My early career was varied, starting with a Degree in Drama & Theatre Arts and an attempt to break into Acting.  During the years and may job roles that followed, I trained in lots of areas that interested me, including Baby & Infant Massage and Holistic Massage.  A move to Surrey in 2006 led to a 7-year span in Marketing and a grateful, in-depth understanding of Marketing and Advertising for a Major Cheese Brand.

​

If there’s one thing I learnt from my varied career, it was that I am a people person and I love to talk.  I love all types of people and enjoy adapting my style to suit all personality types.  Never underestimate the power of being able to communicate well with others (especially tricky bosses!)

​

Having moved to Chertsey when I was 7 months pregnant with my first child, I know only too well the importance of making local connections with people who are at the same life-stage as you.  People who share your ups and downs, who you can turn to for support and advice (especially during those never-ending night feeds) and who may even become lifelong friends.  After having my two children, I had a re-think and re-prioritised my direction in life, with parenthood driving me to make a dramatic career change.  I knew that I wanted to dive into the world of Babies & Children, as I have always been clucky over other people’s babies, so in 2016 I decided to use my training to set up Courses and Classes for parents and their babies in my local area and set up Tiny Touch Surrey.

​

Lots of parents come to Tiny Touch to meet other parents and share experiences, others enjoy having “somewhere to be”, a reason to be up and dressed and out of the house.  Some are attracted to learning new skills so they can actively benefit their baby, and there are those that are having a tough start with their baby and feel supported and emotionally lifted by attending classes of this type. Embarking on parenthood can be daunting and sometimes lonely, so I see my purpose and the role of Tiny Touch, as making the start of their new journey as positive, encouraged and informed as I can.

​

My goal is to provide a space where new parents can bond with their baby, while learning skills that will make a real difference to their confidence as a parent.  I aim to become the one-stop-shop in my local area for all things Baby and Toddler, providing a real sense of support for parents as they transition from pregnancy to parenthood and begin their new journey as a family.  And as I continue to expand my portfolio of Classes, the thing that satisfies me more than anything else is making a real difference to people.
