Here's what people
are saying about Gentle Hands: A Step-By-Step Guide To Giving Healthy Massage
To Children by Susan Harley:
"A
child's early years are crucial to their well being as adults. A positive,
supportive family environment is singularly important in helping our
children realise their potential and live happy, healthy lives as
adult members of our society. Your work in helping parents and children
build positive relationships through massage will, I'm sure, make
a difference to families in need and in so doing, help create a more
positive future for all of our children."
Fiona Stanley
TVW Telethon Institute for Child Health Research
"This
book presents a concise formula and a clear explanation
of the non-physical aspects of massage that make the technique become
filled with the power of human love and compassion."
Dr Barry Green
Founder of Body Mind College, San Diego, California
"I
started to read Gentle Hands yesterday and I am loving it. It's so easy to read;
I love the layout and the anecdotes especially. It has already inspired me to
resume massaging Madeline. She used to like it as a tiny baby, but unfortunately
I've been overlooking it lately. Thanks to Gentle Hands, we are back on track."
Sarah Brown
Mother
"After
having given Gentle Hands massage to our son for months now, applying sunscreen
has turned into a massage opportunity! It's been a great bonding time for us all"
Sylvia Camus
System Analyst
"Gentle
Hands massage beautifully describes the tender way you will be guided through
the baby massage process. Harley's guidance is focussed, intentional, and filled
with loving care."
Robert Cote
Centre of Alignment
"Gentle
Hands massage has turned nappy changing from a wild wrestling session into a calm
stroking session. A breath of relief for us all."
Michael Hill
Regional Manager of Evans and Tate
"Harley's
book is a wonderful reminder of the importance of touch, and her Gentle Hands
Massage is an easy step-by-step approach to follow. A wonderful book!"
Gary De Rodreguez
Founder of Neuro-Linguistic Centre of San Diego
"The
earlier you start touching children in a healthy way, the better it is for all
of society. Gentle Hands Massage shows us how to do it with love and intention
in an easy to follow approach."
Linda Henning
Licensed Holistic Health Practitioner
"This
book is long overdue! Fortunately it is coming out at a time when people are more
aware of how vital it is to touch, stroke and connect with our children in healthy,
tactile ways. Gentle Hands massage shows you how to do that and enjoy it!"
Carrie Parrish, CPM, MPH
"It's
important to touch children from the time they are born, and more importantly,
to keep touching them as they grow up. Gentle Hands massage can be adapted from
the youngest to the oldest child. Buy a copy NOW and start touching your children
again!"
Lorraine Ruskey-DeAndrea, RN
"This
is the best book on children's massage I have read! It gives easy-to-follow instructions,
has a great reference guide with massage techniques to use for common childhood
ailments, and emphasizes the importance of touch."
Wendy Briggs
Director of Dalkeith Day Care Centre
"I
wish this book had been around when I was having children; however, it has been
a treasure use with my grandchildren."
Carol Wood
Owner of Broadway Kids
"I
started giving my daughter Gentle Hands massage when she was 3 weeks old, and
now at 21 months old, she expects at least a back massage every time I change
her nappy. It's a wonderful bonding time for us."
Sharon Weston
Teacher
"An
excellent addition to the field of massage therapy. It is clinically precise and
clear in offering concrete methods of giving a Gentle Hands massage to children.
I heartily recommend this book!"
Dr. Brett Smith
Chiropractor
"As
owner and director of "Whispering Pines Day Care Centre, I am very aware of the
importance of touch with babies and children. It is great to see Harley's book
emphasize that and also give clear and concise instructions on how to do it. This
book is a must for all families."
Yvette Putt
Director and Owner of Whispering Pines Day Care Centre
"The
beauty of "Gentle Hands" is that it is designed to be used as a handbook
for practical children's massage. As such, it is written in terms
that are easily understood. A range of photographs beautifully demonstrates
the techniques, and the many benefits of massage are defined for the
reader. I recommend the book to my course participants and to my clients
because I view it as a most excellent resource for parents and caregivers."
Jan Clarke
Infant Massage Instructor and Remedial Massage Practitioner, Armadale,
WA Australia
"This
book was an easy read and was well illustrated. My 4-month old son
loves to be massaged after his bath. He is so relaxed, he's been falling
asleep almost too early in the evening. He loves the facial part as
much as I love seeing his smiling face. The stomach techniques have
really helped in keeping him regular as well."
Jody Pawel
"I
have been trying to massage the girls (siamese twins joined at the
base of spines) and the book gave me direction. Thank you for your
guidance and thoughtfulness that fills this book."
