I spent 4 days training with Justina for baby massage and yoga and loved every minute. Packed with knowledge, I learnt so much. Would 100% recommend. Justina was very friendly and provided so much information, handouts and resources.

Have had a week completing Baby Massage and Baby Yoga. It really was a great experience, Our trainer was patient, encouraging and built my confidence so much. I hadn’t realised what a positive impact it will have on the families we work with. Really looking forward to put what we’ve learnt into practice.
