The full-body giggles when the instruments come out.

Family Music Time is a space to slow down and be present with your child while they learn through rhythm, movement and play. Through songs, instruments and interactive games, we support your little one’s development while strengthening your connection with them (and with other families too 💛).

✨Today I ran my very first Happy Tummy Session back after maternity leave… and oh my goodness, it felt so special.

Five beautiful families.
Five precious little ones.
Ages ranging from just 6 weeks to 5.5 months. 🤍

There is something so sacred about sitting in a circle with brand new parents — talking about windy tummies, unsettled evenings, growth spurts, and all the little highs and lows that come with these early months.

Today we:
🌿 learned gentle tummy massage strokes
🌿 explored soothing holds and settling techniques
🌿 chatted about digestion, development and what’s normal
🌿 and most importantly… slowed down

There were tiny stretches, sleepy cuddles, curious eyes taking it all in — and the kind of honest conversations that remind you no one is doing this alone.

Coming back after maternity leave felt tender. I’ve been in the newborn bubble myself again. And being able to hold space for other families while still being in that season? It feels deeply aligned.

To the five families who trusted me today — thank you. You made my first session back so incredibly special.

If you’re navigating an unsettled tummy, tricky wind, or just want to feel more confident supporting your baby in these early months… I’d love to welcome you into the next workshop🤍

Is your baby unsettled… and you’re wondering if it’s their tummy? 👀🤍

Before you Google, panic, or feel like you’re doing something wrong—pause.
Here are 3 gentle things I always suggest first 👇

✨ 1. Slow. Everything. Down.
Busy days, bright lights, too many hands… little nervous systems (and tummies) feel it all. Less stimulation can mean less discomfort.

🤲 2. Use nurturing touch
Gentle tummy massage + soft leg movements can help release wind and support digestion. Go slow, follow your baby’s cues, and focus on connection—not “fixing”.

🌿 3. Look beyond the tummy
Overtiredness, growth spurts, feeding changes and big days can all show up as tummy discomfort. Supporting the whole baby matters.

If this sounds like your little one, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own 🤍

✨ My Happy Tummy Workshop is designed to support parents with:
• tummy massage techniques
• gentle movement & positioning
• soothing strategies you can use at home
• and reassurance during a tricky season

Next workshops:

If your baby struggles with wind, unsettled tummies, or tummy time that just doesn’t feel… happy — you’re not alone.

Our Happy Tummy Workshop is a gentle, supportive space for parents and babies birth to 6 months, designed to help you feel more confident supporting your little one’s digestion and comfort.

Together, we’ll explore:
🌿 soothing baby massage strokes to ease tummy discomfort
🌿 simple settling strategies for unsettled moments

This workshop is about learning practical tools you can use straight away — and being reminded that you’re doing an incredible job, even on the tricky tummy days.

✨ Merry Christmas from Little Petals ✨

As the year gently comes to a close, I just want to say the biggest thank you to every family who has walked through the door, sung along, shared stories, cuddles, movement, smiles — and the very real highs and lows of parenthood with me this year.

Little Petals is more than sessions. It’s connection, community, and those small moments that matter so deeply in the early years. I feel so grateful to be welcomed into your days and your journeys with your little ones.

As we pause, rest and soak up the magic of the festive season, Little Petals will be signing off for the year. I’m already looking forward to returning to sessions in 2026, with open arms, gentle movement, music, stories and space to connect.

Wishing you a Christmas filled with love, rest, and moments that feel just right for your family 💫
Thank you for being here — I’ll see you in 2026 🌿

Baby’s First Christmas 🎄 a few gentle tips from one mum to another…

✨ Lower the bar.
Your baby won’t remember the colour-coordinated tree — but they will feel your calm (and your cuddles).

✨ Keep one thing familiar.
A usual nap, a favourite song, a quiet feed. Tiny anchors help big days feel safe.

✨ Watch your baby, not the clock.
Overtired cues don’t take a Christmas break. It’s okay to step away early.

✨ Less passing, more pausing.
Babies can get overwhelmed quickly. A cuddle, a carrier, or some floor time can make all the difference.

✨ Take the photo… then put the phone down.
The real magic is in the moments you don’t capture.

✨ You don’t have to do it all.
Baby’s first Christmas isn’t about traditions yet — it’s about connection.

Most of all remember your presence is the present.
🎄✨

Four months in, and this postnatal journey has been nothing like I imagined.

