I just wanted to send you a quick message and thank you for the content you have put out with Baby Osteopathy. The information was invaluable and I have been able to grow my paediatric practice exponentially since learning your skills. I am waitlisted for peds and looking for help at my clinic now! Thanks for taking the time to put these courses together. Iā€™m so glad I connected with you on this!
