About Me

Hi, I'm Laura, and I'm the proud mother of two fast growing boys. My background evolved from working in nurseries for over 10 years, but when I gave birth to my first son 'Guy' I knew I wanted to embrace a new career and work with children in a different way.

After completing an Infant Massage Diploma in September 2014, I began teaching classes locally soon after. Just before the birth of my 2nd son 'Finn', I began teaching weekly sessions at various baby friendly venues across Northumberland, Cumbria and the North West.

Expanding my training in 2017, I completed an Infant Yoga Diploma & Toddler Yoga Diploma, and In 2018 undertaking 200 hours of Yoga Therapeutics Training studying Vinyasa Flow Yoga. Realizing my true passion for baby massage, I began combining my knowledge of baby yoga and incorporated a number of movements into my baby massage classes.

Relocating to Scotland in 2019, and having to temporarily pause classes during  lockdown, this allowed time for reflection whilst also being lucky enough to secure a position at a local outdoor nursery. I have fallen in love with the outdoors, witnessing children learn through play in the most holistic environment. 

In 2023, after becoming interested in how reflexes affect children's learning and behavior, I trained in a rhythmic movement course in order to fully understand the importance of reflex integration and how this might affect children that I see in my day to day work. Reigniting my passion for supporting new parents, courses are up and running for 2024 and I'm looking forward to welcoming a whole new generation of parents and their new born children.

Fully SSSC registered, with a valid Disclosure Scotland and certificates covering Paediatric First Aid and Child protection, my ultimate goal is to allow parents to experience time out with their baby in order to connect and relax with each other. For parents who prefer a more intimate class, I also offer one to one and group sessions in your home or locally selected venues.

Mollycoddle Massage strives to create unforgettable experiences that you can share with your baby in the precious early months in order to benefit key early development, physically, mentally and emotionally.
