Massage and Fun

I have known Robert for 15 years. He has Rolfed (type of massage) my husband, our twin girls 8 years old (since they were 4 weeks old and of course me. Reading this book has reinforced a lot of what I have learned from Robert. But more importantly I learned a lot more of what I didn't know. I have found this book easy to read. I really liked the step by step instructions. My girls really like trying different kinds of oils. The drawings are helpful for those of us who don't know all the parts of our anatomy, like me.My children and I had a blast with this book.I have twin girl's 8 years old. They couldn't wait until I learned another part of their bodies to massage. They would say me first! No me first! The girls are both in gymnastics, competing this year at Level 6. I give them their message before each competition. It calms them down and focuses them on what they need to do. The one says "look out world I am ready now!" and leaps off the bed!They give me messages. A few times for full 35 minutes. I can't get that from my husband; and from talking to others they say the same thing "my spouse will only message me for 5 minutes, if I'm lucky." Massaging my girls is so fulfilling. The loving care I can give them is priceless. This book really makes a difference.