Having our baby in special care taught us that love doesn’t always sound like words — sometimes it’s found in the quiet moments, through touch.

When I couldn’t use my voice (lost due to illness a week before his birth) to comfort him, my hands became my way of saying, “I’m here. You’re safe. You’re loved.”

Now, back home, I still find myself returning to that same truth — that connection doesn’t need to be perfect or planned… it just needs presence.

This experience has deepened my practice and strengthened the heart behind Little Petals Wellbeing — a reminder that every gentle touch, every moment of connection, truly matters 💜

✨ The Sleepy Strokes ✨

One of my favourite little techniques to help babies drift off to sleep is what I call the sleepy strokes.
With gentle, rhythmic touch across your baby’s eyebrows and down the bridge of their nose, you’re not only soothing them into relaxation — you’re also:

🌙 Activating your baby’s natural relaxation response
🌙 Helping release calming hormones that support rest
🌙 Giving a clear, consistent signal that it’s time to slow down
🌙 Building connection and security through nurturing touch

It’s such a simple, loving way to prepare your little one for sleep, and it can become a beautiful part of your bedtime rhythm. 💛

Sometimes, the smallest strokes make the biggest difference.

02/09/2025

When I first trained as a baby massage instructor, I demonstrated with a doll, smiling at a plastic face that never cooed back at me. Fast forward to today and I find myself in a whole new season: newborn snuggles, tiny toes in my hands, and a “real baby” to practice on.

It’s equal parts funny and heart-melting. I mean, who needs a demo doll when your own little one happily (well… most of the time 😉) stretches out for a massage? Each stroke connection, deepening a bond as those little eyes lock onto mine, the gentle rhythm of touch reminding us both that we belong to each other.

And honestly, nothing beats the gummy smiles and the calm sighs that follow. Baby massage really does turn everyday moments into magic ✨

So here I am, swapping dolls for cuddles, theory for real-life practice, and falling even more in love with the gift of nurturing touch 💕

It’s a boy!

Introducing the newest member of the Little Petal Family-ALBERT.
After over 3 weeks at the hospitals special care nursery we finally get to bring Albert home. The kids are thrilled to have their little brother home.

We are so grateful to the amazing SCN team for all their support, and love they gave our little guy. A huge thank you to all our family and friends for your check ins, offers of help, and support. Now to settle in to life at home as a family of 6!

“Matrescence is the process of becoming a mother, similar to adolescence — a time of great hormonal, physical, and emotional change. It’s not a moment. It’s a journey.”
— Dr. Alexandra Sacks

We don’t talk about this enough.
The shift into motherhood isn’t something that just happens when your baby arrives.
It unfolds slowly — in your body, your identity, your relationships, your sense of self.

Matrescence gives a name to that in-between space where you might feel like you’ve lost parts of yourself… even as new ones are still forming.

There’s nothing wrong with you if you feel tender, unsure, stretched, or changed.
You’re not alone. You’re transforming.

It’s not a moment.
It’s a journey.
And you’re allowed to take your time.

You don’t need a baby gym or a perfect routine to support your baby’s development.
You already have what you need — you, and the little moments you share each day.

Here’s how simple movement woven into your daily rhythm can help build strength, confidence, and connection:

✨ Nappy Change Wiggles
Before fastening the nappy, try a few gentle baby yoga stretches like knees to chest or side-to-side sways. It’s a sweet way to relieve wind and get those core muscles working!

✨ Tummy Time with a Twist
Make it playful! Lay baby on your chest, place a mirror nearby, or sing songs while they’re on the floor. Just a few minutes at a time, multiple times a day, makes a difference.

✨ Dance it Out
Pop on some music and sway around the room with your baby in your arms or carrier. The rhythm, the closeness, the movement — it’s a full-body sensory experience (and counts as bonding and a light workout for you!).

✨ Roll, Reach, Repeat
Create little “obstacle courses” using scarves, soft toys, or pillows to encourage rolling, reaching, and exploring — all building blocks for future crawling and coordination.

✨ Face-to-Face Time
Lying on the floor with baby and making silly faces, chatting, or mimicking their movements is not only adorable — it builds neck and shoulder strength, supports visual tracking, and deepens your connection.

These moments don’t need to be perfect.
They don’t need to be long.
They just need you.

Which of these do you already do?
