Alan Heath is a consulting child psychologist and author. Along with nurse and health visitor Nicki Bainbridge, he ran Healthy Start Clinics in South London, helping parents soothe the struggles of early childhood through positive touch. Their book Baby Massage: The Calming Power of Touch teaches the same techniques they used in their clinical practice.

Pediatric nurse Nicki Bainbridge is the coauthor, with Dr. Alan Heath, of Baby Massage: The Calming Power of Touch, which contains massage techniques they developed at their sleep and crying clinics in London.

Since the 1980s, she has been training and certifying infant massage instructors, from her home base in the United States to countries across Europe, Asia, and even Australia. Moore also runs a retail store, EcoBaby Gear, with her son Brent Sagnotti. They carry environmentally friendly baby products for earth-conscious families.
