About Me

My name is Viviane Kieffer-Schmit.

I am a certified nurse with over 20 years of experience, having worked in various hospital departments, including emergency care for both adults and children. Currently, I work in the Women’s Clinic, specializing in emergency care, outpatient treatments, and diagnostic procedures.

Throughout my career, I have always been passionate about caring for infants, children, and their families. I understand how challenging it can be for parents to see their little ones unwell or struggling. Over the years, I also noticed that many parents felt unheard and unsupported when their babies cried for hours, had trouble sleeping, or experienced emotional distress.

To provide better guidance and support, I pursued additional training in baby massage, emotional first aid, and bonding techniques. These practices allow me to assist new parents in building a secure and loving connection with their babies while also helping children and adults in acute situations.

As a mother of two wonderful sons, I have personally experienced the joys and challenges of parenthood. I truly believe in the power of touch, respect, and emotional connection to support a child’s well-being from infancy to adolescence.

What do I do?

I offer a range of services to help parents and caregivers create a nurturing and supportive environment for their little ones:

Certified Baby Massage Courses – Learn gentle techniques to soothe, bond, and communicate with your baby through touch.
Emotional First Aid & Basic Bonding – Support for parents in understanding and responding to their baby’s emotional needs.
Lectures on Infant Sleep & Crying – Practical guidance on how to support your baby through sleep difficulties and emotional distress.
Workshops "Reading Your Baby" - How does a baby show that they are stressed or uncomfortable? When are they ready for contact and interaction? And how can parents better interpret their baby's body language and respond to it with sensitivity? In this course, parents will learn to consciously perceive and better understand their baby’s signals. Together, they will observe, feel, and experience what their baby needs to feel comfortable and secure.

For whom? Parents with babies aged 0 to 6 months (max. 5 couples: mom and/or dad with baby)

Duration: Two sessions

Course content:

✔ How babies communicate their needs and emotions

✔ Body signals indicating stress and discomfort

✔ Signs of calmness and satisfaction

✔ Practical exercises for perception and sensitivity

Workshop "Baby Stress Management" - Young parents often face the challenge of managing stress, tension, and uncertainty in their daily lives with their baby. This course helps to break negative cycles early on and respond with greater calm and confidence to phases of restlessness and crying.

Duration: 2 x 2 hours (attendance with or without baby possible)

Course content:

✔ Simple body and perception exercises for everyday life

✔ Gentle guidance during phases of restlessness and crying

✔ Gaining confidence in handling challenging situations

Experience how small changes can have a big impact – for your baby and for yourself!

Consultations for Families – Helping parents navigate emotional challenges with their babies, toddlers, and young children.

My goal is to empower parents with knowledge, confidence, and hands-on techniques to support their child’s emotional and physical well-being. Every baby deserves to be seen, heard, and lovingly supported—and every parent deserves to feel confident in their journey.
