Helen Thompson originally from a farming community in Perthshire, Scotland and since 2016 she has lived in North West Tasmania with her partner Jonathan. Most of her 30 plus years working life have been spent working with both babies and children. She started my career as a childcare educator, where she gained her NNEB qualification in child care.

She first discovered baby massage in 2010 when she was looking for new ways to help babies with the usual typical problems such as sleep, colic and constipation. Baby massage, although not well known in Australia, has been practiced in countries such as India for generations and is almost in their DNA!

There is no better start in life for a baby than a daily massage and there are so many ways in which baby massage can help you and your little ones. 

She has always been an advocate of a healthy lifestyle, encouraging good nutrition and habits and over the years have also trained in various complementary therapies including Brain Gym and Kinesiology.

She has incorporated some of these techniques to further enhance her baby massage classes.

Main Topics of This Episode:

• What is infant massage?
• What are the benefits of infant massage?
• When to use infant massage?

Peter qualified as a PT a decade or so ago after a change in career from project management to personal training. Quickly establishing himself as one of Scotland’s most prolific fitness writers, he has contributed to various national and international magazines. Since qualifying as a Pre- and post-natal exercise specialist, he has become one of Britain’s leading post-partum fitness experts. He has worked with BBC Scotland and various parenting and fitness websites. He started Healthy Postnatal Body (HPNB) in response to emails from post-partum women outside his local Edinburgh area who found that expert and affordable post-partum care was not available in their area. In addition to this, the online exercise programs available were too expensive and didn’t offer any expert support or guidance. Over 80% of women suffer from post-partum health issues that can be healed with the right guidance and exercise. He believes post-natal exercise advice should be affordable, if not free, for all. Pelvic-floor issues, diastasis recti, post-natal back pain, and posture issues are too common and affect many women. It is simply unacceptable for post-natal recovery programs to cost hundreds of £ per year. So, ever since then, he has been banging this particular drum to anyone who would listen and some who wouldn’t 😊

Topics Discussed in this Episode:

• Pelvic Floor Health
• Diastasis Recti
• Women's Health Advocacy
