Free Infant Massage Course
I have just completed an intensive four day infant massage instructors course. In order to become an IAIM (International Association of Infant Massage) certified instructor, I now need to complete some assignment work and teach a five week course. I am inviting parents with babies from 1 - 12 months old to register for this FREE five week course in Westshore, starting on Tuesday
10th April, 9.30 am. Each class lasts 60 - 90 min including morning tea and a discussion topic. For further information phone Irene on 0273464857.
This is a research based programme. The benefits of nurturing touch are extensive for both baby and parent, including promoting bonding and attachment, stimulation of the immune system, relief of gas and colic, and relaxation leading to improved sleep patterns.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
