How And Chillax started

I started teaching baby massage in my living room in Anerley fifteen years ago, after I had my second child. The classes filled up faster than I could plan them. New mums kept asking the same anxious questions β€” about choking, fevers, sleep, latching, signs to watch for. I realised what they actually wanted wasn't just baby massage techniques, they wanted more knowledge to help them be confident parents.

So I added first aid. Then I trained as a doula. Then I went to work part-time at our local NHS postnatal ward β€” because every time I walked into a class, I wanted to be bringing the most current, real-world clinical knowledge with me. Not textbook theory.

That's still the core of what I do today: take the medical and the bureaucratic, and translate it into the calm, practical, you-can-actually-do-this version that nervous parents and stretched-thin childcare professionals need.

What I bring to the room

Three things, really:

  • Real, current clinical experience. I'm on the postnatal ward most weeks. I see what actually happens when babies don't latch, when mums need help, when newborns get poorly. That keeps my teaching grounded in 2026 reality, not 2010 textbooks.
  • A warm, calm classroom. First aid teaching often feels clinical and panicky. Mine doesn't. I work hard to make even the most nervous person in the room β€” and there's always one β€” feel like this is doable. Because it is.
  • Properly accredited qualifications. Ofsted-compliant for childcare. HSE-compliant for workplaces. Doula UK member. So however formal your reason for booking, the certificate stacks up.

Outside work

I'm a mum to two. I live a few minutes from where I teach. I'm a sucker for a Crystal Palace coffee shop and the most boring podcasts about clinical research. If you book a private course at home and offer me a cuppa, I'll always say yes.

The quickest way is to book online. Otherwise drop me a message and I'll get back within a working day.
