Gentle Touch Baby Massage

🌟A perfect first class to nurture your baby’s development and bonding.

With 18 years’ experience and IAIM training, I provide a warm space to learn evidence-based infant, child, and story massage 🌟 My baby massage experience is beneficial by tackling issues like colic, reflux, growing pains, chronic constipation, anxiety, and sleep problems. In addition to instructing baby massage, I work in local schools, focusing on children's emotional and behavioral development, especially those aged 3 to 16 years old with various additional needs. My objective is to provide parents with enduring skills that nurture strong bonds throughout their child's growth. B.A.B.Y.G.R.O.W.S. - A nurturing start for you and your little one.

For the best Christmas or baby shower gift 🎄🌟

01/12/2025

Thank you ,
Will be visiting our class for some tips on Baby sleeping 💤

🌟These photos, taken almost 12 years ago, feel like yesterday at our baby massage class — tiny hands, big cuddles, and all the calm vibes!

🌟I absolutely loved going to Hilfra, Rayleigh not just to learn baby massage techniques, but also to bond with my little one, chat with other mums, and (honestly) eat Hilfra’s amazing cakes!

😴 Massage isn’t just for bedtime — while it’s a lovely way to end bath time, I’ve loved sprinkling it throughout the day, too: after nappy changes, during playtime, or any calm moment. Those little touches help babies feel safe, relaxed, and deeply connected.

It became such a beautiful way to slow down, be present, and enjoy tiny moments together.

🌟If you are local, I cannot recommend Hilfra enough for the best Infant Massage Classes in this area.
If you are further afield, please do look into a local baby massage class for you and your little one.
It was our favourite class.

❤️ Today’s discussion was ‘what have you discovered about yourself as a parent?”

Cranial Osteopathy 👶

Trauma from difficult delivery (very long or short delivery, ventouse or forceps interventions.)

Breastfeeding challenges (latching difficulty, preference for feeding on one side.)

Digestive issues (reflux, gas, constipation)

Our story

Sign up to my course and learn the wonderful art of learning your baby’s non verbal cues within massage in a welcoming and calm home environment. My course differs to others as I keep my classes small so that I can teach as much as I can in 90 minutes with my knowledge of information. Apart from the massage all my classes are mother led and work around what the clients want to talk about that day.

Im Hilfra and live in Rayleigh with my husband and 2 boys. Massage has helped my children with common problems like colic, constipation, growing pains, anxiety with school and sleep problems. They also become calmer and had improved concentration.

I was trained by the NHS 16 years ago as a breastfeeding consultant, I ran a successful group in Rayleigh and helped in MB2 at Southend hospital as well as supporting the help line.

I was swayed 12 Years ago by the local Health Visitor to train with ‘International Association of Infant Massage’ to become a qualified instructor to teach parents to massage their babies as well as help with feeding issues.

I adore working with babies and children with additional needs so decided to work part time in the ‘Glenwood school’ in Benfleet as a part time LSA, working with children ages 3-19 years old with various issues including autism, Downs and children in wheelchairs. Im still there 7 years later, this works around my baby massage classes.

Then to move my further my career, I trained as a Child massage instructor with the ‘Massage in Schools Programme’ to teach parents to massage their children fully clothed via head, arms and back. To enhance more skills went on to train in London to be a sleep consultant in 2015 with Millpond sleep clinic.

Working for myself I totally rely on my clients recommending me due to competition nowadays, but i feel after teaching 1000’s of babies over the years I have a vast amount of knowledge, including teaching twins; babies with tummy hernia with successful results; heart disease; visual impaired; premature babies and teaching parents with older children, the class can be adapted and cater for any needs, however involved. The calming effect in class makes a parent feel special, confidant and not judged.

SPECIALIST ONE-TO-ONE Learn baby massage in the comfort of your home with your other child, partner or another family member if you wish. The whole experience will be memorable and also learn some invaluable tips along the way!

MEET OTHER MUMS course run from the comfort of my home in Rayleigh. The classes are small groups of 4 mums in a tranquil, warm and homely environment. During each class there is time for reflection and discussion around a variety of topics as well as the opportunity to relax, have a cuppa and eat cake.

NURTURING HANDS CHILD AND SPECIAL NEEDS MASSAGE Maybe you have done the baby massage course before and now want to introduce it to your older child. This is recommended for children 4 -12 years old, this will help the child learn to relax, forget everyday worries like school and homework then hopefully a better home environment especially before bedtime.

Over the 5 weeks you will learn a beautiful massage routine with your baby, exercises each week to stimulate and how to adapt the massage for when your child grows, each session lasts around 90 minutes.
