Introduction
Over the past decade, Dubai and the broader Middle East have witnessed a transformative journey in maternal and infant wellness. At the heart of this evolution is the art of baby massage, a practice that not only fosters deep bonds between mother and child but also offers a fulfilling career path for those passionate about early childhood development.
My Journey: From Passion to Purpose
Over 10 years ago, I embarked on my first baby massage and yoga training in Dubai, accompanied by my children. It was our first trip overseas and they were so excited to experience the magic of Dubai. This first immersive baby massage teacher 
training experience laid the foundation for a mission: to train and empower individuals across the Middle East in the art of baby massage. Since then, we’ve certified over 50 instructors, including doulas, yoga teachers, and baby spa owners.
I was so grateful to collaborate with Mel Craven, a dedicated postnatal doula in Dubai. Together, we expanded our reach, conducting training across Dubai whilst Mel held classes in Al Ain, integrating baby massage into medical care settings.
We have worked side by side with amazing doula organisations such as Dubai Doulas with Elizabeth Bain and Doulas of Dubai Organisation managed by Caridad Saenz
Success Story: Myriam Rizk Zen Baby Spa in Lebanon
Among our success stories is Myriam Rizk, the visionary founder of Zen Baby Spa and Zen World in Lebanon. Myriam originally trained with us over 5 years ago and her leadership and abilities propelled her services into success. Her business has become a beacon for infant wellness in Lebanon, offering specialised services that underscore the profound impact of early nurturing practices. She is an incredible teacher and we are building the opportunities for training across the Middle East together.
The Science Behind Baby Massage
The first 1,001 days of a child’s lifeāfrom conception to age twoāare critical for cognitive, emotional, and physical development. Investing in this period yields significant returns. Nobel laureate economist James Heckman emphasises that high-quality early childhood programs can deliver a 13% annual return on investment, benefiting health, education and economic outcomes.
Baby massage plays a pivotal role in this developmental window, promoting:
- Enhanced parent-infant bonding
- Improved sleep patterns
- Relief from colic and digestive issues
- Boosted immune system
- Accelerated neurological development
