ABOUT ME

Many parents have no idea how to grow their confidence at parenting their new baby. I wanted to create a small business to offer parents tools to grow their confidence. Great Sky Babies is a “passion project” because it’s my way I can help moms and dads learn what their baby is communicating. Touch is the first way a baby communicates with the world. I got trained as an educator to parents so I could teach parents about infant massage. I received my training from the International Association of Infant Massage because it offered a program that was simple, natural, repeatable and quick for parents to learn and incorporate in their daily routines.

So, how did I get introduced to infant massage? I had my first son in England 16 years ago. When he was 6 weeks old I enrolled us in a baby massage class at the local community center. That one hour a week for six weeks was magical because it helped me focus on him, what he liked and how to read his cues. I continued to use variation of these strokes with my three other children (including twins).

I know life is equally busy when you are a mother and working or you are head of your household & raising children 24 hours a day. I have done both! At times you may feel depleted, guilty, out-numbered, stuck on the “sick carousel” or feel like you are not doing good enough. A baby massage class is a healthy way to work through these feelings and gain more confidence as a parent that you are doing the best you can at this time in your parenting journey. Your children will be grateful for you introducing massage into their lives.

I moved with my family to Cherokee County, Georgia in the summer of 2024. My local area did not have any infant massage classes available for parents. This spurred me to follow my hidden passion and start Great Sky Babies! I received training from the International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM).

So what do I do besides teach infant massage? I work as an IT project and product manager. For almost three decades I have been helping companies around the world implement software solutions and enhancements. I have an undergraduate degree from Florida Atlantic University where I majored in finance. Before I was 25 I earned my MBA from the University of Miami specializing in e-commerce and marketing. I’ve also dabbled in teaching swimming to babies, children, and adults. I love to travel and try new things. I make it my priority to feed my spiritual health along with maintaining good physical health. I am vegetarian but cook healthy meat dishes for friends and family.

I feel so uplifted when I am helping parents dedicate time nurturing their infants.

Your baby is your teacher. You are learning to be their expert.

I look forward to supporting you in this journey.
