Member Profile

Hi, I’m Caroline, a Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI) trained with the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM).

I support parents through a beautiful programme of nurturing touch, offering both new and experienced parents a safe, welcoming space to come together. My classes are about so much more than massage they’re a place to build friendships, share experiences, and feel supported, all while enjoying the internationally recognised IAIM 5-week programme.

I feel incredibly proud to be an active and experienced IAIM member, having worked with hundreds of families across North Hertfordshire. During the pandemic, my work was approved by North Herts Council to continue in person, recognising the essential physical and emotional support these sessions provide to postpartum families.

Alongside my baby massage work, I’m an experienced massage therapist, aromatherapist, and reflexologist. I hold advanced training in baby and child reflexology, as well as hormonal balance reflexology, supporting clients through puberty, pregnancy, menopause, and beyond.

I’m also a busy and very proud mum to my teenage children. In my downtime, you’ll find me practising yoga or attempting Latin dance something I may not be particularly good at, but it always makes me smile and keeps me moving!

What’s so special about IAIM? Why this method of baby massage?

The International Association of Infant Massage programme is truly unique because it is centred around you and your baby. It’s not about following a routine, it’s about learning to recognise and respond to your baby’s cues, adapting your touch to meet their ever-changing needs.

Throughout the course, we explore how each massage stroke supports different body systems. This allows you to respond to your baby in a meaningful way supporting digestion, easing discomfort, encouraging relaxation, and deepening your connection. It’s a beautiful way to strengthen your bond and truly get to know your baby.

Massage, when applied sensitively and respectfully, can bring a sense of calm, closeness, and reassurance even during more challenging moments. You’ll be guided through options and adaptations, always with your baby at the centre.

A key part of the IAIM philosophy is recognising that you are the expert on your baby. As a Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI), my role is to support and empower you building your confidence as you learn to listen, respond, and adapt your massage safely and intuitively.

This isn’t a typical baby class. It’s a nurturing learning environment designed for parents and their babies. With small, supportive groups, it’s the perfect “first class” from birth but equally beneficial for older babies.

Alongside massage, we cover a wide range of topics including oils, crying, sleep and behavioural states, colic and digestion, reflexes, and how to adapt massage as your baby grows. Just as importantly, these sessions create space for connection forming friendships, sharing experiences, and realising you’re not alone on this journey.

Take a look at my reviews to catch a glimpse of the magic we create together in these sessions.
