Me & My Story: 

​

Hi I'm Caz, and welcome to HappyKindCalm. My husband and I have 2 girls and live in Newbury, Berkshire. My main other loves in life are music and animals, especially dogs. This website is to bring together my three "hats" that I do for work, that all have the common theme of happiness, kindness and calmness - whether it's for yourself, your baby or child, or for fun with friends or family.

​

My background is science - I've got a BSc degree in Zoology and worked in medical science for 7 years. 

After having children, I trained to become a baby massage instructor. I love the biological benefits of massage - hearing a baby has slept or poo'd well after massage is just brilliant! But the best part is seeing a baby gaze into his / her parent's eyes, the bonding moments are beautiful. 

Watching my girls grow I wanted to learn more about child development, parenting and coping with life's struggles. So I studied, and continue to study, courses in mental health, anxiety and depression and positive parenting. I trained as a therapeutic emotional and NLP coach. My passion is helping people by empowering them - to guide them to find their own solutions that will last a lifetime. 

​

A great part of well-being is doing things for others, so as a family we decided to become Guide Dog puppy raisers, to support a puppy in their first year of development. Helping with confidence, training and socialising. We created a treasure hunt / escape room style booklet, to sell to people living in or visiting Newbury. This is in aid of Guide Dogs for the Blind Association.
