How it all started

I founded Blossom & Berry in 2001 as a result of my experiences as a nervous new mother, feeling lost and unsure how to make my daughter happy.

My daughter Emily was very unsettled as a baby. I wanted to calm, soothe and bond with her but she was very colicky in the early weeks and cried a lot and I lost my confidence in understanding her needs and what I should be doing. I discovered baby massage and it transformed my life empowering me to embrace my role as a mother and respond to everything Emily needed as I tuned into my instincts and into her cues.

It sent me on an incredible journey that would completely change my life. I went from a city lawyer to a baby massage instructor and through my successful business practice I have been able to completely love my job, find my passion in life and spend time with my three children as they have grown up. This has been my greatest joy.

Honouring the teaching of Vimala McClure, founder of IAIM

I learnt baby massage from the International Association Of Infant Massage (IAIM). This was the first organisation to introduce baby massage teacher training inspired by traditional Indian baby massage that has been practised for hundreds of years to promote good health and wellbeing. This original training inspired me to study, practice and learn more about love, connection and infant mental health which created the foundation of Blossom & Berry. Vimala McClure is very much an inspiration to me in all ways and I am so grateful to her for all she shared as it has enabled me to grow and share in my own way.

 

Honouring the teaching of Drย Franรงoise Barbira Freedman, PhD, Founder of Birthlight

I learnt baby yoga from Birthlight who were the first organisation to share teachings on the importance of movement, connection and joy through baby yoga. Many of the practices were based on instinctive parenting and heart based ways of connecting. After studying with Birthlight, I took further training in post natal yoga and looked at the connections between occuptional therapy, play, song and movement to create Blossom & Berry's methodology of baby massage and developmental play. I am so greatful to Birthlight for their teachings.ย

My Points of Light Award from 10 Downing Street

I was incredibly honoured to be awarded the "Points of Light" award from Theresa May, Prime Minister. I set up the Blossom & Berry Nurture Foundation in 2014 to share knowledge and education.

I recieved the award for raising over ยฃ100,000 with the rest of the team in Love Support Unite to support programmes which include providing a sustainable feeding programme to over 400 children, empowering communities with education, providing adult literacy classes, medical outreach, family based food security and teacher training workshops. The award also recognises the work I have done with mothers in rural communities in Malawi with our training in health care, first aid, and infant massage classes. Nearly 450 women a year are supported by this work in Malawi.

In a personal letter, Prime Minister Theresa May said:

"Your ambitious work supporting 'Love Support Unite' and establishing 'The Little Blossoms Project' is providing health and education to vulnerable mothers and babies and having a transformational effect on the lives of families across Malawi."

What I love..

I love being kind, making anย impact ย nature, travel (airports make meย excited), festivals, books, pink sunsets, 1940's movies, romance,ย photography,ย make up, walking barefoot, wearing high heels, maxiย dresses, immersive theatre, dancing to soul,ย disco and rare groove, late night dipping, street food, the Savoy and all dogs.

I see life as a complete gift to be unwrapped and enjoyed every day. I am always creating, reading and learning. I am an official course junkie and I will never ever stop learning. My number one thing that I love to do is try new things. I never stop growing, exploring or expanding even when itโ€™s out of my comfort zone. It took a long time to get here but I am now fearless in the pursuit of happiness for myself and others.

I am multi-passionate and have diverse tastes from anything retro and vintage to modern cutting edge design. I love exploring and combining different styles of everything from music to food to clothes. I am an eclectic mix of old school glamour, book geek and a free spirit.ย I have a very open mind to everything. I am curious and believe you learn and grow through experiences so I say YES to most things.
