Format:Paperback
This book is so simple to read and easy to follow with very clear diagrams. It is a 'must have' for every Mum and you wonder how you managed without it before. Mary has a lovely way of expressing herself that everyone can understand, even if they have no previous experience of massage and I would highly recommend it.

I have found this little book a godsend. My son has ADHD and I have used the massage and aromatherapy mixes to try and calm him down before bed, and it seems to be working (touch wood). Before I started this it would take him around 2 hours to settle down to go to sleep, and bedtime was an absolute nightmare. He now goes to sleep within half an hour of going to bed. For the last 2 weeks, I have been able to go to bed before 10 myself, which was unheard of before. My only hope is that it keeps working.
I have also used the techniques on my husband as he was a 'bit bunged up' and the reflexology seemed to help him too.
So far it has been a good investment.

This book provides an invaluable catalogue of suggestions for very simple techniques to address all sorts of childhood ailments from stress and anxiety to headaches and tummy aches. The descriptions of methods and accompanying photographs are beautifully clear and easy to follow, covering not only massage but also reflexology and aromatherapy. Many of the suggestions take only a few minutes to implement and also include some self help ideas for children. Nor does it claim to be a substitute for medical advice but a support and supplement to it.
I've bought this book for all my friends with children and they are all equally delighted with it.
