About Us
At By Freya Infant Hydrotherapy, we believe every baby deserves a gentle start in life. Our spa was created to provide families with a nurturing space where little ones can relax, grow, and thrive through the benefits of warm-water hydrotherapy and soothing massage.
Our sessions are designed exclusively for infants, combining safe, supportive water play with calming touch to promote sleep, digestion, muscle development, and parent–child bonding. Whether you visit for a single session, join us for a term package, or learn baby massage in a class, our focus is always on creating positive experiences for both baby and parent.
We know stepping into something new can feel daunting, which is why safety and care are at the heart of everything we do. From certified infant neck floats and medical-grade equipment to trained staff guiding each session, your baby is always in safe hands.
More than a spa, we’re a supportive community for parents. Our calm, welcoming space is designed to help you slow down, enjoy special moments with your baby, and connect with other families on the same journey.

Meet the face behind By Freya Infant Wellness! Karly, a born-and-bred Ballarat girl and proud mum to Freya.
When my daughter was a newborn, I took her to a baby spa and saw first-hand the incredible benefits of infant hydrotherapy — from better sleep to deep relaxation and gentle physical development. The only problem? There was nothing like it available locally. And for anyone who’s experienced a two-hour car trip with a newborn, you’ll know it’s quite the challenge. That’s when I knew I wanted to create something special for Ballarat families.
Inspired by my daughter, By Freya is both her namesake and as her gift to other little ones in our community. Every baby who visits gets to experience the same calming, nurturing start that she did — right here in Ballarat.
Along with my personal journey as a mum, I am also a qualified Paediatric Massage Consultant. My passion is helping parents feel confident, connected, and supported as they bond with their babies in those all-important early months.
My vision for By Freya is simple: to create a safe, welcoming space where parents can slow down, babies can thrive, and families can make beautiful memories together.
