✨️✨️✨️ 1 4 Y E A R S ! ✨️✨️✨️

On the evening of the 7th December 2011 I taught my very first Daisy Birthing (as it was called back then) class with 4 lovely pregnant ladies!

I remember feeling so nervous but as soon as the music started playing and I relaxed into the movement and stretching I felt those nerves melting away 💜

Who knew that 14 years later I would still be teaching these classes, alongside all the others I've added along the way, and supported thousands of women to feel confident and empowered through their motherhood journey 🫶

If you have been a part of this I would love you to share your memories or photos in the comments and let me know which year you attended 👇😊

How far back can we go?!

🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊

To celebrate I will be sharing a special GIVEAWAY later!

Lots of piggie fun today! 🐷🐷🐷

Just two more weeks left of the current term before we break for Christmas but bookings are NOW OPEN for the January terms of Tinies and Wrigglers starting on 6th January and we'd love to welcome you!

28/11/2025

I'm afraid there will be no Black Friday deals here!

I know it's great to grab a bargain but here's a couple of reasons why won't be offering any:

✨️ I don't believe it's fair to the loyal and lovely people who have already signed up to my classes at full price.

✨️ I try really hard to keep my prices as low as I can to make my classes as accessible for as many of you as possible. Over the 14 years I've been teaching, the cost of a six week term of my baby classes have gone up by £15 which is the equivalent of just over £1 per year!

THANK YOU to everyone who continues to support my business which in turn helps me to keep my prices low! 🥰

🤰Knowing ways to boost your labour hormones.

🤰Instinctively moving into positions that you know will help your baby to descend and your labour to progress.

🤰Being confident that your birth partner knows how to support you.

The list goes on and on!

✨️✨️ T I N I E S B A B Y M A S S A G E ✨️✨️

These are the questions I often get asked about Tinies classes...

❓️WHAT IF... I feel anxious coming in to class? It's completely understandable if you feel a little nervous but I will be there to welcome you with a smile (and even meet you outside to walk in with you if you prefer) I try really hard to make sure everyone feels relaxed and at ease but please let me know if there is anything specific I can do for you 💜

❓️WHAT IF... I don't know anyone? This happens all the time but I keep the classes purposefully small so that they aren't overwhelming and actively encourage lots of chat both in class and outside with your own class WhatsApp group. You will get to know all your classmates by name and hopefully stay in touch for years to come as many previous mums have! 🫶

❓️WHAT IF... my baby cries in class? I remember this being one of my fears in baby classes but rest assured, this is completely normal and I would say pretty much every baby in my classes have cried at some point or another! It's just what they do, no-one will bat an eyelid and you will never be judged or made to feel uncomfortable 🥰

❓️WHAT IF... my baby needs feeding, changing, rocking etc? You can do all of those things in class, whether it's on the floor where you're sitting or there are chairs and a changing table provided. You are also welcome to walk around with your baby or anything else you need to do! 😊

❓️WHAT IF... my baby sleeps through the class? It is common for your baby to sleep for some, part or even all of the class! You can enjoy chatting, watching the class, having a drink and biscuit or even having a little nap yourself if you want! We repeat the massage from the previous week so you don't miss anything.😴

I hope these answers help but if you have any questions about Tinies or any of my other classes please get in touch 😊

The next term starts on 6th January and is NOW AVAILABLE TO BOOK if you'd like to join us!

✨️✨️✨️ ACTIVE BIRTHING - WEEK 6 ✨️✨️✨️

Tonight was the last week of the current term of Active Birthing classes. We enjoyed some gentle stretching and yoga movement to ease any aches and pains and practiced some labour positions/movements plus all 3 of our breathing techniques.

We also spent some time discussing the 3rd stage of labour, understanding what to expect at this point and what options are available regarding cord clamping and placenta delivery.

We ended the class with a lovely guided relaxation - what's not to love?!

The next term starts next week on Weds 26th November so if you'd like to join us you can book a £10 taster session or the full 6 week term for £75 online 💜
