Childbirth class in London, England

Pregnancy, birth and postnatal support for the whole family. I am a married mum of three beautiful daughters, Esmé, Maggie and Evie. I live in Bromley, Kent. As well as being a birth and postnatal Doula I also teach Hypnobirthing, as I believe that being relaxed and confident in pregnancy and during labour can help you as a mother have a more gentle experience, wherever and however you choose to birth. As my husband was away for most of my pregnancies my best friend took on the role of Doula for my first birth; although she had no prior experience I felt safe and calm in her presence during the antenatal preparation and at the birth, she was also a huge support to my husband during the birth so that I didn’t have to worry about him worrying about me! The pregnancy and the birth of my twins was totally different, they were diagnosed early on with Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome, I was scanned and monitored throughout the pregnancy, my daughters were born by emergency Caesarean at 36 weeks. Having had these two births, both very different I have seen two very different sides to how birth can be; […]

Birth Support My birth package includes 2 prenatal visits, support during your labour and until you and baby are settled, and a postnatal visit usually within 10 days of the birth. During our prenatal meetings we will discuss your birth options, work on your birth plan, and discuss how we can make your birth a positive, and empowering experience. During the labour I will help you to feel safe and supported, making you comfortable with massage, acupressure or cold compresses, and helping you and your partner advocate for yourselves. I will stay until breastfeeding is established. In the 10 days after the birth I will make 1 postnatal visit, which will give you an opportunity to process the birth and to ask questions about breastfeeding or newborn care. Postnatal Support We will meet prenatally to create a personalised postnatal support plan. Once your baby is born we will schedule visits typically 3 or 4 hours in length. The goal of my work is to nurture you and your family and to give you confidence in your parenting skills: helping you adjust to your new lives as parents, giving you a chance to re-charge, offering guidance on newborn cues, supporting you […]

PREGNANCY YOGA every SATURDAY @ 12:30 Prenatal yoga is a style designed for the physical and emotional needs of Mums-to-be. It is a wonderful way to stay active during your pregnancy and is complementary to your existing yoga practice, if you have one.

As well as yoga postures, you will learn useful birthing positions, helpful breathing meditations, visualisations and pelvic floor exercises.

I support ALL choices whether you are planning a home birth, hospital birth or caesarean and provide you and your birth partner with up to date evidence-based information, so that you can leave fully prepared. Learning how competent and incredible your body is can help you feel confident and relaxed through the stages of birth. Our aim is to make you feel positive about birth and labour, empowering you with knowledge and confidence on your journey into motherhood!
