Member Profile

I am passionate about the calming effects of Baby Massage and have been teaching International Association of Infant Massage classes since 2009 in Northern Ireland, mainly in Belfast and Lisburn. As a full time Yoga teacher since 2002 I specialise in creating warm, friendly and supportive environments where parents can meet , make friends and massage babies.
I am a widely experienced Yoga therapist and Yoga teacher- I introduced Pregnancy Yoga in Northern Ireland in 2003 and have been lucky to teach Mums and babies Postnatal and Baby Yoga there since 2004.
I am looking forward to sharing the loving touch of Baby Massage with you and your baby.

Courses are ongoing throughout the year please get in touch for availability -
TUESDAYS- Morton Community Centre , Belfast- 12pm -13pm
THURSDAYS- Bridge Community Centre- Lisburn- 12pm - 13pm
One to O:ne or small groups can be arranged in the comfort of your own home
During this relaxing, 5 week course of International Association of Infant Massage , you will learn a soothing combination of Swedish and Indian massage strokes to calm your baby.

Massage strokes are repeated and developed each week, so that by the end of the course you will be able to give your baby/babies a full body massage.
A Manual of strokes, and massage oil, are included in the price.
The Belfast classes take place in Morton Community Centre ( off Lisburn road) and the Lisburn classes in Bridge Community Centre . Both venues have a lift for prams. Both are centrally located so you can enjoy catching up with other Mums and babies over a coffee after the class.

CALM BABY
A more relaxed baby will sleep more deeply and for longer, as muscular tension is eased. Massaging your baby’s tummy helps to relieve colic , wind and constipation allowing your baby to feel more comfortable.
Learn how to carefully adapt massage strokes as babies become active through to toddling, school age and adolescence. 

SUPPORT
There will be time to meet and support each other, as well share and discuss a range of parenting topics during snacks and refreshments.
The class is baby led and baby friendly so babies can be fed, changed, rocked or sleep.
• Helps baby to feel loved;
• Parent and baby to learn to relax together;

Don't worry if your baby is asleep during the class I bring a doll which loves being massaged too!! Your Manual will remind you what to do at home. Classes are also baby friendly if you need to feed or change..
