Hello
I'm Sarah Millist, Founder of Tiny Touch Surrey.
​
I am the mother of 2 girls, Georgia age 11 and Amber age 9. We live in Chertsey with our cat Branston, Dogs Luna, Bonnie, Teddy and Daddy - Chris.
My Story
Starting with a Degree in Drama & Theatre Arts and an attempt to break into Acting, my varied work life, led me to train in lots of areas that interested me, including Baby & Infant Massage and Holistic Massage.
​
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 knew I wanted to dive into the world of Babies & Children, so in 2016 I decided to use my training to set up Courses and Classes for parents and their babies in my local area.
​
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 in a safe and encouraging space. 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 provide support in its truest sense for parents as they transition from pregnancy to parenthood and begin their new journey as a family.
Sarah is trained as a Certified Infant Massage Instructor with the International Association of Infant Massage; an Usui Reiki Practitioner Level 1; a Toddle Talk Sign Language Instructor Level 101 in British Sign Language; a Holistic Massage Instructor with ITEC in Anatomy & Physiology and Business Conduct & Awareness, and a Sleep Support Consultant OCN Level 3 through MANNTA. Most recently Sarah has become an Animal Assisted Wellbeing Practitioner with PAWS and her dogs Luna and Bonnie have become Therapy Dogs, providing animal assisted wellbeing interventions to young people in Surrey.
