I’m Rose Rothwell, some of you might know me as Rosie.
I’m the founder of Rosebuds Baby Massage & Wellbeing, based in beautiful East Edinburgh and East Lothian, where I live with my two daughters and husband.
I’ve worked in childcare for over 25 years, starting out in nurseries and running children’s parties, before moving on to after-school and holiday clubs across Edinburgh. But after becoming a mum myself, my focus shifted, from working with children to supporting parents.
Over the last decade, I’ve had the joy of running classes in Baby Massage, Positive Parenting, Weaning, Baby PEEP, and Bookbug. My absolute favourite part of the work I do is watching the beautiful bond grow between parents and their babies, and seeing lasting friendships blossom between the parents themselves.
At Rosebuds, I always aim to create a warm, welcoming space where parents can slow down, connect with their babies through gentle massage, and build their support network. As the saying goes, “it takes a village” , and I truly love being part of that village.
When I’m not running baby massage classes, you’ll find me spending time with family and friends, out on long walks, or cycling around East Lothian.
This relaxed and nurturing course suitable for babies from 6 weeks to pre-crawling, will guide you through gentle massage strokes to help ease teething, encourage relaxation, and strengthen your special bond with your baby.
After each session, you can take your time and enjoy a chat together over a cuppa.
Each course includes:

"I honestly can’t recommend Rose’s baby massage class enough! From the very first session, she made everyone feel so welcome and at ease. Her calm, gentle approach helped me feel confident and really connected with my baby through touch.
Each week was such a lovely mix of relaxation, learning, and meeting other parents. My baby absolutely loved it — and I always left feeling relaxed and reassured.
If you’re thinking about joining, definitely go for it! It’s such a special experience for both you and your little one."
"This has been one of my favourite baby classes! Rose has been a wonderful teacher she is so calm & friendly & put us all at ease each week. The classes included the massage, a few little songs which my baby loved & also getting to know the other mums which felt really nice. We left feeling super relaxed each week. Highly recommend to anyone considering booking.
Thank you so much Rose we will miss your classes they were a highlight of our week!"
