Sharing lovely feedback from a beautiful mum 🧡 More than just baby massage - this program is a gentle space for connection, calm and caring for baby and MUM x

In the first three months, babies are still adapting to life outside the womb.

Massage during this stage may be very short — sometimes just a few minutes.
It can also be divided into small moments throughout the day.

There is no need to complete a full routine.

Newborns often move quickly between behavioural states. Being responsive to their cues is more important than finishing a sequence.

In the IAIM approach, we follow the baby’s rhythm.
If they pause, we pause.
If they need closeness instead of strokes, we hold.

Massage at this stage is about gentle introduction — building familiarity, trust, and comfort through respectful touch.

✨🤱Infant massage invites a gentle pause in the rhythm of motherhood.

Through the simple, loving act of touch, mothers often find themselves slowing down, breathing more deeply, and being fully present with their baby.

In these quiet moments of connection, both mother and baby are nurtured - reminding us that caring for our babies can also be a way of caring for ourselves. 🤍

Matrescence is the profound transition into motherhood - a time of change, reflection, grief, growth and becoming.

Honouring that unfolding journey and the importance of nurturing the mother along the way 🤎

More than learning massage strokes, this course offers space to connect with your baby and be supported in your own matrescence journey. Ideal for pre-crawling babies.

🪾🌿There is a name for the profound transition into motherhood -matrescence.

Just as adolescence transforms us into adults, matrescence transforms us into mothers.

The transition into motherhood can be beautiful, overwhelming, joyful and challenging - often all at once.

Matrescence reminds us that this experience is not something mothers are meant to navigate alone. Yet many mothers move through this season without spaces to pause and reflect on their own experience.

My matrescence workshops create a calm and nurturing space where mothers can feel seen, heard and supported while exploring this important transition together.

You are warmly invited to join the next workshop.

Tuesday March 17th and Tuesday March 24th.

Creating a relaxed, nurturing space where mothers feel seen, heard, and deeply validated as they navigate their matrescence journey is at the heart of all my programs and workshops. 🌿

This deeper understanding and appreciation of Matrescence is now woven into my infant massage sessions and new Matrescence workshops.
