Calming Little Feet Mission Statement
It is the mission of Calming Little Feet to connect parents with each other. This is facilitated through my parent classes that are run in a safe and non judgmental environment. My aim is to provide a great experience for both parent and baby while gaining some knowledge through my own experience as a paediatric nurse and mum to 4 children.
About Me
Vanessa Kilcullen
My name is Vanessa and I am mammy to 4 beautiful children; Hayley (12) Sadie (8) Sienna (5) and Callum (2). I had attended 2 baby massage classes myself when Sienna and Callum were only a couple of months old. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, spending one to one time with my baby and the social aspect of meeting other parents. This is when I began to have a keen interest in teaching baby massage.
Baby massage is a lovely way to meet other babies and educate parents of the importance of touch for their infant to help development. I have 10+ years experience as a paediatric nurse working with babies and children in Irelands largest children’s hospital. I understand the importance of bonding and developing relationships with your infant, especially in a clinical setting.
My aim is to provide a safe and welcoming environment for parents and babies to connect and bond. I hope to provide a support network among parents and provide a nurturing environment for infants. In my current role as a nurse specialist, I thoroughly enjoy educating parents and children which I hope to bring to my baby massage classes.

Benefits of baby massage
Benefits of baby massage include bonding; massage encourages positive bonding between parent and baby. Massage can help parents to become more confident with handling your baby and better at recognising his/her needs.
Baby massage encourages parents to identify their baby’s individualities thus in return their needs.
Baby massage is known to have several physiological benefits for your baby such as stimulating the many systems of the body such as the skin, digestive system, nervous and respiratory systems.
Baby massage can speed up a baby’s development, help them to gain weight and enable their digestive system to function more efficiently, thus easing pains and aiding in therelief of colic and constipation.
Baby massage is calming on the nervous system and raises the levelsof oxytocin (the feel-good hormone) in both baby and parent, helping both feel calmer and relaxed.
