Do you dream of having your own pregnancy and postnatal massage business where you can support the needs of mothers and their babies through nurturing touch whilst building a loving and fulfilling career that fits around you and your family?
My name is Hayley Creasey and I am the founder of Baby & Me and The Baby & Me Massage Training Academy where we specialise in nurturing massage for pregnant and postnatal women & babies. I am a mum to my 2 young boys and wife to my loving husband Andy and I live and work in Lincolnshire.
If you are considering a career change but fear is holding you back, I get it, I've been there!
I know how scary it can be to make the jump from full time employment to self employment as shortly after the birth of my first son, I was made redundant from my 9 year career as a secondary school teacher, whilst on maternity leave...the fear that I felt at this point was terrifying, not knowing what I was going to do to support my growing family and the idea of not having employment to go back to after my maternity ended further down the line made me feel sick with worry.
I was booked in to attend baby massage with my son who was very windy and unsettled and just did not enjoy sleep AT ALL and I was hoping to find some relief for both of us through these classes that I had heard so much about as well as using it to focus my attention on something more positive rather than my impending redundancy.
As soon as I arrived and settled into that first session terrified that my baby was going to cry and that I wouldn’t be able to settle him and we started learning the massage techniques I knew that this was it...this was what I was going to do and I was going to focus all of my efforts into becoming an expert in my field and creating a safe and nurturing space for mums and their babies to come to to feel relaxed, cared for, listened to and supported and so Baby & Me was born.
After a couple of years teaching baby massage my thirst for knowledge had increased (its the teacher in me!) and I decided that I wanted to know more and explore massage at a deeper level to be able to offer a massage journey for my clients, supporting them with nurturing massage from pregnancy and into motherhood. I booked my training and spent my weekends in London retraining as a professional Massage Therapist with the focus to go on to specialise in pregnancy and postnatal massage.
I have spent the last 5 years refining my craft and learning all there is to know about this field of work which led me to combine my passion for education with nurturing touch and so the launch of The Baby & Me Massage Training Academy was a natural progression for me.
Combining my expert knowledge of teaching and learning with nurturing touch for pregnant, postnatal and baby massage means that when you train with us you receive professional teaching and in depth knowledge to allow you to support your clients on their motherhood journeys. With the Baby & Me Massage Training Academy you will learn SO much more than just massage and meet like minded women with similar passions and interests who love to support one another.
I cant wait to support you with your future training!
