Hello!

 

My name is Kayleigh, and I'm the founder of Mama & Me. If you're curious about how Mama & Me began and what we offer today, please read on!

On May 23rd, 2020, my life changed when I welcomed my little boy Roman into the world. I instantly felt a pang of loneliness, which was heightened massively due to being in a national lockdown. I struggled with postpartum anxiety and was desperate to feel a bit more back to normal. In between lockdowns, I signed up for every baby group and found the social side was so important for my mental health.

I also found that Roman was becoming quite shy and withdrawn from social situations, which I believe was due to being a lockdown baby. I understand how challenging colic and silent reflux can be. Based on my own experience, I found that baby massage provided significant relief for my son, Roman, during his periods of crying. 

When attending baby groups, I always felt like there wasn't enough time to sit and chat with other mums and really cherish the moment with my baby. I decided I wanted to create luxury baby classes that were designed for both mum and baby.

In December 2020, I signed up for a baby massage and yoga course and qualified in January 2021. Since then, I have taught weekly classes and furthered my qualifications to become a postnatal specialist to provide the best classes and support possible. My further qualifications include: Infant Reflexology, Colic & Reflux Specialist, Baby Gym Teacher, Infant Sleep Consultant and more!

Between 2021 and now, we have taught 1,600 families and counting. I have been lucky enough to welcome midwives Sara and Lucy to our little team to bring classes to Newent, Clearwell, and the Forest of Dean.

Our classes are enriched with sensory lighting, and in every class, we learn a 30-45 minute massage, yoga, and reflexology routine, along with plenty of time before and after to connect with other mums.

Every 5-week term, we also have a themed week – such as Mother's Day or Christmas – with a photo booth to capture memories and a footprint keepsake to cherish.

​

We look forward to meeting you and your little one soon!
