Taking Baby Steps

The next Peer Support Group will be Wednesday 15th April, 7.30pm-9pm.
The group is open to parents, grandparents, healthcare professionals, and anyone who has been affected by birth trauma. This may be a loss, birth injury, a difficult pregnancy or postpartum experience, or challenges related to subsequent fertility.
Our aim is to offer a safe, open and gentle space to provide ongoing support for those affected by the above, which can be incredibly isolating.
Please email admin@takingbabysteps.co.uk for more information and to let us know you are coming. Free sessions.

"I just wanted to get in touch to say a huge thank you for all your amazing help and support via Taking Baby Steps. In those first few weeks post birth, I feared I would be plagued by birth trauma for the rest of my life. But wow, a few sessions with you and I can now look back and (almost) smile at the good parts and acknowledge that, whilst the bad parts happened, they do not define the magic of my special boy arriving and I am stronger than the fear that surrounds that experience. I will forever be grateful for your kindness, compassion and expertise in helping me through it."
Please get in touch if you feel you would like some support with Perinatal Trauma. Both face to face and online appointments available.

A huge thank you to and for designing and selling candles prior to Christmas. This was in memory of much loved 'Bodhi-River' and raised over £1000 for Taking Baby Steps. It means so much when people take the time to fundraise and every penny of this will go to support other families who have sadly lost their baby.
