I found Anna's course to be a lovely bonding experience for my younger daughter and I. I enjoyed the structure of the classes and Anna was great at explaining what we were doing and why eg: connecting the right hand to the left foot helps connect fibres in the brain. I found her to be a fabulous teacher and my daughter still really enjoys the massages!
I took Sam to a 5 week course with Lazy Daisy when he was 4 months old and we had a great time. Anna creates a brilliant ambiance in the class by doing songs and nursery rhymes for the mum’s and children to sing along to together and you feel a real connection with your baby. Anna herself is great! She’s friendly, approachable and really interested in the babies; she even gave me some useful techniques to use at home. Anna also sets some time aside for some mums relaxation which was very thoughtful and much appreciated.
My daughter and I have just completed our 6 week baby massage course with Anna in Tunbridge Wells. It was absolutely brilliant and I really looked forward to it every week. The atmosphere in the group was lovely and Anna really made everyone feel calm and relaxed. It was also nice to meet and speak with other news mums.
The massage section of the session was lovely and is now part of my daughters routine each night. The sessions provided a great bonding experience, especially at the end of the session where you have time just to concentrate on you and your baby and really relax. My daughter seemed to have relaxed so much at the end of the sessions that she would usually fall asleep before we had even left the building!
The entire experience was great and I cannot wait to start the Wrigglers course in a couple of weeks.
We've just finished our first term of the Wrigglers class with Anna running it. Really good introduction to taking my little one (14 weeks) along to such sessions. I have to admit I was nervous to begin with as did not know how well she would take to it. But the way they were ran meant that she enjoyed it right from the first session with very few tears shed across all 6 sessions. Highly recommend Anna and what the sessions provide!

I have had a professional career as a Speech and Language Therapist for twenty years, but after having my own children I felt inspired to take a change of direction. I am passionate about all things pregnancy, birth and baby, and when I discovered the amazing classes offered by Lazy Daisy I knew that was what I wanted to do. I love seeing mums and babies bonding in Daisy Baby class, babies relaxed and often giggling, and mums leaving with confidence. And I think my background in speech, language and communication really enhances what I do now. Daisy Birthing classes really are amazing - if I had had the opportunity to take classes my two birth experiences would have been so different. I'm so lucky to be able to empower other women now.
I did a 6 week baby massage and yoga course with Anna for my youngest child and it was brilliant. Anna has a great way of including everyone in the group and provides a very welcoming environment. She is so relaxed - you never have to feel worried if your baby is a bit stressed out that day. I had previously done a baby massage course for my older child but much preferred Anna's - she is very creative, bringing in props, providing relaxation for the Mums (if possible!) at the end, bells for the babies to listen to and encourages the babies to look at each other. Her classes are great for relaxing and calming for Mums and Babies alike and we have now built baby massage into our everyday routine at home. I think she does a fantastic job and have recommended her to all my pregnant friends.
