Melanie Wattles is a Pediatric Massage Therapist and the founder of Baby Strokes. Starting her journey in London, Melanie took a short break to work in Austin, TX and she’s been there ever since. From working in NICU to case management, Melanie has spent the greater part of her career working with babies.
Having her son later in life, Melanie’s boss encouraged her to stay home with her son and enjoy her role as a new mom. Twelve years later, Melanie found herself longing to be back at work–which is why she began Baby Strokes!
Already certified in infant massage, she took to teaching and gradually built her business based on educating parents and healthcare professionals on the benefits of infant massage, which include:
- Bonding & Connection
- Teething Pain Relief
- Decreased Stress
- Tummy Pain Relief
- Growing Pain Relief
- Digestive Support
- Relaxation, etc.
Currently, Melanie is balancing her work and personal life to push forward with her business. From Zoom training to in-home classes and everything in-between, Melanie is slowly but surely scaling and spreading the news about infant massage!
