What does your job involve and why did you choose this career?
I’ve been a baby massage instructor for ten years now, working very closely with local children’s centres, with referrals from midwives, social services and family outreach workers, and running private courses. I am a qualified nursery nurse and beauty therapist, so baby massage was an easy choice for me. I am a certified CIMI with the International Association of Infant Massage.
You also support mothers suffering from post-natal depression…
Baby massage may help with so many things for the baby, including colic, wind, constipation, teething pain, anxiety, difficulty settling, and much more. It may also help with carers who are suffering from isolation, lack of confidence, difficulties bonding and post-natal depression.
