💫 Create your own massage oil to use during pregnancy or labour with us 🌿 ..
Choose uplifting scents to energise you, calming scents to help you relax, or simply oils you love the smell of.
Blending your own oil makes it personal, comforting, and ready to support you when you need it most 🧘🏻♀️
Some benefits of aromatherapy for labour:
🌸 Encourages relaxation and reduces tension.
🍋 Can help lower stress and anxiety.
🍊 Supports steady breathing and focus.
🍃 May ease discomfort when combined with massage.
🧘🏻♀️ Creates a calm, positive birth environment.
👨 Helps your birth partner feel involved and confident.
A small bottle, a familiar scent, and a calming touch can make a big difference on the day 🍃 ❤️

Welcome to Simply Birth by Anna, easy to process antenatal classess performed by myself, a practicing midwife with over a decade of experience in pregnancy, birth and the immediate postnatal.
My classess aim to be simplistic, focusing on your physical and psychological preparation for labour and birth. Together, we will explore stages of labour, coping aids, ideal positions for labour and birth, relaxation, massage and breathing techniques and how to embrace those first few hours and days with your newborn, all whilst meeting local couples from the Leeds and Wakefield area.
My classes will cover all aspects of your pregnancy and labour regardless of your defined risk in pregnancy or how many babies you have previously had along with a strong focus on how birth partners can support you throughout your journey of labour and birth.
Small in group numbers, the absolute aim and desire for these classes are to enable and empower you to have the best possible birth experience feeling strong, confident, knowledgable and in control of your birth, all based on the most up to the moment evidence based literature.
I am so excited to share with you my enthusiasm and love of birth, and to be a part of your incredible journey to meet your little one!
