Question 1

What actually happens in a pregnancy relaxation session?

Accepted Answer

When you arrive you'll find a mat and get settled in. I'll bring you a hot drink to enjoy with your snacks for the session - pregnant mums need fuel right! Once everyone has arrived, we'll do some brief intros to get know other mums (share as much or little as you like!) We then do a few minutes of guided breathing to calm your nervous system and get rid of any tension from the week / weekend. Then we move on to our discussion topic of the week, so you can start to answer questions such as how can I create a beautiful, relaxing birth environment, what can my birth partner do to support me during labour, how can I make informed decisions, how am I feeling about becoming a mother, and lots of other themes. We then finish with a deep guided relaxation where you can lie down with your banket, while I transport you somewhere magical! Then it's time to wrap up and head home for the best sleep you've had in a long time, taking with you the hand-made positive birth affirmation card I've created for you.

Question 2

I've booked pregnancy yoga and my birth prep class, how is pregnancy relaxation different?

Accepted Answer

The Pregnancy Relaxation sessions are focused on slowing down, connecting with other mums, having a safe space to open up and share any worries about birth or motherhood, learning some top tips for birth, and deep relaxation. In the words of one of my previous mummies "it's the pregnancy class you didn't know you needed!"

Question 3

I want to meet some other mum friends - is this a good way to do it?

Accepted Answer

Yes absolutely! This is one of the most special parts of these courses - most women start as complete strangers for the first session, and then by the end they're becoming friends and building really strong relationships, swapping numbers and top tips!
Each group has their own separate WhatsApp group so you can all stay in touch. Lots of mummies who attend my Pregnancy Relaxation courses then meet up during pregnancy, on mat leave, and also one they've had their babies at my monthly Mum's Village meet-ups. It's a lovely way to meet other women and make some great mum friends to enjoy mat leave with!

Question 4

Will these sessions help me prepare for birth?

Accepted Answer

While this isn't a hypnobirthing or antenatal course, we do cover some areas of birth prep and things to think about and research further. The sessions help you build trust in your body, practice deep relaxation and develop a sense of calmness that is so important during pregnancy and labour.

Question 5

What are the benefits of attending Pregnancy Relaxation regularly?

Accepted Answer

Each Pregnancy Relaxation block is 4 weeks long. Coming to all 4 sessions helps you feel more grounded, reduce stress, improve sleep, and build a stronger connection with your baby and your body. Many women also leave feeling calmer and more confident about birth and motherhood. If you aren't able to attend all sessions, there's always the option to book individual ones too.
