We make training simple and share our experience to help you become a success.

I get emails and calls from lots of people wanting to train to teach baby massage and yoga but they are worried about what if things go wrong and they can’t teach or get clients. Some are concerned about swapping from a full time income to a self employed income. Others believe that they don’t have the skills to do it and some find the thought of jumping into something completely different overwhelming. Alot of people just don’t know where to start and keep putting off the decision to make the change they want to. I help people with all these fears to become successful baby massage and yoga teachers and have more time to spend with their children, doing what they love.

So I just want to say first off, you can totally do it. You have the potential to do anything, you just have to get the right support, community and knowledge and work for it. We understand the challenges, we listen to what you say and hear you. You matter to us.

Our teachers’ success is created through the extensive knowledge in our fully accredited courses but also the magical combination of;

Connection - We got you! The magic happens in connection. Trust me!
Community - Meet your new friends and inspiration.
Coaching & mentoring - Let me support you in achieving your goals.

Our courses have all the resources, support, community & mentorship built into our ongoing “Nurture Package”. You can’t put a price on having an amazing team behind you and being inspired to reach your true potential in your business.

Yes, we are fully accredited…..

We are accredited by the Federation of Holistic Therapists, Complementary Therapists Health Association & the IICT for our baby massage course and the FHT and the IICT for baby yoga.

“The best courses that I have ever done! I loved them. Thank you Gayle for being such an inspiration and for training me so well. I can’t imagine there being better baby massage and yoga training out there. Gayle enriches the training with her amazing knowledge and expertise in baby massage and yoga and makes the training thoroughly of interest to the student. She maintains a really comfortable and stimulating learning environment throughout. The training materials are so well thought out and helpful and Gayle is so very supportive throughout your journey”. Emma Preston,Qualified Midwife, Hypnobirthing Practitioner, & Doula

“As a Pre and Postnatal Yoga teacher, I wanted to extend my teaching to include yoga inspired stretches for babies within my classes. I chose to train in both Baby Massage and Baby Yoga with Blossom and Berry. I cannot recommend these courses highly enough. The teaching was exceptional, Gayle is very passionate about her training and this is demonstrated in the excellent presentation of the course and the resources that you receive. If you are considering training in Baby Massage and Baby Yoga, you will not be disappointed with Blossom and Berry. I continually recommend this course to many of my fellow yoga teachers looking to work with babies.”-Roisin Montgomery-Pre and Post Natal Yoga Teacher, Apple Yoga

I would recommend Blossom and Berry Baby Massage and Yoga Training with Mel to anyone! I left the weekend feeling so empowered and uplifted." Natalie Krishnan - Primary School Teacher

We are experts in baby massage teacher training and helping to empower you to start your own business. I have been training students for over 17 years and its my absolute joy and passion.

For your training in Dubai, we provide all the materials you need to study with us. You just need a baby demostration doll which we can help you order for the course.

There is nothing in the world I would rather do than teach, train and mentor you.

You are ready to make the changes to create a business and lifestyle that works around your family.
You are excited about taking a new path, learning, growing and expanding.
You are ready to learn about the importance of love and connection for babies and children, about running your own business and self development.
You like connecting with others to share and support each other.
You are prepared to ask for help and what you need to achieve your goals.
You want to learn more than just baby massage and yoga; our courses cover infant mental health and development as well as supporting mothers postnatally.

Let’s be honest you might have mentioned to friends or family that you are thinking about training to teach baby yoga and maybe they have thought that it sounds like a bit of a crazy or out there idea. Maybe they have never heard of baby massage and yoga at all! I can tell you it does raise a few eyebrows when you introduce yourself but it’s benefits are internationally recognised across the world by the health profession and through research and studies. It is not a fad. It is an incredibly powerful way to build secure attachment between parents and babies which is the foundation of infant and adult mental health. Teachers are in demand as organisations such as Unicef and the World Health Organisation recognise the importance of nurturing care for all children globally.

Unicef estimates that 353,000 babies are born each day around the world. That’s a lot of babies needing nurturing touch and love and a lot of parents and babies to teach: 128,845,000 a year!
A recent study by the National Childbirth Trust suggests half of new mothers suffer mental health problems during pregnancy or within the first year of their child’s birth. Education during pregnancy through Blossom & Berry courses on self care, the importance of bonding and practising skin to skin supports new mothers.
Figures from a NSPCC study in 2017 show that the number of children receiving therapy for anxiety has risen by 60 per cent in two years. Babies and children need loving support to thrive. How they interact with their primary caregivers in the first 3 years of life can, simply put, wire their brains for love or for stress. Problems with emotional regulation in early childhood can cause stress and anxiety later in life. Infant massage and yoga teaches responsive care and love from the beginning.
Blossom & Berry are regularly contacted for teacher recommendations by parents from all over the world. We need more teachers to help support parents and babies.
There are waiting lists for baby massage and yoga in many areas and parents and babies are missing out on this vital education due to the lack of availability of classes.

