Hi! I'm Beth, an infant massage teacher, doula, hypnobirthing teacher and I’m passionate about helping families build confidence, connection, and calm through nurturing touch. My work is rooted in the belief that every parent and caregiver—no matter their background, experience, or family structure—deserves a supportive, welcoming space to learn skills that strengthen the bond with their baby and promote wellbeing for the whole household.

My journey into infant massage began shortly after the birth of my first child, when I discovered how powerful gentle, responsive touch could be for soothing sleepless nights, easing colic and discomfort, and deepening our relationship during those early, transformative months. What started as a personal practice soon grew into a professional calling. I trained formally as an infant massage instructor, and since then, I’ve had the joy of guiding families through this beautiful, grounding practice.

In my classes, I aim to create a warm, relaxed environment where parents and carers can feel completely at ease. There’s no pressure to have a “perfect” session—babies cry, feed, nap, wriggle, and demand attention, and all of that is welcome. My role is to support you at your pace, offer clear and gentle guidance, and make sure you leave feeling empowered and connected, not overwhelmed.

I run both group sessions and private home visits across South East London, including Lewisham, Bromley and Southwark and surrounding neighbourhoods. Whether you join a cosy community class or prefer the comfort and familiarity of learning at home, you’ll find a space where your baby’s cues are honoured and your own needs are respected. Many families tell me that beyond learning massage techniques, they treasure the opportunity to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy dedicated bonding time without distractions.

My teaching draws on accredited IAIM infant massage methods, with an emphasis on responsive parenting, respectful communication, and the importance of tuning into your baby’s unique rhythms. I also incorporate simple relaxation techniques for adults, because supporting caregivers is just as important as nurturing little ones. When you feel calm, confident, and present, your baby feels it too.

I welcome all families—first-time parents, solo parents, experienced parents, LGBTQ+ parents, adoptive parents, carers, and anyone else who wants to build a loving connection with the baby in their care. My classes are intentionally inclusive, gentle, and judgement-free. I believe that every family’s journey is individual and valid, and I’m here to support you with encouragement and warmth.

If you’re looking for a relaxed space to learn infant massage, connect with your baby, and meet other families in your community, I’d love to welcome you to a class. My hope is that the skills you learn stay with you long after your baby outgrows the early months, becoming part of a lifelong foundation of trust, love, and connection.

If this sounds good to you and you'd like to book a session with me either at a group class or privately, please email bornnewdoula@gmail.com and we shall go from there!
