“I’ve learned so much from Sejal and she is so great to talk to and very encouraging. Without her, my baby would have never achieved the milestones to where he is today. Sejal makes tummy time and routines very possible with her magic touch.”

“My daughter learned so much and got stronger and healthier from working with Sejal and doing the exercises she shared. I can already see the difference in her digestion, respiratory system, neck strength, and engagement with the world around her! I wish I’d known Sejal early enough to have her come be our post-partum doula. She’s just the best!”
Adriana Baer
She used to not like it at all but now she likes it so much she rolls onto her tummy by herself!
“Previously she was scared to go on her tummy…she cried…But she likes it now. She can flip over. It is easy.”

“I’m so thankful that we found Sejal! Our baby was early and had many challenges typical to a preemie. But, we didn’t know that! Finding Sejal and working with her on nursing tips as well as Tummy Time classes made an incredible difference for us. I have heard so many people say “oh, my baby just doesn’t like tummy time so we don’t force it” and I want to scream. We thought the same way, that our baby just didn’t like it. But really it was that he didn’t like how hard it was because he needed help. Sejal helped us understand what his challenges were and how to address them. Working with her meant that we were able to help our baby be even happier and healthier!”
