WHAT ELSE WE OFFER…
POST BIRTH THERAPIES
Babies (and partners) are most welcome to attend with you when you come for your post birth treatment, there are private areas to sit and relax and we love to see you all and meet your new arrival! Some babies join their mums for a cuddle during treatments meaning you can relax without a worry of missing a moment

TESTIMONIALS

DANI
My husband and I both found the session extremely useful for preparation of labour/birth. We loved how you took the time to fully understand my previous labour/birth and tailored the birth plan to make me feel fully empowered and confident with my decisions.
