23.01.2022 How long should you massage your baby for? For as long as your baby wants to receive one Create a calming space where both you and your baby can relax, uninterrupted, and watch your babies cues- not the clock.
22.01.2022 A gentle reminder to not just take the photos, but to be in them too. This time with your baby goes so quickly. Don’t worry about your hair, the extra weight, the bags under your eyes. Don’t take the photos for social media. Don’t take them to get likes and comments. Take them for yourself. To remember this time, how tiny your baby is, how strong and amazing your body is and what it has produced. Over time your memory of these precious moments will fade. Take the photos to ...look back on. To share with your children as they grow up. To remember this sleepless time that may seem never ending- but it is so short lived. How many of us have photos of our kids with their dad, our partners and husbands, but we rarely get in the photo too as we are behind the camera? I’m so guilty of this and am trying harder to take more photos of me with my children. @spiritysol #munchkinmassage #babymassage #infantmassage #instuctor #takethephotos #newborn #motherhood #sleep #bonding #love #babylove #holistichealing #newmum #maternity #pregnancy #babybonding #massage #baby #mumssupportingmums #holistichealth #fourthtrimester #northernbeaches #alternativemedicine #holisticmama #attachmentparenting #babytips #maternalmentalhealth
18.01.2022 #worldbreastfeedingweek2020 Today I made the realisation that since becoming a mum in October 2012 and to today, there has only been 17 months in that time frame that I haven’t been either pregnant or breastfeeding! It hasn’t been at all easy, with 7 rounds of mastitis between 3 children, babies that will only settle at the breast, lots of night wakings, comfort feeding, cluster feeding... but I wouldn’t change it for anything! Pregnancy for me is very difficult, and I’ve h...ad 2 c sections- but breastfeeding I can do! And I’m proud of how hard I’ve worked to feed my babies and sacrificed a lot to provide for them. I wonder if I will be still feeding at next years Breastfeeding Week? Time will tell! #munchkinmassage #babymassage #infantmassage #breastfeeding #mastitis #worldbreastfeedingweek #newborn #motherhood #internationalbreastfeedingweek #sleep #bonding #pnd #love #babylove #postpartum #holistichealing #newmum #maternity #pregnancy #babybonding #mumssupportingmums #holistichealth #fourthtrimester #northernbeaches #holisticmama #attachmentparenting #lactation #nursingmama #maternalmentalhealth
15.01.2022 Studies have shown that touch therapy and massaging a premature infant can have huge benefits in weight gain, which can result in earlier discharge from hospital. Kangaroo care- which is skin to skin contact between mother and baby- is one of the touch therapies used in NICU and encouraged by massage instructors. This is one of the first steps used in introducing a baby to touch, before starting massage. Many factors are taken into consideration before massage can commence on... a premature baby. If you would like more information, get in touch! I’d love to hear from you. #munchkinmassage #babymassage #infantmassage #instuctor #NICU #feelgoodhormones #newborn #motherhood #kangaroocare #bonding #love #premature #holistichealing #newmum #maternity #premmiebaby #pregnancy #massage #baby #mumssupportingmums #holistichealth #touchtherapy #northernbeaches #weightgain #holisticmama #attachmentparenting #babytips #maternalmentalhealth
14.01.2022 Removing your jewellery and making sure your nails aren’t too sharp are two very simple steps you can do before you massage your baby. Timing, the room temperature and environment all play a role in ensuring a blissful massage experience for both you and your baby. A qualified instructor can help show you the simple ways to set the mood and can guide you to learn the cues for when the best time for massage is.

11.01.2022 Today I had the pleasure of meeting gorgeous 1 month old Hugh. Mum Amy did a fantastic job performing the massage sequence for wind, colic and constipation, getting instant results with Hugh releasing some trapped wind! I hope Amy and Hugh both feel the benefits of massage as they continue to use the techniques they learnt today
11.01.2022 Thank goodness for baby carriers! This @ergobabydownunder has been used for all 3 of my girls. Top left is Audrey in 2013, bottom left is Evie in 2015 and the picture on the right is baby Bella in 2020. Just like infant massage, baby- wearing is another way to promote bonding through touch. Your baby’s head can rest peacefully on your chest, listening to your heart beat. You can make eye contact and speak softly to your baby. Baby can sleep soundly while you move ar...ound using both hands. And my favourite part- their head is in the perfect position for many, many kisses Combining infant massage and baby wearing makes for the perfect recipe for bonding between mother and baby. Both engage the senses of touch, sound and smell, promote trust and spending quality time together. I don’t know what I would do without my baby carrier! It is a lifesaver at the moment! #munchkinmassage #babymassage #infantmassage #instuctor #babywearing #newborn #motherhood #sleep #bonding #love #babylove #holistichealing #newmum #maternity #pregnancy #babybonding #massage #baby #mumssupportingmums #holistichealth #fourthtrimester #northernbeaches #alternativemedicine #holisticmama #attachmentparenting #babytips #maternalmentalhealth
10.01.2022 Did you know that you don’t need to massage your baby right before bed time to experience the benefits massage has for helping to promote sleep? The effects of massage last well after you have finished. And I can’t think of a better duo for getting a baby to sleep ... a blissful massage and the heartbeat of a Lulla Doll If you would like to learn more about infant massage, please send me a message, or follow me on Facebook and Instagram for helpful hints and tips. ... @lulladoll_australia @lulla_doll #munchkinmassage #babymassage #infantmassage #instuctor #lulladoll #newborn #motherhood #sleep #bonding #pnd #love #babylove #safe # #newmum #maternity #pregnancy #babybonding #massage #baby #heretohelp #deepsleep #fourthtrimester #northernbeaches #attachmentparenting #positive #calm #babytips #maternalmentalhealth #parenting
09.01.2022 This is the world’s first ever magnetic resonance image showing a mother and child’s bond. The image is of neuroscientist Rebecca Saxe kissing her two month old son. The child’s brain appears to be smoother and darker. This is because it has significantly less white matter. White matter is comprised of myelin, which is fatty tissue that acts as insulation for the wires that communicate messages inside your brain.... Kissing causes a chemical reaction in your brain, including a burst of the hormone oxytocin. Oxytocin is often referred to as the ‘love hormone’ because it stirs up feelings of affection and attachment. Kissing activates the brain’s reward system; releasing dopamine which makes us feel good. It also releases vasopressin which bonds mothers with babies and romantic partners to each other. It also releases serotonin which helps to regulate our mood.

07.01.2022 Knowing which oils, creams and lotions to use when massaging your baby is just as important as knowing which techniques to use. As a Paediatric Massage Consultant and Certified Infant Massage Instructor, I can help you decide which mediums to use and which ones are the safest for your baby’s precious skin. #munchkinmassage #babymassage #infantmassage #paedatricmassageconsultant... #newborn #motherhood #oil #bonding #pnd #love #babylove #safe # #newmum #information #maternity #pregnancy #mothershelp #massage #infant #newborn #baby #heretohelp #fourthtrimester #northernbeaches #attachmentparenting #positive #mumssupportingmums #holistichealth #maternalmentalhealth #naturalparenting See more
06.01.2022 The relationship between a mother and baby is one of the most precious moments in a woman’s life. Take it all in- the cuddles, the smell, the rocking, the cluster feeding, the sleep deprivation. It goes by so fast. You blink and they are 5 years old. Massaging your baby is one of the ways you can maximise the bonding experience with your young baby, and it carries on into when they are children. ...
