I am the proud owner of Basking Babies Newcastle upon Tyne. My journey began in Essex when my son Edward had his first massage at just 9 days old! After giving birth in March 2020, baby massage classes became a lifeline during lockdown—and now I’m excited to bring that same support to families in the North East.  

My journey into parenthood was far from ordinary—Edward was born in March 2020, right at the start of lockdown. Like many new parents during that time, I found myself navigating an entirely new world from the confines of home. Thankfully, I discovered online baby massage classes, which quickly became the highlight of my week—even if Edward did sleep through most of them! 

Having a calming routine and a way to bond with my baby was so grounding during those uncertain days. And once we finally made it to in-person yoga classes, I realised just how powerful it was to be surrounded by other mums who just got it. 

My goal is to create that same safe, supportive space for you. A place to connect, relax, and learn gentle massage routines that can help with sleep, digestion, and overall comfort (my husband never failed to get a good poop!). Because parenting is tough—and no one should have to do it alone. 

I’m so excited to bring Basking Babies to the North East and can’t wait to welcome you and your baby to class soon!
