Client Testimonials
I absolutely love these classes, there is so much for the little ones to do and explore and every session is fun and different, focussing on new areas of development and new experiences. Siobhan is also very warm, bubbly and welcoming and makes sure every mom is comfortable and manages to get a cuppa especially if their hands are full! each session is also perfectly planned, we look forward to them every week.
- M Cave (development class parent)
My little boy and I have just finished our first block of baby massage, he absolutely loved every second of it. Siobhan made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived for our first class. It’s also not massage you’re taught, it’s magic! My unsettled little boy could sleep through anything by the end of every class.
- D Welsh (Massage parent)
Siobhan is just the best! We've been coming to her class for 4 months now and my wee boy has learned to sit, roll, crawl and now stand in that period of time, thanks to all the activities that she prepares to stimulate his curiosity. I will be doing a last block before going back to work but we will definitely miss her sessions !! Thank you for everything and for giving us mummies the opportunity to have a hot cuppa at least once a week!
- L Lynh (development parent)
I’ve just finished a massage block with my little boy and I’ve now booked onto the development classes. I look forward to the classes each week and Robbie is always so relaxed after his massages. Siobhan is very welcoming and friendly and I felt so comfortable each week. It’s lovely that Siobhan makes sure you’ve had a tea and biscuit too. Very much looking forward to the development classes.
