My Story
After struggling with 2 unsettled babies who both suffered from reflux I decided to investigate alternate treatments other than medication. I have always known there were great benefits from baby massage but I wasn’t so sure on how to go about it. When I discovered an instructors course with Infant Massage Australia I was inspired to learn all I could so that I could share my knowledge.
Once I completed my training it was time to practice what I’d learnt. My children were the lucky recipients of all this practice and I came to realise how much we all enjoyed that time and also that massage doesn’t have to stop at infancy. In fact, what a wonderful way to communicate, soothe, connect and relax - from babyhood, childhood and beyond. Massage can change and evolve with your child.
My new career path had begun - I’d found my passion for teaching parents and caregivers the wonderful art of baby massage.
