Finding Their Feet

"In a world that seems to pull us toward an unnatural lifestyle, Bernie's book is a most welcome call to show us that nature really does know best." James Earls, author of Born to Walk and Understanding the Human Foot (UK)

"This book will support newborn parents, carers, teachers, and those in the sports, massage and yoga industries who work with babies and children. A great interactive book that got me doing something physical so I could feel what was going on."

P-J McCrea, Founder of Little Steps. Beautiful Beginnings (NZ)

"Wow! As a teacher, education researcher and first 1000 days specialist, I had NO idea how important the foot was in the development of the child! I really recommend that every educator reads this fount of fascinating information. For every parent just starting their parenting journey, this will make fascinating reading during your pregnancy and early days. Not only will you learn heaps but you will be so much more informed of ways to support your child in their development from the earliest of days, which in turn will help them to develop to their full. This is like no other pregnancy book!"

Clare Stead, creator and founder of the Oliiki app (UK)

"This is a very valuable book for parents, especially fathers. From personal experience, (new) fathers are sometimes a bit lost as to what they can do with their baby when they have to tend to them. The information and exercises are great way for fathers to do something that is fun as well as helpful! All dads should read this book!"

Gert Lippens, chiropractor and father (UK)

"An inspiring and informative read for parents and those who work with infants. As a midwife I recommend this book to other midwives so they can share this valuable advice with women in their care. Finding Their Feet gives practical and well-founded advice on how a parent/caregiver can, with confidence, have an active role in their child's development."

Dr Heather Donald, midwifery lecturer and researcher, Auckland University of Technology (NZ)

"Bernie has really done her research magnificently, and shone the light on the importance of primitive reflexes in the development of the whole nervous system. I recommend Finding Their Feet for bodyworkers, nurses and therapists."

Peggy Dawson, director of Service Through Nurturing Touch (NZ)

"Finding Their Feet will help parents, carers and early years educators learn more about physical development from pre-birth to two years. As well as learning all about feet, Bernie explores the fascinating aspects of reflexes, sensory integration and movement. There's a mixture of theory and practical ideas and activities presented in an easy to read, relatable style."
