From Kari’s students:
“Kari is lovely – so gentle and warm, supportive, full of information and tips, and clearly an expert. In addition to the obvious (massage setup and strokes), I really appreciated learning about listening to baby’s cues/cries and seeking consent/absence of “no.”
“Kari speaks not just of massage techniques but also on the emotional aspect of infant massage, i.e., how to make baby feel safe, seen and calm.”
“Kari’s Infant Massage class was superb and I will recommend it to everyone I know with babies or expecting. Kari not only provided massage lessons, she also covered understanding baby’s cues regarding when to give a massage, how to be in the right space as the caregiver, how to adapt as our baby gets older, and even how to care for ourselves.”
“A year after taking Kari’s workshop, we still massage our little one and sing the song we learned in class.”
“We learned so much from Kari and think fondly of the ways she showed us not only to assist with digestion and relaxation but to bond with our baby.”
