Calm & Connected provides a safe place where parents can connect with their children through massage, yoga and reflexology.

💚 WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY | SATURDAY 10TH OCTOBER 2026 💚

This year’s theme for World Mental Health Day is ✨ lived experiences heard, real voices, real change ✨

EVERY parent has a story that needs to be heard and it’s always good to share with others going through what you’re going through as you are going through it. When parents share stories, we learn how others do life as parents and get ideas of changes we could try for our families to make life easier.

So this sharing of our experiences can be tough as let’s be honest, change is tough.

But…

That’s what we do at every class and baby group! The more we meet other parents, the easier it becomes.

Today is a reminder that listening without judgement, showing compassion and creating safe spaces can make a real difference.

Thank you to everyone who makes our Calm and Connected classes what they are. Today I’m celebrating each and every one of you. Let’s celebrate the courage it takes to walk into a baby group, perhaps knowing no one, worried about what we’ll do if our baby cries but taking the risk anyway in the hope that our shared experiences will matter.

💚 Every voice matters.
💚 Every story matters.
💚 Every person matters.

Hope all the mums-to-be enjoyed making their personalised blends this morning - our room smelt fab!

Thanks to Barbara Caring Hands Midwife for sharing the safety points in choosing the oils as some can’t be used too early in pregnancy and some not at all depending on any underlying health issues.

I think it’s safe to say everyone enjoyed a beautiful yet simple hand massage and remember - you now have to teach this to your partners and then you can have hand and arm massages anytime during pregnancy!!

New Baby Massage Instructors - Wow! 🎓

In February 2025 I delivered my first Baby and Children’s Reflexology Training course and this month I’ve delivered my first Baby Massage Training course!

These four newly qualified Baby Massage Instructors were fantastic and a dream to spend the last 2 days with. They are all Health Visitors so I’m excited for the families they will meet in their day to day work that they can share this beautiful therapy with.

Congratulations ladies and I’m so grateful you were my first students 🙏
