I’m mum to 3 children who keep me quite busy and have all (and still do) enjoyed the benefits of massage.
I always loved the bonding time with my little ones during baby massage whether it be a full session after a bath or a quick leg massage during a nappy change.
I still use the techniques on my older children to alleviate the symptoms of constipation and when they want to chat about the important things in their lives and sit with me for a massage and cuddle!
As well as being a mum I work as a paediatric nurse and have been doing this since 2006.
I have experience in neonatal care, general paediatrics and currently work in children’s high dependency.
It is a demanding but rewarding job and one of the best aspects is encouraging parent/ child attachment whether it be through assisting with breastfeeding, demonstrating parental skills, giving advice or just keeping an eye on little one so parents/ carers can have a cuppa away from the ward environment and come back refreshed.
We all know it’s not always easy caring for little people and doesn't always come naturally to everyone.
Why Momma Hen? As well as having 3 children I also keep chickens. These are ex commercial girls and I love to be able to offer them a nice retirement. They are easy to look after, a wonderful addition to the garden and also still keep me supplied with beautiful free range eggs daily.
