Birth refresher workshops are designed for those who have given birth before and would like some education and support going into labour and birth again. I absolutely love delivering these sessions, they are so supportive and open up lots of really interesting conversations about past birth experiences, navigating the maternity services, choice and control.

The feedback from clients is amazing and the networks and friendships built have been amazing!

The next session is friday 10th July2026 6-9 pm Trinity Centre Gosforth

Ahhh the early days with a baby… it’s what you’ve waited all these months for. Instagram has told you it’s complete bliss, you can’t wait. And then the time arrives. You’re in the thick of the newborn haze….. and man this is all so much harder than you thought. Sleep deprivation, feeding struggles, emotions all over the place, overwhelmed…… oh and the crying, this is not the bliss you hoped for. You spend hours falling down the rabbit hole of social media, is this normal? Lost in apps tracking feeds, nappies, wake windows.
Does this sound familiar? Then this is for you. Time to switch off, have a cuppa and some cake surrounded by your own team of cheerleaders. To support you, celebrate the wins and share the tough bits too. (On those days we repeat the mantra…. This too shall pass)

Led by Linzy and Amanda, with a combined experience of over 40 years in supportive women in their postnatal and feeding journeys. We promise, your in good hands.

Community, confidence, connection- we’ve got you.

Wednesday 3 rd June 2:30-4 pm (and running every 2/3 weeks) Trinity Church Gosforth. (Booking essential )
