About Gentle Hands Baby Massage
Gentle Hands Baby Massage is a nurturing space created to support families during the early months of parenthood. My name is Charlotte. I am a mother of two, a wife, and an Internationally Certified Infant Massage Instructor living along the Mornington Peninsula. My work is guided by a deep passion for helping parents understand their babies through touch, presence, and connection.
I believe that the bond formed in the early months becomes the foundation for lifelong attachment, emotional wellbeing, and trust. Through my five week baby massage course, I teach gentle, soothing techniques that calm the nervous system, ease common discomforts such as wind, colic, and constipation, support sleep, and reduce stress for both parent and baby. The classes are baby led, giving you space to follow your baby’s cues and move at a pace that feels comfortable. I always demonstrate each stroke on my baby doll, and only parents massage their own baby, creating a safe and respectful learning environment.
Across the course you will learn to massage each part of your baby’s body, leading to a complete full body routine by the final week. Every family receives a complimentary bottle of cold pressed organic baby massage oil to continue the practice at home, helping you build confidence and a meaningful daily routine.
I am committed to supporting mothers, fathers, and caregivers in a way that feels gentle, grounded, and real. After each class, families are invited to stay for homemade cake and refreshments. This time offers a warm space to relax, share experiences, and connect with others who understand the joys and challenges of early parenthood.
Our classes offer more than skills. It is a place of community, calm, and connection, where you and your baby are welcomed and supported.

I Felt Like a Failure at Breastfeeding
I wasn’t prepared for how hard breastfeeding would be. Because it’s “natural”, I assumed it would be easy. And I knew the health benefits, so I set really high expectations for myself. But I struggled - with all of my 4 children. I remember thinking: If breastfeeding is so important for mums and babies, why isn’t there more support?
