Did you know it’s Infant Mental Health awareness week this week 💜

We spend so much time talking about babies, but sometimes we forget to talk about the parents.

If parents feel supported and nurtured then this in turn supports a babies nervous system. 👶🏼🧠

And while baby yoga and baby massage supports parents with bonding, relaxation and development.

It also supports:

🌱Connection
🌱Reassurance
🌱Confidence
🌱A space where you don’t have to have it all together

That’s why are my classes are here to support both parents and babies.

💜What’s one thing that has supported you since becoming a parent? I would love to hear in the comments

This is exactly what the children say at the Pre school I’m working with.

They say ‘Yay, it’s sleepy time’. We all lie down with scarves for blankets and a little teddy. Coloured lights on the ceiling and relaxing music. The children love it and it’s usually their favourite part.

HE SAID / SHE SAID 🌈

“Can we do that sleeping part again?” 😴😂

Every kids yoga teacher knows exactly what she meant.

Not the exciting game.
Not the balancing challenge.
Not the partner pose.

The relaxation.

The part adults often assume children won’t enjoy.

And yet, time and time again, it’s the part they ask for most.

Because children are tired too.

Tired from busy schedules.
Tired from screens.
Tired from noise.
Tired from growing, learning, feeling, and navigating a very big world.

Sometimes what they need most isn’t more stimulation.

It’s permission to pause.

To rest.

To be.

And when a child asks,

“Can we do that sleeping part again?”

they’re often telling us something much deeper:

“That felt really good.”

Did you know that today is World Meditation day 🧘🏻

Here is a breathing technique that mums can do during a feed or a nap time. 💤🤱🏻

It’s called box breathing:

You inhale for 4
Hold for 4
Exhale for 4
Hold for 4

Great one for supporting your nervous system and to ease anxiety.

Let me know in the comments how you get on with it 👇🏻

Let’s talk about my birth experience.👶🏼

💜 When I found out I was pregnant with my first child, I was so happy. To prepare us for the birth we decided to sign up to my local NCT class and it was great, got to learn about the birthing process, different types of pain relieve, birth plans, birthing partner and a little bit about after birth.

💜 What I found helpful before the birth was honestly having my birthing plan written up, which I gave to the midwife as soon as I arrived at the mid wife led unit.

💜 I was very lucky that my birth went to plan, and I managed to have the water birth that I wanted with minimal checks.

💜My one word for my birth experience would be JOY.

So now your turn- ONE word. That’s all I want 🤰🏻Describe your birth experience in ONE word below 👇🏻

As Mental Health Awareness week comes to an end, I just want to leave this here for any parent that needs to hear this tonight 💛

You do not have to have it all together.

If this week has reminded you of anything, it’s

🌿You are not alone
🌿Support matters
🌿struggling doesn’t make you a bad parent
🌿You were never meant to do it all on your own

Behind so many smiles are parents that are overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, questioning themselves or just need someone to say that they are doing okay.

So this is your little reminder tonight 💛

You are doing better than you think and the small things you do everyday matter.

Thank you to the Bubba Calm community, to anyone that has been to one of my classes, liked or shared a post, I’m so grateful.

Here’s a question for you:

💛What’s one positive thing, however tiny, from your mental health journey as a parent? Share below 👇🏻

Sleep deprivation can be really hard and have a huge impact on parents emotionally 💓

And while baby massage and baby yoga aren’t a “quick fix” for sleep they can help aid relaxation, calm connection and emotional wellbeing for both parent and baby. 🌿

Through touch, movement, bonding and slowing things down these sessions can create calmer moments in a time that can quite overwhelming.

If this post resonates with you at all then pop a 🌿 in the comments or message me to find out more about my calm sessions.

Did you know?

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week 🧠💚

I always like to raise awareness around mental health, especially as I have suffered myself as I’m sure many people have or currently are.

Here’s my story:

💜After having my first baby back in 2013, I suffered with postnatal depression. I didn’t want to admit that I was struggling.
You see I had worked in childcare, always wanted children and I had all these wonderful ideas of what mother hood would be, but I think I put too much pressure on myself at the time.

In the end, once I had started listening to my body and tuning into my baby I thoroughly enjoyed my time with my baby. 👶🏻

If I could go back and tell myself anything it would have been this:

💜Trust your instincts as a mother, you know your baby best
💜Take the help where you can get it, don’t try and do it all alone. This time in your life you really need “The Village”.
💜Your the best thing for your baby

Let me ask you this:

What’s ONE thing that’s genuinely helped your mental health since having a baby?

Here’s something people don’t always realise about what I do 💛

It’s not just about baby massage and baby yoga, it’s about this too…..

Baby classes can give you the chance to relax, connect with other parents and maybe enjoy a hot drink and a slice of cake 🍰

For anyone that’s pregnant and interested. Take a look. ⬇️

✨ Group Antenatal & Hypnobirthing Course Coming Soon ✨

Launching this June at Oving Village Hall 🤍

If you’re pregnant and wanting to feel calm, informed and confident as you approach birth and early parenthood, this course is designed to help you prepare in a way that feels realistic, supportive and empowering.

Over four sessions (plus a Life with a Newborn session), we’ll cover:
• How your body works in labour
• Practical tools for coping with labour and birth
• Hypnobirthing techniques to reduce fear and build confidence
• Understanding your choices and navigating the maternity system
• Preparing for postpartum and life with a newborn

This course isn’t about creating the “perfect” birth. It’s about understanding birth, working with your body, and feeling able to make informed decisions throughout your journey.

Led by a practising midwife with 12+ years of experience and accredited by KG Hypnobirthing, the course combines evidence-based antenatal education with practical, down-to-earth support.

You’ll also be part of a small group — a chance to connect with other local parents-to-be and start building your village before baby arrives 🤍

Ongoing support throughout pregnancy is included too, so you never feel like you’re figuring things out alone.
