About Tranquil Tots
Kerry Neilands is the Lead Trainer at Tranquil Tots. She is a mom who loves babies and has years of experience working in Early Intervention. She is trained as an Advanced D.I.R professional, is a certified educator of Infant Massage (Infant Massage USA) and has worked closely with over one hundred families.
Kerry's love for the D.I.R model which helps parents to connect with their children and support their development inspired her to find other models that supported her work. Baby massage helps parents to understand their babies cues better and through the gift of touch and reciprocal interaction strengthens attachment. Baby Massage has been proven to be an amazing technique used to support bonding and aid the overall health and wellness of both the parent and infant.
