About Julie Cuthbertson

Welcome to TinyTouch, my name is Julie Cuthbertson. I am a Mother and qualified as an early years child care practitioner in 1994.

I have over 15 years experience working with children in various environments and plenty of relevant qualifications!

I became interested in baby massage in 2007 shortly after the birth of my son, Archie. He developed colic at a very early stage in his development which caused both him and myself a great deal of upset. Not to mention the sleepless nights ! Nothing could have prepared me for this and I became increasingly frustrated with the situation as I felt I was unable to soothe, comfort and settle my precious little boy.

I was offered any amount of advice from friends and family who recommended various solutions and over the counter remedies. As a result of this I tried many colic gripe waters but to no avail. However, during and early home visit by my Health Visitor she recommended that I try the Colic Routine as used by the IAIM. Eureka! The transformation in Archie was overwhelming. Baby massage both soothed and comforted him from the onset and on occasions completely relieved his symptoms. (Thank You Lisa!)

When Archie was 9 weeks old I also attended a local Baby Yoga course where I met other dedicated Baby Yoga and Baby Massage professionals. Their passion and drive was infectious and this coupled with the obvious benefits to both parent and child provided me with the initial ideas for a new challenge. I subsequently trained as a certified infant massage instructor in 2008 and qualified in 2009. My passion, enthusiasm and belief in the benefits of both massage and yoga has grown since then. I thrive on teaching and encourage an informal, relaxed and fun class environment.

I really hope that TinyTouch can support and empower you. My classes are designed to nurture your baby\'s development, and are a brilliant way to meet other parents and spend special time with your baby.
