"We would like to express my deepest thanks to Maria. She let me understand my son's problem and how to cope with his case. He is now much stronger, happier and less frustrated. After one month intensive physiotherapy sessions when he was about one year old, I saw my son great improvement. Before the sessions, he did not show his interest in new toys and he could crawl his tummy only. He seems clumsy and easy to fall when he was sitting. He did not listen to our simple instruction and did not know how to express himself other than cry. A one year old toddler should not be like this! Now he is able to crawl quickly and even crawl up a slide, has more eye contact with us. The most important is that he is able to explore the world himself and therefore he is much happier and willing to communicate with us. Time is most important to a baby development. Most of the brain connection developed before age three. I would like to tell parents not to wait if you found your baby may have delay in development. If you face this problem, you could better cope with it and help your beloved one to cope with it. We are so lucky to meet the right person to help my son. I wish other babies with such problem can also benefit as soon as possible."

"I'd like to send my deepest thanks to Caroline for the wonderful treatment provided to Jake my (then) 3 month old son. Ever since he first lay in his cot, no matter which way we lay him down, we noticed that he always slept on his left side. We later learned that this was the result of a spasm in his neck which clearly caused him pain and over time, was causing him to develop a flattened head condition on his left side. This was a real shock to first discover and caused me real heart ache to think that as a mother I could have let my son develop this condition without my even being aware of it. It was only when you actually looked directly on top of his head that you could see the change in symmetry, but how could a mother not spot this? I felt dreadful about it. Jake is our third child, so up to then, I imagine I was feeling pretty confident that I knew it all.
At the time, Jake and I were attending a Pekip course and it was actually the instructor who noticed the condition but who also, thankfully, knew of Caroline and her expertise in treating the condition.
After a few sittings with Caroline, Jake already showed distinct improvements in flexing his neck and sleeping more comfortably. After more sessions, we started to see real improvements in the physical shape of his head. Through Caroline I began to learn much more about the condition and the additional complications that it could lead to if left untreated.
Caroline was fantastic. Jake is fine again and as a mother I'm very much relieved! Throughout the time of the treatments, Caroline kept in regular touch and provided additional advice and tips on everything from nutrition to maintaining the right balance in life. Caroline is one of those rare practioners who makes her clients feel special and who really wants to improve the world around us.
Thank you Caroline!"

"My son had colic. His older brother and sister were greatly helped by craniosacral therapy and we wanted our youngest son to have the same opportunities. His head is now a beautiful shape. He is much calmer. I think the service provided by The Body Group is excellent. Although it was my son being treated , I came away from each session feeling calmer."

"My newborn baby was diagnosed for Torticollis and he also had very low bowel movements (once each 6 days). Caroline fixed it just in a couple of sessions and I can tell you that the baby is now 10 months old and his position is very straight. Regarding the bowel movements, he just started to improve once he started eating solids. I am very glad that my Doctor told me to go to The Body Group. I will certainly come back if I need to."

"Had a flat spot on the back right side of his head and favored sleeping only to one side. His head has changed shape and is not so noticeably flat. He now sleeps comfortably on both sides and also on his tummy. Extremely satisfied. It’s not easy working with such young babies who are unpredictable, but The Body Group staff were always very flexible."

"Generally not thriving, small stature, difficult eater, weak language, vomiting between ages 1-5yrs old. It is hard to prove/see improvement on the ‘thriving’ aspect. However when I went to The Body Group and Caroline showed me how out of line his spine was and how his stature was very obvious when pointed out, but I hadn’t noticed. Within 3 sessions she straightened his spine, the results were clearly visible. I wish I had taken a photo. Even friends commented when I showed them. This was visible and tangible evidence whatever you think about anything else. There is no doubt in my mind that a child must thrive better having a straight spine, one cannot argue against the fact a straight spine must make you grow better. The most noticeable effect on my child was after the first session. He was not informed of why we were going to Caroline for fear he would play on the issues to his advantage. Immediately after I asked how he felt. He said “Mummy, I feel all loose and floppy. I don’t feel like this anymore….hunching his shoulders and making his body rigid.” He plays a contact sport and gets hard knocks – I wish everyone doing contact sports was made aware of how easy it is to straighten your child out before they grow in a stuck position of the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Ever noticed the ministry of funny walks with adult rugby players? Thanks Caroline, will see you at the end of the rugby season."

"When my daughter was 3 months old we noticed she had developed Plagiocephaly (Flat head) and slight restriction in movement of neck/ shoulder. Her pediatrician was of the opinion that it would eventually get normal as she grows up. After waiting for 2 months and seeing little improvement, I visited Caroline for advice and treatment. Slowly but surely her head has begun to take normal shape, she can turn her neck on both sides and she is making attempts to roll over (Which she never did up until we started the treatment at 5 months). The treatment is gentle and non evasive which can sometimes make one doubt its effectiveness, but the results speak for themselves. Caroline is extremely patient and has a wealth of experience in handling/ treating infants. Thank you so much Caroline and the staff at The Body Group."
