Hello, and thank you for taking the time to check out my page. I’m a mother of three amazing children, aged 23, 10 and 8, and after becoming a Mum at 20 years old, this instantly became my favourite and most important role in life. I am also a gra
ndma to an adorable little toddler boy, and it turns out being a grandma is just as wonderful as being a Mum (sometimes even more so!)
When I was 9 years old Mum’s friend had a baby girl, and from the moment I met her, I instantly fell in love with babies and decided at the age of 9 that when I grew up I would work with babies & children. I started independently babysitting from the age of 13 and loved nothing more than looking after children of all ages, especially babies. I still absolutely melt the moment I hold a newborn baby even now, many many years later! When I finished high school, I move to Queensland where I found a wonderful job working in a childcare centre while I studied my traineeship in childcare. I was lucky enough to work with one of the most incredible ladies I have ever met, Kim, (who is still one of my close friends to this day) in the nursery with babies aged 6 week old to 15 months. I learnt SO much from Kim, and through studying my childcare qualification. After moving home to Victoria a few years later, I had my first child when I was 20. I continued working in childcare throughout my daughter’s toddler years, working as a private nanny for some amazing families. In my early 20’s I studied Massage Therapy, followed by beauty therapy, and have been working in the Massage, Beauty and wellness industry for the past 20 years. I currently work at a local Wellness Centre and also teach at our local Tafe in both the beauty and massage courses. Over the years working as a massage therapist, I have still always loved working with children, and my favourite clients were always the babies and children that came in for treatment. My partner and I run a local photography business, and again, newborn photography is my absolute favourite part of that. Check out our website here: https://www.flphotographywarrnambool.com.au
Anyone who knows me knows that I have always loved and adored working with babies, so when the opportunity came for me to study Infant Massage Education I jumped at the chance. Combining my love of working with babies and my passion for massage just made sense.
🤍INFANT MASSAGE EDUCATION CLASSES is where I teach parents how to massage their own babies. Parents learn techniques that help create an incredible bond with their babies, relaxes both the parents and their baby, and creates a calm, meaningful, and special routine that families can look forward to, not to mention a whole range of benefits to babies as well as Mum and Dad. Check out my posts on infant massage benefits for more information. My Infant massage education classes can be one on one classes, or small group sessions, perfect for Mums groups or friends who would like to learn together. The class runs for 90 minutes, and completely work around you baby's needs during that session. Parents are welcome to feed, change and settle their babies during the course as needed. If you are interested in infant massage classes, send me an inbox for more information.
