Welcome to Carinho

I am Sheila Aarts. I originally come from Scotland and now live in Hilversum with my husband and our two children.

As a midwife and paediatric nurse I am very much aware of the importance of family. After becoming a teacher for babymassge I realised that I want to do more for parents with young baby's. I now work as a maternity nurse and coach mothers and their partners through their first week of parenthood. I combine this work with Carinho. Carinho is my own practice where I offer coaching and babymassage for my clients. Babymassage is a perfect way to deepen the band you already have with your child and the combination of massage and a long talk very often solves a lot of (potential) problems.

Babymassage

I offer babymassage in the comfort of your own home. Small groups are also possible as long as I can give everybody the individual attention they deserve. Fathers, and partners, also find that massaging their baby gives them a deeper understanding of their child's needs. Massage is not a luxury. Our children have a basic need to be emotionaly nurished. That way they can grow up feeling safe, loved and respected.
There can be times, however, when a mother and her child have difficulty in bonding with each other. Possible reasons for this can be a post-natal depression, a handicap or simply because her baby has been born prematurely. Massage helps build her confidence while reassuring her baby.
But most of all, babymassage is fun and a great way to relax and spent some quality time with your baby.

Early detection of problems

I have been trained to observe baby's in such a way that I can detect possible problems that may have arisen from the pregnancy, delivery or in the first few weeks after the birth. I can give advise as to where the necessary help can be given.

Massage oils

I use only pure natural oils of a very high quality.

Parental Coaching

It is a tendency for parents to look for answers on the internet but so much information can be confusing. Individual advise on a particular problem is often a much better approach. By taking the time to listen and to observe I can help parents solve the problem themselves by making them realize what their capabilities are. The answer is very simple: follow your intuition.
