"Olga's wonderfully personal teaching style made this a very personal and deeply touching experience." - Nicole
"Infant massage is such an important part of the growing and bonding process that I can't wait to immediately get started teaching families of the premature infants I care for. It is going to be such a positive outcome not only for the infants, but also for the mothers who have little control over what they can do for their infant." - Connie
“The course is a must-have for any professional working with infants or working with parents of infants . . . everyone should know this information.” - Head of an Early Intervention Agency
“I loved meeting the parents and babies. Watching them perform infant massage was an absolutely beautiful experience.” - Student
