From Our Massaging Families To You:

"Our new family bonded through these classes and we found massage to be a very valuable tool for getting to know our son. We loved it and looked forward to it every week!"
-Elizabeth, Drew & Baby Orion

"We loved our infant massage class! As brand new parents, we were not sure what to expect, but Rachel made us feel comfortable every week. Our baby seemed to be in a different mood each week, but Rachel always had something positive to say. And we always enjoyed a good laugh with the other couples. Now we use our massage techniques to interact with our baby in the morning and he really seems to like it more and more each time. The class was a wonderful bonding time for us as a family, and the support from Rachel and the other couples made a big difference during our first weeks as parents! Thank you so much!"
-Juli, Matt & Baby Ryder

"I would highly recommend this class to new moms and dads.  My husband and I really enjoyed the class and were disappointed when it ended.  When my daughter got constipated after the classes ended I knew how to make her feel better and the same thing was true when she got a cold.  It’s nice and comforting to know how to make your child feel better.  Massage is now a part of our bedtime routine.  Since massaging in the evenings I’ve found that Reagan sleeps more soundly and longer too!  I’d suggest taking the class early so you can take advantage of the colic and calming routines.  An awesome experience!"
-Stacy, Tim & Baby Reagan

"We had been looking for an infant massage class when our baby was just a few months old but never really found one. When Rachel was recommended to us we jumped on the opportunity and we're glad we did. It ended up being better to have waited a bit before taking the class because I think it is easier to massage a 5 month old than a tiny baby, especially because at 5 months we already knew a little bit more about what she liked and what 'issues' (gas) we really wanted to learn new strokes for. We can highly recommend Rachel's class. She is knowledgable on infant massage and very kind with the babies. Thanks Rachel!"
-Noelle, Michael & Baby Riley

"I am so glad I had the opportunity to take the class.  A wonderful way to spend time with my baby and other moms and babies and I'm so glad to have learned some techniques to calm, comfort and bond with Ella!!  You were a great instructor, so glad to have had the opportunity to take the class from you!  Thank you so much!"
-Jeryl & Baby Ella

"I loved spending time with other moms.  Infant massage gave me an opportunity to share the joys and challenges of motherhood while also spending quality time with my youngest child -- and learning new things too!  What more can a mother ask for?  I learned that Lyla really likes to have her face massaged when she is tired -- and so does Charlotte!!  Rachel was just like one of us.  She can relate to all the ups and downs of mommyhood -- and she's also an expert, making her even more accessible and valuable as a guide.  I really appreciated her "whatever makes you and baby happy" attitude as I have an older baby and had to use more creative massaging techniques.  Charlotte, my three year old daughter is still talking about infant massage and massaging her "babies."  I think it's great that my three year old daughter is already learning such special ways to nurture.  I'm very proud that I could set that example for her."
-Whitney, Big Sister Charlotte & Baby Lyla

"Infant massage class was fun, educational, and a wonderful bonding time with my daughter.   It made me feel good to learn something to help relax and soothe Mia.  While you learn massage for their whole body, you can do it in parts and still see results.  Mia's favorites are the back massages at bedtime and the stomach massages for gas.  Wow!  You couldn't be more relaxed and comfortable in Rachel's class!  It's amazing how we can have so many babies, each on their own "agenda", and still have an amazing, relaxed class.  I loved that the most important thing was to listen to our babies and do what makes them happy.  Rachel was a wonderful instructor and puts the focus on doing what makes your baby happy.  I loved taking the class in a group setting with other moms and sharing our adventures in mommyhood!  I highly recommend Rachel's infant massage class to other parents."  Thank you, Rachel!
-Dana & Baby Mia

“Jonathan and I truly enjoyed taking your class.  All the information you taught us was very helpful in learning about the importance of massaging your baby and the proper techniques on how to do it.  Having 5 consecutive classes was very useful, because it helped to reinforce all the techniques we were learning each week and build up to learn new ones.  Since we started taking your class, we have incorporated the baby massage as part of our night time routine and Jonathan absolutely loves it!  I just ask him “would you like a massage?” and he gives me a big smile.  I even taught my husband Mark how to do it, so he too can have a special bonding time with our baby.  Even our older son Alexander has learned a few techniques and enjoys massaging his baby brother too.  It's a whole family affair!  Thank you again!”
-Daniela & Baby Jonathan

"I was first introduced to Rachel with Ohana Wellness through Shelley's prenatal yoga class at Affirmations.  Since I had already experienced the wonderful benefits of massage in my life it made sense that infant massage would be great for my baby too so as soon as the class opened up I signed up.  Rachel is a great instructor; very patient, thorough, and dedicated to helping us get out of the class what our family needed.  Even my husband was surprised when he saw how much our daughter and the other babies in the class really enjoyed the sessions.  We couldn't finish a class before our daughter would be fast asleep and it still has the same effect on her now. I left the class feeling much more confident as a parent, better able to communicate with my baby, and much more prepared to meet her frequently changing needs.  When my infant daughter caught a cold the techniques Rachel taught us helped relieve her congestion in her head and chest.  I was so grateful when she got over her cold much faster than I anticipated.  Thank you so much Rachel for passing this age old wisdom on to us.”
-Jayda, Cameron & Baby Rachel

Money well spent! We loved the classes & loved Rachel's style of teaching, very supportive & very informative! We were impressed with how much our daughter liked her sessions, and how much you could work on. A super fun bonding experience with our child! In practice it has been a great addition to our nightly sleeptime routine."
