From Colic to Giggles: How Sandra of Northcote Baby Helps Babies Settle and Parents Feel Confident
Parents/Carers looking for a calm, supportive, and enriching experience for themselves and their babies? Come and meet Sandra Pearce, of Northcote Baby. Sandra has been running highly regarded Baby Massage and Baby Yoga classes across Clapham and SW London since 2010 and is widely known for her warmth, experience, and reassuring approach.
Sandra is a fully qualified IAIM (International Association of Infant Massage) Instructor and a Birthlight Baby Yoga Instructor. She has also trained in postnatal depression support and has helped many women over the years using Baby Massage as a gentle and nurturing tool during a challenging time of early parenthood.
Baby Massage
Sandra’s Baby Massage course is ideal for new parents who want practical, confidence-building techniques to help soothe their baby while deepening their bond. Classes take place in a relaxed, welcoming environment where parents are encouraged to take things at their own pace — and where everything, including tears, is completely normal.
Over the six-week course, parents learn massage techniques designed to help with common baby concerns such as colic, reflux, and digestive discomfort. There is a strong focus on settling babies during the often-dreaded “witching hours”, as well as guidance on winding and easing trapped wind. Parents are also shown gentle ways to calm an overtired baby who is struggling to settle.
The techniques taught are practical, reassuring, and genuinely invaluable. As the course is suitable from birth, parents can begin supporting their baby from the very start. Feedback from families has been overwhelmingly positive, with many parents returning to take additional courses with Sandra.
Baby Yoga
Sandra’s Baby Yoga classes are designed for older babies (3.5 months and up) and offer a fun, lively alternative to traditional mother-and-baby yoga. These sessions are dynamic, playful, and filled with songs, movement, and laughter.
The class follows a full-body routine that helps strengthen babies’ neck, back, and legs, while encouraging coordination and body awareness. Parents and babies enjoy learning fun movements such as baby cartwheels, baby handstands, and the popular rocking chair. The upbeat atmosphere and shared giggles make this class a firm favourite.
New Venue & Social Focus
Sandra is now running her classes at 65 Webbs Road, SW11 6SD, with a refreshed format that includes valuable social time for parents and carers.
Her “Baby Massage and Coffee/Tea/Treats” course runs for six weeks from Thursday 5 February to Thursday 19 March, 10:45–11:45am. Each session includes 30 minutes of Baby Massage instruction, followed by 30 minutes to relax, enjoy refreshments, and connect with other parents in a baby-friendly setting.