Convinced that your services are needed now or maybe you are worried about the competition?

You can never stop competition and I believe it’s a good thing as it creates choice for parents and babies and allows you to be your own kind of beautiful and attract your own aligned tribe of clients. There is an abundance of parents and babies looking to learn.

No business experience?

I had absolutely none when I first started teaching and created Blossom & Berry and I would say 95% of my students are the same. Nearly all have never had a business and don’t know what to do to great started and to nurture and grow their practice. That’s where our resources and community come in to help you and your business thrive.

The investment in our training is small and low risk. Most students will regain this investment within the first three months of starting their practice and then all your profit is yours. There are not many start up businesses that enable you to be in profit so quickly. Many of our courses are also avaliable by paying by instalments.

To be 100% clear, my courses are amazing quality and value and they are priced to reflect this.

I receive emails and enrolments from students who have trained with other providers who then convert to my courses. This costs them more money than if they trained with me in the first place but the support and ongoing mentorship we offer is priceless.

You are investing in yourself, your family and your business. This will grow sustainably to support you and bring you happiness.

PS I delibrately chose not to become a franchise. I never wanted Blossom & Berry to be a franchise because freedom and creativity are two of my most important values and so my teacher training and business model needed to reflect this. With our training, you can be your own kind of beautiful. We give you the foundations for your training and business and then you can spread your wings and fly. We don’t restrict you in anyway and I love to see all my teachers expressing themselves individually.

“I just wanted to thank you for the last 2 days, I have got so much more from the last 48 hours than I was ever expecting.I feel so privileged to have had your knowledge, mindset and experience all to myself for the last 2 days. I realised I needed the last 48 hours, not just for the amazing training but almost as a mini CEO break, the focus purely on the course, the conversations we have had, and the actual yoga practice has definitely quieten the voices. I feel I have had the first bit of clarity about my busi-ness direction since I started…..After the last 2 days I feel I have the tools within reach, the confidence and the headspace (finally) to take charge of it again and steer it where I want to head.”

If you are not happy with our course, I am not happy.

If you are not confident to teach, it’s my job to make sure that you are.

If you need anything to help you understand the course, I can create it.

Feel more confident? I listen to what you need and I am constantly improving and updating the course materials. That’s my guarantee to you.

This is no ordinary training course! We go way beyond all other training providers to support you and you always have personal contact with me and the Blossom & Berry team. You will learn so much more than just baby massage and yoga….THAT’S A PROMISE!

Because I work so hard to make sure that all my students are happy and have all they need. If you train with us, I will be your teacher and mentor and I take that seriously (which means working long hours and late nights some times!) I have made the jump from a career as a project finance lawyer in the city after studying and training for seven years to become a baby massage and yoga teacher. Do I have any regrets? Absolutely none! So many of my teachers share a similar outlook on life, motherhood and parenting. Running your own family friendly flexible business enables you to be with who you love and doing what you love. Time and experience is so precious. If you are not living a life you love now, it’s time to change that and start now!

Seventeen years of teaching students in person and online around the world means that I know exactly what you need to feel confident when studying to become a teacher. I have also taken extensively training in many subjects such as life coaching, hypnotherapy, doulaship, sleep consultancy and pre/post natal yoga. Blossom & Berry courses draw from all of my trainings and experiences over the years. I know how to make parents and babies happy in classes through creating great resources, learning activities, after course support and even little things like gorgeous playlists for my classes and yummy herbal teas and organic snacks. It all helps to create a nurturing experience where parents and babies feel valued, celebrated and nurtured.

It is so important to me that you love learning with us. Blossom & Berry is not just about getting a qualification; it’s about being inspired, inspiring others, having a full understanding of the needs of parents, babies and children and about making a difference. I believe in investing in people for the future, creating opportunities for happi-ness and in nurturing yourself and others.

My courses are not just about certificates, rather about experiences, memories & relationships.

If you want to learn a bit more about me, have a look around the website, on my blog, social media and also check out my videos on Channel Mum's You Tube Channel talking about my journey to become a baby massage teacher. I am very proud to be Channel Mum’s baby massage expert.
