What I Offer
Baby Massage
Baby massage classes offer a gentle, nurturing space to slow down, connect, and spend time with your baby exactly as they are on the day.
Suitable from around 4 weeks old until your baby becomes independently mobile, these sessions are designed with early parenthood in mind.
I understand how daunting attending a class can feel, especially in those early months. These sessions remove as much pressure as possible. All baby behaviours are welcome. There is no expectation to massage, participate, or “perform”. Whether your baby sleeps, feeds, cries, or simply needs you close, you are supported and accepted.
Classes are thoughtfully planned with parents too, with accessible parking, suitable changing facilities, and a relaxed, welcoming environment. Hot and cold drinks and plenty of biscuits are always available, because caring for you matters as much as caring for your baby.
Each session includes time to arrive and settle, gentle relaxation, optional simple movement, songs and the gradual introduction of baby-led massage techniques. There is space to pause, bond and learn at a pace that feels right for you both.
Sessions end with time to chat and connect, supporting both learning and community.

Bespoke Antenatal Sessions
Walk and Wonder Meet ups
Do you have questions about labor, birth, or preparing for life with a newborn? Perhaps you want to understand what happens in the body during labor, how your birthing partner can support you, the range of pain relief options, or what to expect with induction or cesarean birth.
Recommended for parents from around 26 weeks' gestation onwards, these sessions give you time to prepare and build confidence for your individual journey.
Each session is tailored to you, your pregnancy and your priorities. Held in your home or on Zoom, they combine evidence-based guidance with practical tools to support informed decision- making.
Session options:
Face-to-face: £80 for 2 hours
Zoom: £75 for 2 hours
Typically, two sessions will cover antenatal preparation, with an additional session for postnatal planning. However, these sessions are fully guided by your needs.
Travel beyond the local area may incur an additional fee to cover time and expenses.
These sessions create a calm, supportive space where you can explore, ask questions and prepare for birth and early parenthood at your own pace.
Arrange your personalised antenatal session and receive guidance tailored to your pregnancy and birth journey.
Getting out with a newborn can feel like a mission. There may be feeds, outfit changes, soothing stops and moments where staying home feels easier.
These free monthly walks are here to gently remind you that you are not doing this alone.
Even half a conversation, one sip of semi-warm drink or simply walking alongside someone who understands can make a difference.
Community can be a steady support in the transition to parenthood, and that is what Walk & Wonder hopes to nurture.
Walks are suitable for parents and carers with little ones in carriers, slings or suitable pushchairs, helping everyone move comfortably together.
Join a free Walk & Wonder for gentle movement, fresh air and connection with other local parents.
Walk & Wonder Details:
Meet: Sandymere Road / Appledore Road Northam

Time: 10am
Approx: 40 minutes walking with a cafe stop halfway
Simply turn up on the day or email to let me know you're coming.
Jenni B. attended Baby Massage- The group size was just right. Liked that I can use the massage techniques at home. The nursery rhymes are really effective and loved the yoga aspect too. Baby massage is the perfect balance with yoga for moms and relaxing massage techniques for the babies. Perfect way to bond and encourage digestion.
Jerry T. attended Antenatal Sessions- Max has a wealth of knowledge. I felt able to ask questions. Stages of labour was eye opening. I have found the course so useful and supportive. I learnt a lot. Max was clear and reassuring throughout. Thank you.
Carmen A. attended Antenatal Sessions- Fantastic course, even for second time parents
Sarah M. attended Baby Massage- I really liked the mix of learning massage and getting to chat to other mums. I found the most useful aspect of the sessions how to soothe my baby’s tummy when it’s hurting him. The classes were really relaxed and enjoyable.
