Justina Perry
My passion is supporting women on their journey from pregnancy and through the early stages of motherhood. I have been teaching pregnancy yoga, postnatal yoga, baby massage and baby yoga classes in the Hitchin & Letchworth area for the last 17 years. I also specialise in pregnancy massage for mothers and postnatal massage treatments for mums.
The Sadie Centre
I run my classes and workshops in partnership with The Sadie Centre, a leading holistic wellbeing centre located between Hitchin and Letchworth. There is plenty of free on-site parking and you can bring your buggies and car seats in the space. There is also a lovely cafe where you can gather with friends before and after the class.

There is time to chat, plus gentle postnatal yoga stretches and a relaxation at the end where I look after the babies!

A little about me
I’m the mother of two beautiful girls and founder of MamaBabyBliss. After the birth of my first daughter, Natasha, I suffered from postnatal depression. When my second daughter, Alana, was born, I was made redundant and set up MamaBabyBliss to help nurture and support mothers and their babies on their journey through motherhood. I have been teaching for over a decade and am very proud to have been featured on TV, radio and the Huffington Post and have collaborated as an expert with organisations such as such as Mothercare, Pampers, Mamas & Papas and the NHS.
Testimonials
“During lockdown your classes were the only ones I did because yours was the only class where it wasn’t about the baby needing to look at the screen but about me bonding and engaging with Isabella.”

It’s at a set time on a Tuesday which we look forward to and we had a nice time to bond and show my partner the techniques after! (Baby Massage)

Emily & Freya
I’ve recently completed the Baby Massage course with my son, and I highly recommend it. Not only was it a great place to meet other new mums, I also learned lots of techniques to massage and calm and my son. The surroundings were comfortable, and we were provided with everything we needed for the course. It was interesting to learn the effects of massaging different areas of my baby’s body and I’ve included the massage as part of his bedtime routine. The instructor, Justina, is both lovely and knowledgable, she made us all feel very welcome and took a real interest in how we were all getting on with our little ones. Thanks Justina!
Lisa & Sebastian
My baby and I just completed the baby massage course with Justina. I really enjoyed the whole process and found my baby responded very well – he was often very sleepy following the sessions and definitely seemed relaxed in the classes. The techniques are easy to follow and apply at home, and I found incorporating massage into my baby’s daily routine was a lovely opportunity to bond with him each evening. Justina was warm, friendly, and fun, and she was keen to make sure that in addition to teaching the techniques in sessions, we as mums were able to use the space to discuss our experiences and feel supported. Would definitely recommend.
Lauren & Adam
I started a baby massage course with Justina when my baby was just coming up to 7 weeks old and I was really struggling to leave the house. Signing up to the class was a great way for me to force myself to get up and out and Justina was so welcoming and lovely. The baby massage itself was great but the sessions were so much more than that. It was a time to discuss any issues we were having and it made me realise I wasn’t the only one struggling with things. Plus we were spoiled with biscuits and cake every week so there’s an added bonus! Thanks Justina.
Lauren & Daisy
I completed the baby massage course with Justina. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I really looked forward to our sessions each week. The course is very well structured, building up different techniques week by week including songs that you can use when massaging your baby. Every session provides informations helping understand why the particular massage will help. It is a time for you and your baby in a calm and safe enviroment. The techniques I learnt have been incorporated into my daughter’s daily routine. Justina is fantastic teacher, makes you feel welcome and she is always happy to answer questions or worries you have. Thank you Justina!
Ewa & Sofia
Justina ran a fantastic course that not only taught me ways to bond with my baby thorough massage and song, but also useful tools to ease his digestion, help sleep (and boy did my baby sleep!) and keep a happy baby. The course was a great way to make new friends with babies of a similar age, share our journey and be social.
