Alex Wooder
Baby Massage Instructor
Hello, my name is Alex and I am the baby massage instructor here at The Little Bears Company. I first became interested in baby massage following the birth of my first child. I had read about the many benefits for both mum and baby and made massage part of our evening routine, which helped promote sleep, relieve symptoms of colic and enhanced the mother-baby bond.
​
It was when I was pregnant with my second child that I decided to train to be a baby massage instructor so I could teach parents the same valuable skills I learned.
​
As well as being a qualified baby massage instructor, I am additionally a primary school teacher.
