This is a fantastic workshop for first time parents who want to know more about what to expect in the Fourth Trimester. If you have not been around babies much or even held a newborn… then this workshop is for you!

We cover the following topics to get you more prepared for new parenthood;

• Postnatal changes in the body
• Finding your village of support
• Newborn Care
• Nurturing holds to calm and soothe baby, as well as how to read newborn cues
• Babywearing

I have gathered all my training into making one fully loaded course about new parenthood. As a first time parent, you may have attended birth preparation courses already but it’s also very important to prepare for the early weeks of finding your way as new parents. If we are informed about what may come up in the fourth trimester, the transition will be alot smoother both for you and baby.

Classes are held in a beautiful studio at Station House Health & Wellbeing, St Nicholas on the A48. There is easy access from Barry, Cowbridge, Llantwit Major, Bridgend and Cardiff.

If you would like more information on preparing to breastfeed your newborn, there is a separate course for that on my services page.

This is a one-to-one Antenatal Course specifically for expectant parents who are planning to breastfeed. My aim is to hold space for you to explore and learn about feeding in a clear and relaxed way. I am a fully certified practitioner through the Mindful Breastfeeding School, led by Anna Le Grange IBCLC. Our goal is to bring quality, up to date knowledge about breastfeeding as well as giving you the techniques to encourage relaxation and mindfulness in the fourth trimester.

As many of us are aware, stress and anxiety can pass on to baby when it comes to feeding, so we try and limit this by giving you quality breastfeeding information about three key areas; MIND, BODY & CONNECTION.

You will find out about breast anatomy, how to get a good latch and positioning baby for feeding but also how our mind plays a big part. Knowing how positively our brain reacts to relaxation breaths, calming music or a quiet environment gives you tools to use throughout your parenting journey… not just the newborn phase. When we as mothers feel calm and confident, our baby will also feel the benefit, and breastfeeding will be off to the best possible start!

Parents often find it reassuring to know they have my support in their home or even on the end of the phone. I have supported parents in the postnatal period after birth and adoption, so my role within your household can be tailored to what you require at that time. It may be that I can take over care of the baby while you take a nap or a bath, or free up time for your partner while they go shopping or takes some time out. I can entertain your older child while you establish feeding your newborn, or look after baby while you spend some quality time with your older child. Sometimes I simply just spend time with you, sipping tea and listening to any worries or triumphs. My main aim is to support you fully in taking the amount of time needed to rest and recover during postpartum… not many people actually think about this, but it’s my job to make sure you look after yourself too!
