Liz Tipping MGICM MCAR BATT         

I have 27 years experience working as a neonatal nursing sister on a regional Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. My interest in Infant Massage & Complementary Therapies was a natural progression from my involvement with the Developmental Care Group on the unit.

I began teaching on the unit and at local hospitals, and started teaching reflexology at Christie Hospital in Manchester, specialising in pregnancy and working with babies & children.

Now retired from the hospital setting, I live in a small rural community in Wales, where I run Clinical Reflexology and Infant Massage classes for local Family Centres, and continue to lecture and run workshops throughout the UK.

I am also a Qualified Trainer with Touch-Learn International Ltd., with whom I have developed a Neonatal Massage Workshop, and am also a committee member as the Special Needs coordinator for The Guild of Infant and Child Massage.
