Empowering Parents Workshops
Focussed on building solutions
Although there is a huge amount of information available to parents and expectant parents nothing can beat the human element of having a face-to-face conversation with someone. It’s important also to have an opportunity to ask questions around your own personal experience.
That’s where our ‘Empowering Parents Workshops’ come in. We invite relevant professionals to share their knowledge and experience with you, empowering you to feel prepared and confident. Session are run both Online and In Person.

Preparing your body and mind for birth is so important. Anyone who has joined my pregnancy yoga classes will of heard me speak about how we can optimally prepare our bodies for birth as well as keeping it happy during pregnancy. I am also a firm believer that how we prepare our mind impacts on how we approach birth and our thoughts and beliefs around it.
In this special session I will help you prepare your mind for birth in a confident and positive way.
Through a mixture of breath work, mindfulness, affirmations and visualisations you will create positive connections when you think of birth and gently release any fears you may have.
This session can be done from your yoga mat, a comfortable chair, couch or even your bed and an affirmation handout will be emailed on afterwards.
This session is suitable for all stages of pregnancy but may be particularly helpful if you are your final few weeks.

Calm Baby … Calm, Confident Mum.
As a mum to 3 children myself and having spent many years working with parents and babies I’ve seen and understand how the first few months after birth can be a little daunting to say the least. Yes it’s an incredibly special and amazing time but there can also be a lot of second-guessing and self doubt.
During this lovely session you will learn techniques that will help you not only to calm and sooth your baby but also yourself too. Positive touch helps to relax you and your baby and it provides some lovely bonding time for you too.
We’ll go through some tried and testedtechniques including massage strokes and baby yoga movements that can help alleviate issues your baby may experience such as unsettled periods, settling to sleep, trapped wind, gas, and constipation.
I will also go through some tension-release movements and breathing hacks for Mum too as this is something we all need when looking after our little ones.
The classes are completely baby-led from the comfort of your own home, so your baby can cry, laugh, sleep or feed during the session! You can simply continue to watch me via your computer/ phone as I go through the session .
Handouts will be emailed to each participant.
Suitable from birth up until approx. 6 months.
