Gentle Root Studio

A calm space for parent and baby to connect

Welcome

I'm Juju and I help parents and babies feel safe, connected and confident, through nurturing touch and gentle movement. Whether you're brand new to parenting or simply looking for a calm space to connect, you're welcome here.

Based in East London, Gentle Root Studio offers classes and services in person and online, working closely with families and local communities.

A calm space to connect with your baby through touch. In these small, calm classes, we'll explore gentle massage techniques that support bonding and co-regulation, and help you both feel confident and at ease.

Nurturing touch is one of the first languages a baby understands. In these private, one-on-one sessions, you'll learn gentle, responsive massage techniques that support connection, co-regulation and confidence for both of you.

A little about me

Juju Knee

With a background in neonatal and paediatric care, I've spent years working alongside newborns and their families.

This work led me to start Gentle Root Studio: a calm & safe space where parents and babies can connect, at their own pace, through nurturing touch.

If you'd like to find out more, I'd love to hear from you.
