Classes offered:

I started my Sing and Sign journey when my girls were babies. It was our favourite mum/baby group and one we both really enjoyed. It wasn’t over stimulating and I loved how engaged they were with it. We also love music and singing so this was the perfect class for us! There is something about singing that nourishes the soul! 

When they started to Sign it was wonderful to see how much they understood and how they could communicate with me. Both my girls signed “more” as their very first sign. Which is it not too uncommon, because baby realises they can get more of what they want, more cuddles, more of their favourite food. 

I am now in my third year of teaching Baby Sing and Sign, which is truly rewarding and a joy. I am interested in child/baby development and any concept which further supports learning and communication. 

The Sing and Sing approach is teaching the parents to communicate with their preverbal babies, through baby sign. Babies instinctively gesture and we are giving them additional gestures, as means of communication, which helps to avoid frustration and upset. The key is to consistently sign at home with baby, during their routines. The repetition in context, supports their understanding of the signs. In class parents/carers learn the signs and babies just enjoy the songs and social aspect. 

We teach through nursery Rhymes and music, because not only are these great fun, but these really help to stimulate a baby’s language development, memory and attention skills. 

When we are signing to baby, we always keep it simple by signing one word per sentence and we always say the word as we sign it. We are encouraging speech, instead of replacing it. 

It is really special to be part of other mum’s/baby’s Sing and Sign journey; seeing many come back and repeat terms with me and watch the little ones develop and grow through each term. It never ceases to excite me when they sign in class or I hear about how they sign at home. 

I look forward to welcoming you and your baby to my classes!

This month Sophie and Dr Sunila are focusing on how acupuncture can support us through the hormonal change of the perimenopause and menopause at: ⭕ The Acupuncture Collective 🗓️ 2pm to 8pm - Monday 19th January 📍Moon Women’s Health, 63 Chetwynd Road, NW5 1BX Book via our bio. This is Part 1 of a series focused on hormones - in March’s clinic they'll be looking at hormonal irregularity in our menstruating years. Perimenopause and menopause can be a surprise to many of us. Largely hushed up by our mums, this hormonal shift can creep up without warning. The good news is, that for most of us, once ideas of self-care, nutrition, exercise and HRT options have been given some attention, there’s a very good chance we'll feel better than ever. And guess what? Yes, you’re right, acupuncture is one of the best forms of self-care for women, especially during hormonal turbulence. And what better time to have a health reboot! January of course. In Chinese philosophy, Winter is the most Yin time of the year. Yin is characterised as the passive female principle of the universe, sustaining and associated with earth, dark, and cold. Nature’s energy is low, and so is ours, so TLC is at the top of the agenda. The perimenopausal time of life is when your boat can be severely rocked and it can arrive out of the blue. The symptoms can be slight or debilitating, it's different from person to person. This is because our hormonal balances are unique. Acupuncture can help get to the root cause of symptoms we may experience: ⭕ Hot flushes ⭕ Night sweats ⭕ Vaginal dryness and discomfort during sex ⭕ Difficulty sleeping ⭕ Low mood or anxiety ⭕ Reduced libido ⭕ Problems with memory and concentration ⭕ Backache ⭕ Stiff joints ⭕ Irregular periods Primarily we look at how we can nourish your Kidney energy. In Chinese Medicine, Kidneys are associated with our life battery, bones and attitudes to risk and fear and levels of anxiety. By balancing this meridian, we can help calm anxiety, night sweats, and hot flushes, helping bring more restful sleep. There's a good chance your sex drive will get a boost at the same time too!
