That foggy, completely exhausted feeling in the early weeks of parenthood? It isn’t just in your head. πŸ§ πŸ‘‡

Earlier this year, I had the incredible opportunity to step onto the BBC Breakfast couch to talk all things 'Baby Brain'. And let me tell youβ€”even as a qualified perinatal educator, my own very present baby brain and live-TV nerves had me working hard to find my words! πŸ˜…

It was a huge reminder of just how real that postpartum fog is. Your body is undergoing massive physical and hormonal changes while running on empty.

That is exactly why you cannot do the fourth trimester alone. Support during the postpartum period isn't a luxuryβ€”it’s an absolute necessity for your mental and physical wellbeing.

In our Parent Workshops right here in Stretford, we don't just focus on the birth. We dive deep into the real stuff:

βœ… Navigating the fog of 'baby brain' with grace.
βœ… Setting up a postnatal support system that actually works.
βœ… Learning practical infant feeding and newborn care before your baby arrives.

You deserve to step into parenthood feeling calm, capable, and completely supported. πŸ’–

🌞Pregnancy Affirmations - Happy Sunday Everyone!🌞

It is so true - there is no better feeling than that of your baby/babies moving within your belly - unless perhaps they get a rib, or punch your bladder towards the end of the third trimester! πŸ˜…πŸ₯°πŸ˜

πŸ‚Is your baby due this autumn or winter??πŸ‚

πŸͺ·Feel Calm, Confident and Ready for BirthπŸͺ·

🀰Preparing for your baby is one of life's biggest journeys. Whether you're expecting your first baby or growing your family, my classes are designed to help you feel informed, supported and confident every step of the way.

🍁As a former Daisy Foundation teacher, I have supported many expectant parents through pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. My relaxed, evidence-based classes provide practical knowledge, honest conversations and a welcoming space where every question is valued.

No matter where you are on your pregnancy journey, you'll leave feeling more prepared and confident about the exciting weeks ahead.

πŸ“£Parent Testimonials!πŸ“£

One of my favourite things to receive after Classes or Workshops are your reviews!
It helps me to remember why I love teaching these classes again and again!

🀰Every person is different, every birth is unique! And I am here to help you feel as empowered and equipped with tools and knowledge as possible!🀰🏾

🌞There is little more that will help you feel more confident approaching your special day than feeling in control.

That does not mean you will exactly know how your birth will look like! But you will feel prepared and know how to ask the right question, you will know what interventions are and why they may be offered, you will know how you can breath through contractions of any intensity, how to create your own labour bubble, and how you can use your breathing techniques when you may ask for an epidural, get ready to have your caesarean section, or have those after contractions.

I love this job and meeting new expectant parents with their fears, worries and hopes as those transform into anticipation and empowerment! πŸ₯°

Being pregnant in the summer can be hard - everything is hot and sweating is so much more uncomfortable!

Here are some ideas of how to stay cool during the summer! I always took the opportunity to run my wrists under cold water whenever a tap was near! It worked wonders! πŸ₯°

What are some of your tips to stay cool during this summer?
