Testimonials

Here's what our Mums say:

This really is precious time! Natalie has curated the perfect class for babies and their caregivers. Entering the beautiful room is like walking into a spa - scented candle, peaceful music, beautiful surroundings, chilled water and a delicious homebake. The weight of motherhood instantly lifts. The course is well structured to ensure you pick up all of key massage skills at a pace that suits small babies with plenty of time to pause (and the handouts mean you will never forget the techniques). Each session there is ample time to chat to the other mums and Natalie facilitates this really well. The small class size feels intimate and allows you to share the highs and lows of motherhood as a group, gain connection and reassurance from others going through the same thing. The quiet time to bond with your baby away from any other pull on your demands is priceless. I wish I’d done this class with my older two children but what a treat for me and my littlest!

Our favourite class of the week, such a brilliant course. It has been so great seeing my son and all the other babies develop over the 5 weeks. My son fed and slept through the first session but by week 5 he managed a full body massage. It is great how progressive the course is and the handouts Natalie provides are so helpful for keeping up some massage at home. Natalie creates a lovely atmosphere for the babies and also mums to chat and learn from each other. Her home baking is also wonderful! We are looking forward to doing some follow on classes.

"Eden and I have loved our baby massage classes. From doing the 5 week course to now joining the follow on classes. The handouts given throughout the 5 week course are great to help you continue massage at home too. Natalie makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed, especially as a new mum, and is so welcoming! My little one loves her weekly massage class, joining the follow on classes and learning story massage and songs. I have enjoyed meeting other new mums and feel it’s a safe space. I would highly recommend This Is Precious Time to any mums looking for a class to join! The homebaking Natalie does is a great bonus too!"

- Jenna & baby Eden

We love our baby massage days! Natalie is such a kind, hospitable and warm person. She is great at the massage (we’ve learnt a lot ) and provides a comfortable and safe space for mums and their babies to relax.

We have absolutely loved coming along to Natalie’s baby massage classes and follow on classes, they are definitely the highlight of our week! Natalie is so welcoming, knowledgeable and accommodating, creating a lovely relaxing environment to meet other mums and babies, all while learning baby massage!

-Abigail and baby Mabel

Absolutely loved our baby massage classes, a perfect and relaxing way to add some routine and social interaction in to those first weeks with a new little one.

-Antonia & baby Emilia

Myself and my baby really enjoyed the 5 week massage course, Natalie is so friendly and it’s been a great opportunity to meet other mums in the area. We’ve also been to some of the follow on classes which is good fun and incorporates massage and songs. Would recommend to anyone wanting to do a class in their maternity leave

-Aolani & baby Olive

We loved Natalie's classes and can't wait for the follow-on and Daddy classes! It was a great way to connect with my baby and other mums!

-Catherine & baby Theo

Such a special way to spend time with my baby on maternity leave. We looked forward to every week and have fond memories from our sessions with Natalie who is fabulous. Highly recommend.

-Charlotte & baby Hattie

A brilliant course to do with my first baby, I've found the massage and stretches really useful to use at home. Isabel really enjoys being massaged and usually ends up fast asleep. I look forward to the class every week, it's lovely to chat to the other mums and get a tasty cake too. Natalie is lovely and really goes above and beyond, I cannot recommend her classes highly enough.

Shona & baby Isabel

Myself and baby Lily recently completed Natalie’s 5 week baby massage class, perfectly named ‘this is precious time’ which Natalie really embodies in the course. Providing a relaxed environment for mums and babies, along with the added touch of a home bake each week. The class is baby led which makes things so much easier. A handout each week is also provided which is great as it means you can refer back to the steps to follow at home. It’s also a great opportunity to meet other mums. As well as being a lovely way to further develop our bond and learn a new skill. Overall I would highly recommend Natalie’s baby massage class.

-Amy & baby Lily

I cannot recommend Natalie’s class enough. We have just completed the 5 week baby massage class which Harris and I both loved. He was 7 weeks when we started and it’s lovely to see the change in him getting more used to the massage with every week. Natalie creates a bit of magic every week by creating a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere for babies and new mums ( the cakes have been amazing too). I’ve really enjoyed meeting other mums and connecting over something so lovely!

-Amy & baby Harris

"Natalie’s class has been such a highlight of my week and the 5 weeks have flown by! She is so good at explaining all the massage techniques at the same time as getting all the mums talking and giving us space to share our highs and lows. She takes her cues from the babies so you never have to feel awkward about needing to feed and change or if your little one is crying. I left every session feeling chilled and it wasn’t even me getting the massage!! Can’t recommend these classes highly enough!"

