Message from Teacher Tina

Touching a baby is the first interaction between parent and child. Through baby massage, mothers can understand what their baby is trying to say and can communicate with their babies, who cannot yet speak.

Baby massage helps babies grow and develop physically and mentally. It is also said to relieve constipation, deepen breathing, and reduce nighttime crying. Imagine yourself as a baby massage instructor, helping many mothers and babies. As you grow, you will become not just a technical instructor, but also an educator who cares for babies and their families.
