Hi, I’m Danielle from Hampshire, and I run IAIM Baby Massage classes across Hampshire, Surrey, and Berkshire. I also offer 1-to-1 sessions in your own home, as well as special group sessions for friendship circles held in one of your houses.
These sessions are designed to be loving, nurturing, and gentle — the perfect way to start your day with your baby. As a thank-you, the host will receive the course for half price.
I qualified with the award-winning IAIM massage association in 2019 and on day one of the course, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in baby massage and give parents and carers the gift of love.
Fast forward to adopting two daughters and COVID in the mix, I worked in two local community centres facilitating children’s groups, including baby massage.
I then decided it was time to start my own business in something I’m truly passionate about.
Baby massage is a big part of my life and seen the positive effects this can have on both the babies and parents/carers. For me, I used to massage my daughters and look in their eyes and sing lullabies, which helped them drift off to sleep. With my youngest daughter, who had a milk intolerance, I used the stomach routine, which helped her reflux and colic in the evenings. Both my daughters, now aged 6 and 8, both still love a massage in the evenings and I’m grateful to be able to spend time with them doing this.
My working career has always centred around babies and children, and I have worked in nurseries, children centres, community centres as well as volunteering in an orphanage in Mérida in Mexico and a nursery in Honduras. I believe positive touch at a young age can help with attachment, and there is strong evidence to prove this.

"It was a wonderful experience for both me and my baby. Danielle was knowledgeable, patient, and created a warm, welcoming environment. She took time to explain each technique clearly. Although I felt overwhelmed to join a new group of mums when I had hardly any sleep, it was worth the effort for both of us. My baby was noticeably more relaxed afterward. I highly recommend this class to any new parent looking to connect more deeply with their baby and learn a skill that supports physical and emotional development."

"Millie and I attended baby massage with Danielle when Millie was 3 months old. As a first time mum I was a little nervous about getting there on time, feeding, nappy changing and what if she cried the whole time. But Danielle was so reassuring and welcoming from the very first message and in every class. Nothing is an issue and the classes are as much for the mums as the babies. We throughly enjoyed our course and Millie loved massage. We made it part of our bath, massage, bed routine and it was great for bonding and relaxing time before bed. I can’t recommend Danielle and the course enough."

This course was brilliant for my son and I. My little one suffered from uncomfortable gas and you could see (and hear..!) the relief he got from the massage strokes that Danielle taught us. She also has such a lovely nature, making you feel totally at ease and her expert knowledge made me feel more confident. We loved it so much that we are booked in for another course! 100% recommend 🙂

" Danielle conducted baby massage at home for me and my son. I felt more comfortable at home and was much easier around his nap times. Danielle is so lovely and friendly always so kind and welcoming. She made each session easy and understanding giving me plenty of time to learn each massage and the benefits. Since having my little baby it has been much harder to get my baby weighed, however Danielle brought baby scales which allowed me each time to check my baby's weight which was great! Highly recommend Soothing Stokes, this course has helped my little baby in many ways mainly struggling with colic and constipation to sleeping much better and easier bowl movements. It was lovely to have smiley face and friend to speak too."

"What a wonderful, calm, relaxed and informative class Danielle runs with baby massage. I have been lucky enough to complete a baby massage class with each of my 3 children and this one has by far been the best. My son and I have had such a lovely time. Danielle has taught us some really useful massage strokes to help with wind and tummy discomfort. I loved the relaxed nature of the class as we could follow the babies lead and it never felt rushed. Danielle creates a chilled atmosphere for parents to feel at ease with their little ones and then enjoy a cuppa and natter after the class. She has thought about lots of little touches like soft cushions, warm blankets and gentle toys to make the whole class experience enjoyable for everyone. Thank you for a lovely course."
