Blossom & Berry was founded by Gayle Berry in 2002. Gayle trained as a solicitor but after experiencing the benefits of baby massage with her baby, she retrained and became a baby massage instructor. Gayle’s enthusiasm for working with parents, babies and children led to her training in baby yoga, pregnancy massage and aromatherapy. Gayle is also a qualified life coach and specialises in working with parents and is a clinical hypnotherapist. She also has three children who have inspired her to train to teach massage and yoga to infants and children of all ages.
Gayle has worked with a number of organisations such as Pampers, Nurofen for Children, Colief and New World Music to create resources and provide information on baby massage and yoga. She has written articles and has provided advice on baby massage and yoga for Mother & Baby Magazine and Practical Parenting Magazine. Gayle was also the lead speaker for Nurofen for Children’s Mum’s School at the Baby Show at the NEC and London’s Earls Court. She was written a number of blog posts for the Huffington Post and also presented their Facebook live on baby massage to an audience of over 14,000 people. She is currently Huggies Wipes, baby massage and baby binding expert and an ambassador for Karma Love.
Gayle is always keen to volunteer to spread the benefits of massage and positive touch and has provided massage treatments for patients at St Helena’s Hospice. Blossom & Berry also supports voluntary initiatives such as the Fairy Godmother’s Club which provides post natal support for new parents. Gayle is also teaching at the first baby massage and yoga retreat for mothers and babies in Italy with mum and baby experiences. Gayle runs the Little Blossom Project, a charitable initiative which supports parents, babies & children in Malawi through the provision of baby massage/massage training, foster care & micro loans. She visits Malawi twice a year to provide free training to medical staff and to ensure all Little Blossoms projects are running smoothly.
Gayle created Blossom & Berry’s unique baby massage and yoga courses combining massage, movement and music to increase the enjoyment of massage/yoga sessions and aid baby’s development through a complete sensory experience. Gayle’s expert knowledge led to her publishing her book “Baby Massage-Expert Know-how at your fingertips” which has sold copies across the world. Gayle has also won and been nominated for a number of awards and was highly commended as business parent of the year by mums and working awards.
