Comments from UK Centre Staff / Managers

‘I would like to say that the pieces of massage and the techniques you taught me are amazing. It is so lovely to be able to work mini miracles on these babies’………

‘I have been so engrossed in doing the sessions it has been wonderful to see your wonderful programme in practice and the profound affects it has on the children and their parents’……..   

Since having massages regularly they have really helped him relax and he sleeps better than he ever has. His body spasms are not so painful and we are so very pleased that something finally has helped him sleep for longer. This alone has made me realise just how amazing your massage techniques are as I have seen it for myself over these last few weeks. I can't thank you enough………

‘I would like to addjust how much I enjoy teaching the Developmental Baby Massage program. I have witnessed such positive results, not only with the babies and development but also with the parents and their responses. It really makes a difference in terms of attachment, parenting and building confidence’………

 ‘My working practice within the NHSis using The Solihull Approach; I strongly believe that Developmental Baby Massage complements this approach’

‘Peter Walker is well known in the baby massage field. It was therefore to him that we turned when setting up training days during which health visitors could learn more about the value and technique of baby massage. These days have been a huge success and resulted in baby massage being offered free to parents in health centres and clinics throughout the UK’
