CHILDREN - OUR GREATEST GIFT

Parents, Parents-To-Be, Grandparents-To-Be and Caregivers experienced a relaxing and fun environment of an Infant and Child Massage/Tuina Class@ SingTrain Academy on a Warm and Humid Saturday morning. This is quite an "International Get-together" with participants from Malaysia, Spain, Austalia, Thailand and of course, Singapore.

We enjoy working closely with our participants to offer hands on instruction and help communicate their love for baby through touch and tactile stimulation using a variety of tuina and massage techniques.

Lesson continues on 12 Apr when our visiting Licensed TCM Practitioner Tan Ai Tee and Ms Penny Chew will continue with more techniques.

Be A Volunteer At United Medicare Centre (UMC) With Bryan

This initiative was mooted by Bryan Laoshi and supported by SingTrain Academy as part of our Corporate Social Responsibilities. As Bryan in currently in KL, I proceeded to meet up with Ms Tan, Nursing Director of UMC this morning.

She welcomes the idea of our students offering Volunteering Work at UMC Centre. The Centre , located at Lorong 6 Toa Payoh is the first purpose-built 240-bedded private nursing home which was initiated by the Ministry of Health. The 5-storey compound is professionally managed with proper Physiology Room, Guest Lobby, Residents Room as well as a Roof Garden. I have discussed with Ms Tan and have identified the Roof Garden as the most appropriate place to offer Touch Therapy and Hand Reflexology to the residents.

While Bryan and myself worked on the details on how we should approach this voluntary initiative and review how this would benefits the general health condition of the elderly, as well as the practical skills set and voluntary spirit of our students, I have taken some photos for your viewing.

Give some thots to it and let us know if you are keen to be part of our Volunteer Scheme!

How Can Infant/Kid Massage Help Relieve Colic?

One option to helping your child feel better is massage and you might be skeptical at first but after your child has a few massage sessions you might be surprised in the difference it makes. If you never thought of massaging your child or have never heard of infant/child massage now is the time to learn more so you can play an integral role in easing your child/baby's pain rather than simply listening to the crying.

Bryan Laoshi Certification Course – Hand Reflexology

It was a "Challenging" but “Fun” Day (I guess)! "Challenging" initially, as there were quite a fair bit of Reflex Zones our participants needs to pick up. But “Fun”, once you understand how these Reflex Zones correspond to your organs function!

A group of enthusiastic and participative learners spent their whole Saturday on 08 Mar 2008 with Bryan Laoshi & Wendy to better understand how Hand Reflexology, complemented with Herbal Soups can enhance Body Wellness and Beauty.

It’s a special day to launch this Certification Course with Bryan as it coincides with International Women’s Day.

CHEERS! To our ladies who “Makes A Difference” on this special day marked by women's groups around the world by - picking up a “life-long” skill set. Of course, we do not forget the Gentlemen who have extended their full participation during the course. Hope you have “Fun”!
