Meet Kirstie Mackintosh, Founder & Mum
My dream for Little Legs was to create an environment where parents, carers, babies, toddlers and children can feel fully relaxed allowing them to engage fully and enable an opportunity to form a deeper bond, and enjoy the company of other parents and children forming life long friendships - as they talk about the ups and downs of parenthood and life in a non-judgemental way, with lots of laughs along the way. My own experiences helped shape the way for Little Legs.
If someone had told me when I was in the throes of my postnatal depression that one day I’d be running a business to support and encourage others going through the same challenges, I would have not have believed them.
Following that tough period of my life, I realised I wanted to do something to help people going through something similar. One of the positives from having PND came in the form of developing an affinity with anyone going through not only the same condition, but any kind of mental health issues.
To cut a long story short, I was able to get my health back on track through a combination of medical support, the patience and understanding of those around me and … doing baby yoga and baby massage with my own children.
