I am a mother of four, though my eldest is now 13! I really struggled with my first baby, he cried and fed 24 hours a day. I found a baby massage class and was relieved to have something positive I could do to calm him and I really enjoyed it!
My aim is to show parents how to 'read' their babies and develop confidence in their parenting skills, being a parent is great fun when you can relax and enjoy it and misery when your exhausted and anxious. I try to give parents useful, evidence based information but I also encourage them to have the confidence to find their own way.
Before I became a full time mother, I read a degree in Human Sciences and trained and worked as a research scientist in public health, specialising in maternity. Since then I have done two years of counselling training, a baby massage teacher training and a lot of reading on the subject of babies!
