About Connect Baby
Hi, I’m Vicky, a passionate infant massage instructor, occupational therapist and mum of three, based in Sydney.
With years of experience supporting families and my own journey through the joys and challenges of motherhood, I’m here to help parents feel confident and connected with their little ones.
Through my in-person and online baby massage classes, I guide parents in discovering the incredible power of touch to nurture bonding, soothe discomforts and support their baby’s growth and development.
Whether you’re a first-time parent or navigating life with multiple little ones, my courses will equip you with practical skills and encouragement to guide you on this special journey—all from the comfort of home or in a welcoming group setting.
Let’s connect, learn, and make parenting a little easier, one massage at a time!

Nourished Psychology
I am a psychologist working in the area of maternal mental health and am passionate about helping mothers navigate the ups and downs of motherhood. After becoming a mother myself, I realised what an immense adjustment it is and how mothers need to be better supported.Mothers need to be nourished physically, mentally and emotionally just as much as the babies do.

In many households, the mental and emotional work of managing a family, often called the invisible load, falls disproportionately on mothers. It's not just about doing tasks; it's about carrying the mental checklist: remembering appointments, organising activities, planning meals, and anticipating everyone's needs. Over time, this invisible mental load can lead to resentment, overwhelm, and burnout.
