Beth Newbery-Dunn – Baby Massage Instructor and Children’s Physiotherapist
T: 07954580160 / E: nestledinlove1@gmail.com
I am a qualified Infant Massage Instructor with the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM) and a qualified Physiotherapist specialising in children. The IAIM is the largest, most well-established, and respected baby massage programme in the world with instructors in over 70 countries.
Infant Massage specialises in providing a gentle and nurturing practice that uses positive touch to support an infant’s physical and emotional development. It involves the use of Indian and Swedish massage traditions, reflexology, and yoga to help babies feel calm and secure. It’s a holistic approach that encourages bonding, connection, communication, promotes better sleep, aids digestion, and can help with other common issues. Within IAIM we pride ourselves on being baby led meaning we meet the parents and baby exactly where they are physically, psychologically, and socially.
I have specialised in children’s physiotherapy in the NHS for the last 7 years with an interest in preterm babies and young children. Through working with preterm babies, I really gained a love for supporting families with bonding, connection and highlighting power of positive touch and the impact it can make on development. It was through personally completing a baby massage course with my daughter that I decided I wanted to support more families in a safe and nurturing environment, that’s when I trained to become an infant massage instructor.
I love that baby massage bring a sense of calm and connection not just for the baby, but the caregiver too. It creates a special space and nurturing environment where parents can slow down and tune into their baby’s cues, building confidence and trust. I love being part of that journey, empowering parents through connection, communication, and closeness with their baby.
