I am a qualified Doula and Infant Massage Instructor, who just loves babies! My passion and aim is for parents to enjoy this special time as much as they can.

Baby Massage has been practiced since time began. It offers so many powerful health benefits and is a wonderful way to spend time with your baby. It will soon become second nature to you! Baby Massage reduces the discomfort of colic, wind, and constipation, and improves sleep. It also helps relieve colds, stimulates the immune system, and can even help with teething. The list of its benefits is endless and not only will your baby benefit, but you too will become more relaxed. If you are breastfeeding, massage can even help to produce more milk as massaging your baby increases prolactin! If you would like to learn how to massage, I now have an accredited online guide, this can be done whenever you feel like it and without leaving the house! It's relaxing, soothing, and full of useful tips and techniques for you and your baby and can be found on www.bestbeginning.co.uk. (The course has a launch price of only £27!)

OR.... Get a group of friends together and I can come to you! Starting from March 2022 I am running home classes which I am so excited to be doing again. (More info about these under the 'Events' heading on this page)

If you have any further questions please feel free to get in touch! Much love, Hils x

We are back from an incredible family wedding in Chile 🇨🇱 and little did I know when I bought this dress 30+ years ago that it was going to be such a favourite!

Jennie, the little baby on my hip, is now the same age as I was holding her in the photo, dress still going strong 🥰🙏💪🏻😆

Happy Days 💕

Much love to everyone, Hils xx

Hello lovely friends, hope everyone is well ❤️

We have been chatting quite a bit in classes recently about 'Baby Sleep' and so thought I would reshare some gentle tips and ideas 💕

Much Love, Hils xx

If you have a baby, it's pretty much guaranteed that people will ask how your baby is sleeping. Here are my 15 top tips for helping your baby with sleep.

This week has been a real reminder to me of that for all walks of life ❤️

We had a chat at a gorgeous class this week about doing what feels right as a parent and everyone was so chilled with their plans 🫠

When I had my babies (a million years ago but actually our last baby was 2010) the advice 'baby sleep wise' didn't feel right to me, I chose to ignore it as my instincts told me otherwise.

This advice has now changed and I'm so happy my husband and I trusted our feelings.

Be you, fads and advice change about so many different things re parenting but trust your wings ❤️

Happy Days 💃💕

Love always, Hils xx

I've just found this wonderful box, too sweet not to share 💕

Hello again lovely friends ♥️

Hope everyone is well and congratulations to all the new little joys in the world 🙏💕

If anyone would like to learn how to massage their baby (which has HUGE health benefits for both yourself and your baby) then do feel free to get in touch.

I'm running small group classes (in the comfort of your own home) for 3 week blocks.

We will learn everything there is to know about massaging your baby and with lots of extra baby tips along the way 😘

Each class runs from 10am till 11.45am 'ish (normally longer🤭), usually with massage first and then coffee and chat, so we have noooo need to rush anything.
(These times are flexible, I can fit in with whatever suits everyone best)

The cost of the course is a set £270 with a maximum of 8 babies, although ideally 6 for space.

This works out at £15 per session if there are 6 of you 🙏

I will bring changing mats, cushions, a 100ml bottle of grapeseed oil each and an information booklet with reminders of all the strokes you will learn (plus a certificate at the end)

Soooo looking forward to being back in the land of babies 😁👏

Any other questions or to check availability for organising a class with friends, then just message on:

Much love always, Hils ###

Hello lovely friends, I hope everyone is well ❤️

Life has been more than generous over the last while in giving our family some pretty tough things to deal with and so I'm taking a step back from Best Beginning for a while.

Once life is on a more even keel, the first thing I would adore to do is be back in the land of babies, doing what I love ❤️🤗

Thank you to everyone who was booked in for being so kind and understanding 🙏

With my love always, Hils xx

Much love, Hils xx

The Magic of Massage..

CONGRATULATIONS on your little joy!

Baby massage has been practised since time began because of its major health benefits and is a wonderful way to spend time with your baby , it will soon become second nature to you. It reduces the discomfort of colic, wind and constipation, induces deeper and longer sleep, helps relieve colds, stimulates the immune system and can even help with teething. The list of its benefits are endless and not only will your baby benefit but you too will be more relaxed and if breastfeeding can even produce more milk as massaging your baby increases prolactin! I run classes in The Scottish Borders to help other parents and carers learn the techniques. We work on a different part of the body each week and I am constantly amazed at the difference it makes to the babies who come (and their Mummies!) As a Doula I also share lots of tips for life with a new baby and completed an Infant Mental Health and Development course in 2016 which was fascinating! The courses are 5 weeks long and last about an hour or so. We have coffee and home baking after the massage (during the hours class) and its a wonderful way to get together with like minded friends either old or new. ALL DETAILS of class times and venues are on my website and please note booking is essential as classes can fill well in advance. The classes are super relaxed and friendly and VERY baby led, please don’t worry if your baby cries, they are babies and its not a problem. NOTE - babies cant be massaged for 2 days after vaccinations. If you have any further questions then feel free to get in touch and happy snuggling, With love, Hils x
