About The Course Instructor

My name is Carolynn Darrell and I am excited that you are inviting me on your parenting journey.  

Ancient wisdom, modern parenting is a tagline I created to describe my parenting and teaching philosophy. There has been a recent surge of interest and research in parenting practices of long, long ago. Swaddling, infant massage and breastfeeding are a few of these practices that are high on the modern parent's radar. My philosophy honours thousands of years of evolutionary wisdom, but also values the needs and realities of 21st century families. 

NOTE FROM CAROLYNN:  YOU will be the only person to touch your baby. My role is to simply teach and empower you to massage your baby.Infant massage is an ancient practice revived that harnesses the power of touch to heal and bond. Current research, clinical studies and observation support the following benefits to name just a few:
