Multi Disciplinary Approach
Anouska, FounderParent Baby Spaces was never designed to be built by one person.
No single discipline holds all the answers for a family.
That's why Parent Baby Spaces brings together practitioners, specialists and organisations from across different fields — baby massage, sleep coaching, holistic therapies, child development, neurodiversity support, safeguarding, and more — all working from one shared Framework.
Our village is always growing.
This community takes different shapes depending on how each person or organisation is involved:
Supporting Village — trusted practitioners who support parents directly, outside the parent-and-baby space
Partners — specialists who actively support Recognised Practitioners through training and expertise
Advisory Circle — voices from across the sector who help keep the Framework current and grounded in real practice
Together, they help ensure every family finds the right support, and every practitioner is backed by knowledge that goes beyond their own discipline.
