Testimonials

Here's what some of our students think of us...

“I was a little nervous about the idea of online training, but the experience has been great. Being able to watch the massage stroke videos multiple times until I was totally comfortable with them has really given me great confidence in my ability to deliver great sessions.”

Sara from Manchester

“I looked at lots of online courses before deciding on Hands on Babies – but this one was my preference by far. The fact that the learning was self-paced was fantastic for me. It meant I could dip in and out of the curriculum when I had the time. Perfect for someone who is juggling home schooling and everything else that life can throw at you.”

Kay from London

“After what has been a very difficult time in my life, this training has been such a lovely experience. Not only have I learnt some great new skills that will hopefully help me get back into the job that I love, but it has also built my confidence and made me feel mentally and emotionally stronger as a person. It was just a great experience...”

Sue from Southampton
