Patsy Anderson - My career background is in Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting which provides me with a wealth of experience[over 25 yrs!] in promoting health, working with families and supporting parents with their babies. I have always had an active interest in complimentary therapies and have endeavored to work holistically throughout my career encouraging holistic solutions for the wellbeing of my clients in the increasing pressures of working and living.

I qualified as an Instructor of Baby Massage in February 2000 - my trainer was Mia Elmsater from Sweden, a founder of the International Association of Infant Massage. In March 2003 I gave up my job in the N.H.S. as a Health Visitor and started up my business in supporting parents through Baby Massage. I am committed to helping parents learn interactive communication with their babies through positive loving touch.

In 2004 I also qualified to teach the M.I.S.P.[Massage in Schools Programme].This is directed to the 4 to 12 years age group,where the instructor works with the class in their own classroom with aid of teacher.This can be tailored to special needs. The purpose of this programme is 'That every child attending school could experience positive and nurturing touch every day...everywhere in the world'.

I have taught many parents from all over Scotland, including; Perth city, Auchterarder, Dunning, St.Andrews, Edinburgh, Abernethy, Newburgh, Errol, Dunblane, Methven, Blairgowrie, Alyth, Meigle, Scone and most of Perthshire.
