Who am I
I am Ilse van der Velden. Since 2007 the face behind Babypraktijk ilse
When my baby was born in 2005 I took a baby massage class with him and noticed that I could read my baby and the other babies in the baby massage group. This was mainly because of my work in intellectual disability care.
For 15 years there I researched what their body language was and how their brains processed all the stimuli.
After taking the Babymassage course, I decided that I wanted to share my knowledge and that it made me happy.
Now 18 years on, I have been able to save many parents their search for what their baby wants to tell them. I do this by providing extra guidance at the baby spa, the baby massage course, baby language workshop and the guidance parents need at home.
How good it feels to help you and that I can actually make a difference in the happiness parents experience with their baby. Because when you can read your baby everything becomes so much easier.
I hope to welcome you and your baby to my practice soon and you will find that you will go home with a smile on your face. Happy babies and happy parents. That’s what I do it for. 
Babyspa
Relaxation for you and your baby. Let your baby float in a special Baby Jacuzzi. Little ones love this. In other words, this is the perfect wellness getaway with your baby.
Babymassage
Enjoy together with your child. Through the contact at baby massage, you build a special bond with your baby. It also helps with intestinal cramps and soothes crying babies
Babylanguage
Recognize the crying. Did you know that babies can talk? With their cries they try to make some sense to you. Learn to better understand and care for your baby with the baby language course.
Baby Guide
Why don't I get a manual with my baby? Many questions you may have are: Why does my baby sleep poorly? How do I recognize his signals? In this workshop I will explain all this to you!

If you would prefer a voucher at Ilse’s, that is also possible. Provide the amount and we will put it on the voucher, to be spend at Babypraktijk Ilse.
We also felt very safe in Ilse’s practice during this period of Corona and measures. All measures were thought of, allowing myself and my baby to relax nicely. Very hygienic. Levi thought it was super to float, and especially the baby massage and the clear explanations finished it off. It is definitely worth repeating. Ilse is very knowledgeable and calm herself. You feel completely at ease there.
Both the baby language course and the baby massage course are highly recommended! The baby language course gives you many tips and points to watch out for your baby. This has brought us a lot 
The baby massage course is four weeks long, incredibly fun each week. Together with other mothers and still a wonderful one-on-one moment with your baby. Ilse is very kind and sweet and wants the best for everyone. Unfortunately, the course is now over, but Juul and I enjoyed it. Ilse thank you!
