About Bee Happy Babies

Clinical Expertise. Compassionate Care. Evidence-Based Education.

Bee Happy Babies was founded by a paediatric physiotherapist and an anatomy and physiology lecturer with a shared passion for supporting babies, parents and professionals during the earliest and most formative stages of life.

Our work is rooted in clinical practice, infant development science and the power of responsive, nurturing touch.

Why We Exist

Infant massage is often taught as a general wellbeing or complementary therapy skill.

However, professionals working in health and community settings require something more:

• Clear safety guidance

• Clinical reasoning

• Evidence-based teaching

• An understanding of infant cues, development and regulation

• Confidence to work with families sensitively and professionally

Bee Happy Babies was created to meet that need.

What Makes Us Different

Designed for Health Care Professionals by Health Care Professionals

Our courses are specifically designed for qualified and trainee health care professionals, including:

  • Paediatric & adult physiotherapists

  • Midwives & health visitors

  • Occupational therapists

  • Early years practitioners in health-linked settings

  • Family and community health workers

  • Complementary practitioners (including acupuncturists, osteopaths)

We do not offer hobby-based or generic instructor training.

Our focus is clinical relevance, safety and professional application.
