Hi everyone, Clare here!
I thought it was a good time to introduce myself. I am a Mam to 3 children (Ben, 21, Emily, 13 and Alfred, 11). I have been a Breastfeeding Peer Supporter with Newcastle Breastfeeding Support since 2008 and a Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI) since I trained with the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM) in 2010. I love supporting women with their breastfeeding and teaching families baby massage and was always sad to say goodbye to them at the end of their 5 week baby massage course. I wanted to have a follow on course for families to attend so in 2012 I trained to be a Baby Yoga instructor with Birthlight, this was a natural progression for me as I have practised yoga all of my adult life. As the babies grew the parents asked me to do more training so that they could continue to attend my classes. Over the next few years I trained to teach Baby Yoga for mobile babies and Toddler Yoga with Birthlight, Children's yoga with Calm for Kids and Teen yoga with TeenYoga. I still teach those first baby massage babies in my children's yoga classes at our local primary schools. As well as teaching yoga in primary schools I also teach in local nurseries and pre schools and our local secondary school. I absolutely love my job, helping new parents to communicate with their babies through touch in baby massage and introducing parents and children to the benefits of yoga. Hopefully I will welcome you to one of my classes in the near future. Love and light Clare :) xx