- Rachel & baby Zoe

"I attended Natalie's 5 week baby massage course with my baby girl. It was such a lovely course. It was a relaxing environment and a great opportunity to meet other mums, have a chat and enjoy some delicious home baking. Natalie provided a booklet and handouts each week so we could continue the massage techniques at home and share with dad. I'll be recommending the course to local mums who are due babies soon!"

- Caitríona & baby Úna

"Natalie is just so lovely and welcoming . Myself and Marty loved visiting each week and learning more massage alongside having a chat and a cake with the other mums and babies. Marty was in his element each week, truly loving the massage. Looking forward to coming back!"

- Hannah & baby Marty

"We loved Natalie’s baby massage course which had such a lovely calm and relaxed atmosphere. It was great to learn a new skill which we can now use in our day to day routine and it was also great to catch up with the other mums and Natalie each week!"

- Fiona & baby Rory

"This class was recommended to me and I would highly recommend. l learned loads about massage and local things for kids, as a first time Mum this is great. Natalie is amazing, so welcoming and it really feels like a home from home and totally baby-led class.. She also gives Mums the space to chat and connect. Weekly highlight and my daughter loved it, it's part of our daily routine now".

- Zoe & baby Nóinín

"Would highly recommend Natalie’s massage course. We had a great time over the 5 weeks. The course size is perfect. Not too big. The location is very welcoming. Natalie is super friendly and delivers the course really well. It was good to chat with other mums too. Lana loves getting her massage after her bath in the evenings. It’s now part of our daily routine".

- Siobhan & baby Lana

"Having just finished the 5 week baby massage course I can’t recommend it enough. Natalie does a fantastic job at making everyone feel at ease and runs calm and relaxed baby led sessions. Offering Mums a time to chat with others whilst feeling comfortable and at home. We just loved it!"

- Josephine & baby Honey

"Would highly recommend Natalie’s baby massage class. Natalie creates such a warm and welcoming environment and my little boy has absolutely loved the classes. We have now incorporated massage into our daily routine which has helped his constipation and allowed us a moment to bond and connect with each other each day. We will definitely be returning!

-Nicole & baby Ruben

We have just finished our 5 week baby massage class and I cannot recommend this enough. As a first time mum and with a newborn this was a lovely way to start my journey into motherhood and baby bonding. Natalie was a great instructor and a friendly person who made me and Henry feel so welcome to the class and her baked goodies were definitely a highlight. The classes itself was small and relaxing which helped me open up with my worries to the other mothers’ there and to gain reassurance. Will definitely book on further massage classes as it is a lovely way to create memories with Henry.

Michelle & baby Henry

"Thank you so much Natalie for a fabulous 5 week course. Was lovely to meet and spend time with other mums and babies. See them all grow over the 5 weeks and learn some brilliant baby massage techniques. Definitely something we’ll continue in our regular routine with Skye. Thanks again! Brilliant teacher, lovely relaxed setting".

- Melissa & baby Skye

"We loved our baby massage mornings, Natalie was an excellent instructor and host. The classes were long enough for massage but also for babies to feed/sleep/cry in their own times so it get very relaxed so don’t let a ‘fussy’ baby put you off doing these classes the class is well situated with convenient free parking nearby and in general the class was great value for money, especially as we had notes and oil provided to also massage our babies at home. I definitely enjoyed my time chatting to other mums and recommend wholeheartedly".

- Anete & baby Artemis

"I would highly recommend Natalie’s baby massage classes, my baby loved it and it has really helped me build the courage to get out and about more. A long afternoon nap afterwards is always a hit too!".

- Jane & baby Isla

"Rae and i have just finished our 5 week massage block and we really enjoyed it . Great way for one on one bonding time with your baby when busy lives can take over. Will miss our relaxing Monday mornings. Natalie provides a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere where you insanity feel comfortable, also a great way to chat with other mummy's with babies at the same stage as yours. I highly recommend, thanks again Natalie xxx

- Wendy & baby Rae

"We absolutely loved Natalie’s baby massage classes. The setting is calm and relaxing so you don’t need to worry about nappy changes, feedings, crying etc. We got to meet other new mums and babies which was lovely. We enjoyed all the massage sessions. In week two we learned the colic massage and I have been using this for my baby ever since. It helped with the release of the wind and my baby seemed more relaxed after the session. He often fell asleep at the end of a massage session and slept for hours afterwards. I would highly recommend Natalie’s classes to any new parent".

- Kasia & baby Staś

"I attended a 5 week baby massage course, led by Natalie, at her home in Cupar. Natalie is the perfect teacher - warm, welcoming, patient and she even baked for us every week! This is my fourth baby but the first time I have ever done baby massage, and I now wish I had done it with my previous babies as I have noticed huge improvements particularly with her windy tummy since doing the massage I learnt in Natalie's classes. I also hugely enjoyed the social side attending these classes and making friends with other mums of similar aged babies, and would absolutely recommend these classes to anyone!.
