Hi! I’m so glad you’re here!
I’m Lisa and I’m mummy to Finn and Amelia and founder of Calmer Llama Club. My journey with the ‘four M’s’ as I like to refer to them Massage, Mindfulness, Movement and Meditation began in 2015 when the twins were born. I qualified as an RCM accredited Infant massage instructor, when they were just 6 months old. After attending classes with them and seeing the fantastic benefits it provided for both myself and my babies, I wanted to continue this for the local community in Urmston and surrounding areas in Trafford, Manchester.
After running my postnatal business for nearly 8 years & empowering families once they have birthed their child AND after hearing many birthing stories during my time teaching (I’ve had the pleasure of teaching 150 families up to now) I decided it was time to help empower you, BEFORE your baby arrives so that you have the knowledge & power to make informed choices right from the get go, so that you have the tools & techniques to birth the way that most suits you and your growing family.
I’m a qualified Parent & Birth coach with the incredible Our Baby Club and I’m so proud to be supporting local families from bump to birth and beyond.
Calmer Llama classes offer a blissful haven for expectant and new parents. You'll get all the latest stats based research, plenty of parenting insights and life hacks presented and discussed with you in an honest and unbiased forum. Not to mention a constant supply of delicious home made refreshments and no doubt an array of socials with your newly made gang of friends.
My mission is to guide you along the new journey of parenthood - to make you feel happier, calmer and more empowered!
Qualifications

“Theo and I both absolutely loved this class. Lisa is lovely and welcoming as well as knowledgable about all the different techniques. I miss our weekly catch up and homemade cake on a Friday afternoon.”

“I can't rate this class highly enough, especially if, like me, you're quite a shy parent at heart who worries about 'joining in' at parent and baby groups. Lisa absolutely puts you at ease from the moment you step in the room and it's a great opportunity to meet new friends. The babies seem to love the massage (they sleep for ages afterwards) and the coffee and cake at the end gives us parents such a fab chance to chat, share tips or generally just get stuff off our chests!
The whole class is baby led, which means if your little one cries (check), needs feeding (check) , wees and poos (double check) , you can just get on with seeing to them and nobody bats an eyelid.
If anyone is thinking of a great little entrance into baby classes then please give this one a go. You won't be disappointed! Much love to Lisa and her classes!Our baby llama massage class was a favourite of both mine and Callum’s. The best part of it is, we get to use it every night as part of our bedtime routine. Callum is so relaxed now thanks to YOU ”
