Member Profile

Welcome from Daniele. A proud Graduate of the International Association of Infant Massage (2017), London School of Reflexology (2019) and Institute of Traditional Herbal Medicine and Aromatherapy (1997). I have over 20 years’ experience as a multi-discipline Practitioner of Complementary Medicine, specialising in advanced Massage Therapy, Reflexology, Reiki and therapy for fertility and pregnancy. I run my own Therapy Practice in Totternhoe, near Dunstable, Bedfordshire.

Suitable for infants from birth to 1 year old and all parents/primary care givers.

I specialise in private one to one IAIM courses which consist of weekly classes lasting approx. 60-90 mins. over 4 consecutive weeks.

Course dates and times are flexible and available by personal arrangement to suit your needs.

So much more than just a baby massage course.....

The IAIM curriculum covers nurturing touch techniques (using massage as a tool), gentle movements for joint mobilisation, touch relaxation techniques, interaction & communication plus adjusted techniques to use as your baby grows into childhood and beyond. Lifelong skills.

We shall be covering a new part of the body each week until you have learnt a beautiful full body baby massage routine. Plus a massage routine to relieve symptoms of colic, gas, acid reflux and constipation.

The IAIM infant massage course draws from both Indian & Swedish massage traditions, incorporating principles from yoga and reflexology.

I will also be sharing information about the researched benefits of all these nurturing techniques to you and your baby, helping you to communicate with your baby and identify their behavioural states and engagement /disengagement cues. (After all, our infants are in charge).

In my relaxed, informative and supportive classes, and in the comfort of my "Safe Haven" Therapy Suite, only you massage your baby whilst I instruct by demonstrating on a training doll.

Classes are "baby led", meaning babies can be babies, so if class times coincide with sleeping or feeding, or your baby is just not in the mood - don't worry - you can observe or practice on a doll in the class. Also each week we will revisit the part of the body covered in the previous week, before moving on. Plus each week you will receive detailed handouts for home practice.

This is also an opportunity for you to benefit from my undivided attention, share your experiences of parenthood and receive additional support for you and your baby when needed.

Specialist in private one to one courses.
