Exactly the approach to a pregnancy massage course I was looking for - so glad that it exists! Loved all the pieces that you both bring in from your individual experience. I think it worked really well and I can't fault anything, so I'm sorry if you were after some constructive feedback. 

Looking forward to recommending this to likeminded practitioners as well as attending any future types of workshops you create together or separately. Sign me up."
