At Baby Calm, I offer nurturing baby massage courses and informative baby & child first aid training designed to support parents, caregivers, and their little ones through the early years with confidence.

My popular five-week Baby Massage Course combines the benefits of nurturing touch with essential baby first aid knowledge. You'll learn how to massage your baby confidently, helping to strengthen your bond and attachment while supporting common concerns such as colic, wind, constipation, and teething. Each week focuses on a new body area, gradually building to a full massage routine that you can continue at home.

Alongside massage, we discuss important baby first aid topics including choking, meningitis, burns and scalds, baby CPR, seizures and febrile convulsions, recovery positions, and what to do in an emergency. The course provides practical knowledge and reassurance to help you feel more confident caring for your baby.

I also run dedicated Baby & Child First Aid Evenings for parents, grandparents, carers, and anyone responsible for the care of young children. These relaxed and engaging sessions cover life-saving skills and practical advice, giving you the confidence to respond effectively should an emergency arise.

Of course, like every good baby group, there are plenty of refreshments, friendly conversation, and opportunities to connect with other local families. My classes are extremely relaxed and baby-led. You're always welcome to feed, change, cuddle, and tend to your baby's needs throughout the session.

I provide a cosy, calm, and non-judgemental environment where parents are recognised as the experts on their own babies. Group sizes are kept small to ensure everyone receives individual support and guidance, and great care is taken to create a peaceful setting free from unnecessary noise and overstimulation.

Whether you're joining a baby massage course, attending a first aid evening, or both, my aim is to help you feel supported, informed, and confident in your parenting journey.

Everything is provided for the classes—all you need to do is come along and enjoy some special time with your baby, learn valuable skills, and meet other local families.

I look forward to welcoming you.
