RECOMMENDED BY: Sushmitha KS, entrepreneur, says, “I did an infant massage session with Abinaya. I was a bit hesitant since this was an online course but Abinaya was able to explain every massage stroke clearly. Initially, I didn’t feel confident to massage my baby on my own but the different perspective that Abinaya brought during the sessions motivated me.”
