  • “I contacted Libby when Jack was 6 months old. At the time he didn’t want to do tummy time, he couldn’t roll over, and could barely sit up. She came over and worked with him, and gave me clear directions to help strengthen Jack’s core. After only 1-2 weeks of these exercises, Jack could do all of the things I listed above. Once Jack started crawling, we discovered he still favorites one side, which led to a hitch crawl. Libby once again, came back and worked with Jack, and within 1-2 months, Jack was walking. Throughout all of this, not only was Libby helping Jack, but she was building me up so that I felt confident to be able to help Jack. She would often reiterate that I was a good mom, and that Jack was lucky to have me. Sometimes it’s just nice to hear that. We couldn’t have done it without Libby. She is worth every penny and you’ll get a lifelong friend with it!”

  • The massage techniques learned are providing wonderful bonding time for myself and Catherine. Additionally, I sincerely enjoyed the opportunity to meet and hang with you and other moms. As a FTM newly postpartum, I desperately needed that connection. You provided a safe space where my baby could cry, nurse, and ruin her diaper without me experiencing any anxiety or shame around her normal baby behavior. I really appreciate your passion for your work!”

  • Not only did we learn tips and tricks for infant massage, we learned some extras such as gentle movements {aka baby yoga} and relief of colic/gas. In addition, we were able to bond as a group with other people at the same stage of life AND we had an awesome resource in Libby who was able to share her expert opinion, advice and firsthand experience!”

  • We had such a wonderful experience working with Born to Bloom! Andrew was 9 months and only army crawling, and I knew how important hands & knees crawling is for development so we were determined not to skip it. Libby was able to come to our house a few days later and observe Andrew and give us an explanation of what was happening, plus many exercises to help him gain more core strength. Within days of doing the exercises I could tell he was gaining a lot of strength, and within a month or two he was hands & knees crawling, as well as pulling up. Libby was so great to work with and very responsive. I would send her videos through text and she was able to give me tips and cheer Andrew on. If you are at all worried about your baby and their milestones, don’t wait to reach out to Born to Bloom, you won’t regret it!
