Hi,
I’m Anne!

I specialise in helping parents and carers like you to reclaim their authentic, heart and soulful connection with their baby & child a connection which you both deserve.

we need to learn on the job so let's make the best of this
wonderful opportunity!"

What is Baby Body Language?

  • It Starts Early & In The Womb

    Baby Body Language (BBL) is about understanding baby’s life in the womb and how very early life experiences can develop and influence their early years.

  • Impacts on Pattern Development

    Early imprints, or experiences, can leave subtle patterns in a child’s alignment that can impact balance, focus, sleep, speech & language and emotional development.

  • Connection Between Mind & Body

    Understanding BBL is about understanding the imprints from your early experience and how they are communicated through your body language and behaviour.

My years of lifelong learning and hands-on experience with families have allowed me to help every parent I have worked with to reach a deeper connection with their baby and child. By learning how to read and interpret your baby & older child’s Baby Body Language - a parent and baby can mend and heal from traumatic disconnects and wounds.

Watch the author Anne Mathews go into detail about her book and what you can expect from it. I must see to get to know the author and her book.

  • We love Dr Anne Matthews, she is the nicest person we've ever came across with and is very professional.We see improvements after every session and understand our baby a little more each time. I took both my children to her and honestly couldn't have find anyone better to help them. She listens not just to the babies but to us mums too.

  • I found Dr. Anne extremely professional and welcoming. We took our son’s for treatment and the difference in their health, movement and behaviour has been amazing. I would highly recommend Dr. Anne to anyone.

  • What an amazing read! I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who is looking after or caring for kids. So much insight and knowledge from the author. Really interesting stuff. Thanks.

    Andrew McFeeters

  • This book is in a class of its own and is written in language that all can understand. Intended for parents as well as those working with infants and young children - it truly hits the mark and goes beyond. Thank you Anne Matthews

    T. Gordon

  • This is the book I wish I had read many years ago. If we understood our conception, pregnancy, birth & early childhood years better there would be so much better health in this world. This book is an empathic and sensitive explanation of what our children hold in their bodies, the impact it can have and how to begin the journey to resolve it. It is easy to read both as a parent and a professional.

  • My daughter was born with alot of tension and would not latch correctly or lay on her back without being uncomfortable. We seen Anne and over a few appointments our baby is feeding great and more comfortable and moving freely. Anne creates a calming atmosphere and is full of wealth of knowledge and advice and has such a gentle approach when helping our daughter. I highly recommend.
