Hi,

What is Baby Body Language?

  • It Starts Early & In The Womb

    Baby Body Language (BBL) is about understanding baby’s life in the womb and how very early life experiences can develop and influence their early years.

  • Impacts on Pattern Development

    Early imprints, or experiences, can leave subtle patterns in a child’s alignment that can impact balance, focus, sleep, speech & language and emotional development.

  • Connection Between Mind & Body

    Understanding BBL is about understanding the imprints from your early experience and how they are communicated through your body language and behaviour.

My years of lifelong learning and hands-on experience with families have allowed me to help every parent I have worked with to reach a deeper connection with their baby and child. By learning how to read and interpret your baby & older child’s Baby Body Language - a parent and baby can mend and heal from traumatic disconnects and wounds.

  • What an amazing read! I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who is looking after or caring for kids. So much insight and knowledge from the author. Really interesting stuff. Thanks.

    Andrew McFeeters

  • This book is in a class of its own and is written in language that all can understand. Intended for parents as well as those working with infants and young children - it truly hits the mark and goes beyond. Thank you Anne Matthews

    T. Gordon

  • This is the book I wish I had read many years ago. If we understood our conception, pregnancy, birth & early childhood years better there would be so much better health in this world. This book is an empathic and sensitive explanation of what our children hold in their bodies, the impact it can have and how to begin the journey to resolve it. It is easy to read both as a parent and a professional.

  • This book is an empathic and sensitive explanation of what our children hold in their bodies, the impact it can have and how to begin the journey to resolve it. It is easy to read both as a parent and a professional. Anne's writing style is warm, easy to understand and the whole book is so hopeful about the change we can evoke when we really embrace listening & connection. Worth every penny.
