Baby massage is a longstanding parenting tradition in many cultures & offers a wonderful experience and a special time to communicate both verbally and non-verbally with your baby, enhancing your bond & love for each other.

About Tonya Berrington

Tonya Berrington is from the UK. She was a primary school teacher but retrained to work with mums and babies after having her little boy in Abu Dhabi. She has been teaching KG Hypnobirthing at Bodytree for the past 4 years and is delighted to have added baby massage to her résumé.
"I have loved helping mums and dads to have a calm and positive attitude to birth through Hypnobirthing. My understanding of the nervous system has been developed further through my baby massage training, and I enjoy empowering parents to better understand how to meet their own child’s needs through the power of touch."
