About your teacherÂ
Ike Dielesen is mother of 3 and found out herself how it helped her little ones and her to massage them. To have a deeper connection with her children and to (mostly) listen to her children on another level. They still like to be massaged. Â She also teaches prenatal yoga and likes to connect with other parents and provide them with tools to connect with themselves and their little ones. The more peaceful you can be, the more peaceful your child is as well.
