I qualified as an infant massage teacher in 2016 and extended my qualifications
to deliver yoga, sign and messy craft sessions. I juggle this with being a
mother to my daughter. Before taking time off to have my daughter, I worked as a
teacher and Head of Department in a Secondary school for almost 9 years within;
Health and Social Care and Nutrition, at GCSE and A Level. During the first year
of motherhood I was diagnosed with postnatal depression, which was a little bit
of a shock. I had no idea about it, had never heard of it, didn't know how I
would be treated and helped along and I had hundreds of questions. Eventually
once I was able to find the correct support for me, things improved and I felt
safe. My whole experience as a first time mum suffering postnatal depression led
me down this path. I was keen to help and support other parents and carers,
creating fun sessions for all who attend, to support all individually who
attend, in all aspects of health. Making individuals feel safe, supported and
cared for whilst enjoying fun and engaging sessions. The thing I love about baby
massage and yoga, is the way it can help new parents build or enhance that bond
with their new born and it is very instant - I can literally see it happen
before my eyes, and this is a very special time. I love the way all of our
sessions helps both parent or carer and the child. It is so wonderful to see all
who attend go one a journey. Giving individuals the skills, the confidence and
self-esteem to re-create sessions at home. I hold the Touch Learn International
Qualification in Infant Massage, Baby Yoga and Baby Signing and a full and valid
first aid certificate as well as a yearly updated DBS
