Lainey is the most wonderful yoga instructor and ticks every box for me, from being so generous with her energy, To genuinely going with the ‘flow’ depending on the needs of the class. Her abilities and energy are unparalleled. This class gave me the tools and confidence to connect with and calm my baby in a new way, it’s also such a lovely excuse for spending more time stroking that baby soft skin 😍 Myself and my baby attended the online Calm baby class when he was just two weeks old. The online format was really helpful as I found it challenging to leave the house at that point and so it was amazing to be able to chat with other mums online, from The comfort of our own home.

My daughter and I attended Elaine’s baby massage class online. We did two sessions. It was absolutely fantastic. Great to hear other mothers stories and great to hear we are all in the same boat. It has now become part of our daily routine and I have found it really relaxing for the two of us. Thanks Elaine x

I really enjoyed this course, as did my daughter. Elaine has an infectious energy and her gentle, calm and relaxed approach to caring for an babies really put me at ease. The course is set at the right pace with a mixture of chat with the other mums and baby massage. The handy booklet included in the course fee means we can continue to practice baby massage at home even if I forget some of the techniques!

My son and I attended Laineys massage classes and absolutely loved them. I learned so much about winding & relaxing my baby. Most of all I really enjoyed meeting with & connecting with the other Mams. Lainey has the ability to create a lovely atmosphere where you can talk about anything and get support and encouragement from the others.
I’ve recommended this course to all my friends with new babies.

I really enjoyed the 5 week baby massage class with Lainey. Due to Lockdown it was via Zoom. Lainey was very relaxed and always checked in with everyone to see how we were doing. I leaned a lot about massaging mz baby and how massage can help with winding, colds, etc. It was really enjoyable and informative!

I did the 5 week baby massage class with my son Finn. Unfortunately it had to be via zoom but, nonetheless, we really enjoyed learning the techniques and having chats with other mams and babas who are in the same boat as us. Elaine is a very warm and bubbly teacher and her calm energy really relaxed me during the sessions. I use the Aromatherapy oils daily to achieve that zen feeling and help me get through each day. I look forward to trying out the yoga class next week!

Myself & little Odhrán loved our 5 week baby massage course with Lainey. With Covid restrictions, the classes took place online – initially I wasn’t sure how it would go but it worked out great. Lainey is so positive & relaxed, which fed through to us. It was great catching up with other Covid Mums too – the course had the perfect a mixture of chats & baby massage. I have definitely gained the knowledge & confidence to bond with little man more through massage & the benefits of this in helping with his wind & any sniffles he may get down the line. The massage booklet included ensures we’ll remember the techniques & keep it going at home 😊

As a first time mum there were a lot of things I was learning and am continuing to learn. One of my recommendations learnt would be to do this 5 week baby massage course with Elaine. My little man Joshua started the classes at 3 weeks old as he had some difficulty expressing wind and our public health nurse suggested I try baby massage, so we did. Elaine is very knowledgeable and has a wonderfully relaxed and bubbly personality, despite the classes being virtual, as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic, we were completely engaged throughout. She was attentive to the needs of the babies and their mama’s in the classes and provided opportunities for both to relax and chat, which was always refreshing. She also provided lovely oils to everyone for the classes, as well as a brochure with all of the massage techniques, many of which have been incorporated into our daily rituals as baby loves them.
The thing that stood out, for me, the most about Elaine is her obvious love for babies and her very kind and caring nature, which make her a perfect fit for this role.

We have just completed the 5 week Baby Massage class with Elaine via Zoom. It was a really enjoyable course, where I got to recap on all the baby massage techniques. Despite Covid and not being able to attend baby classes in person, it was great to have a weekly group where there was lots of chats with Elaine and other mums.
I would recommend this course to any new mums, it’s a great opportunity to spend one hour with your baby and set out some time out.
Elaine, is a really great teacher and makes the class relaxed and chilled, just what a new mum needs!
Thanks again Elaine.

I have just completed a 5 week baby massage course over Zoom with Lainey. As a first time mam it was great to be able to gain new skills and bond with my new baby. Lainey made sure each class was relaxed. Lainey made time for all the mams to have a little chat which was brilliant and I got some good advice from some of the more experienced mams.
I have already recommended this class to a friend and am looking forward to the baby yoga class.

I just completed this 5 week course and I definitely will miss our hour of escape each week. Lainey engaged with everyone throughout the course and put everyone at ease. In addition to teaching massage she also provided us with great general advice. She was great to open up conversation. The massage oils were very well presented. I was dubious how the massage class would transfer virtually but my doubts were proven wrong. I felt very connected with the other mums and I would recommend this course to other mums.
