Antenatal Services
Personalised Antenatal Support
Walk and Wonder
Do you have questions about labor, birth, or preparing for life with a newborn? Perhaps you want to understand what happens in the body during labor, how your birthing partner can support you, the range of pain relief options, or what to expect with induction or cesarean birth.
Recommended for parents from around 26 weeks' gestation onwards, these sessions give you time to prepare and build confidence for your individual journey.
Topics we can explore:
✨ Labour & Birth
🌿 Informed Choices
💛 Birth Partner Support
🌓 Life with a New Baby
👶 Practical Baby Care
Every session is tailored to you, your pregnancy and your priorities. Whether you’re looking for comprehensive birth preparation or support around a specific topic, we’ll create a space to explore your questions and help you feel informed, supported and prepared for the journey ahead.
Session options:
Face-to-face: £80 for 2 hours
Zoom: £75 for 2 hours
Many families find that two sessions provide a wonderful foundation for birth preparation, with an optional third session focusing on postnatal recovery, newborn care and the transition into family life. However, every journey is different, and sessions are always guided by your individual needs.
Travel beyond the local area may incur an additional fee to cover time and expenses.
Arrange your personalised antenatal session and receive guidance tailored to your pregnancy and birth journey.
Getting out when pregnant or with a baby can feel like a mission. There may be exhaustion, feeds, outfit changes, soothing stops and moments where staying home feels easier.
These free monthly walks are here to gently remind you that you are not doing this alone.
Even half a conversation, one sip of semi-warm drink or simply walking alongside someone who understands can make a difference.
Community can be a steady support in the transition to parenthood, and that is what Walk & Wonder hopes to nurture.
Walks are suitable for anyone pregnant and parents and carers with little ones in carriers, slings or suitable pushchairs, helping everyone move comfortably together.
Join a free Walk & Wonder for gentle movement, fresh air and connection with other local parents.

Jenni B. attended Baby Massage- The group size was just right. Liked that I can use the massage techniques at home. The nursery rhymes are really effective and loved the yoga aspect too. Baby massage is the perfect balance with yoga for moms and relaxing massage techniques for the babies. Perfect way to bond and encourage digestion.
Jerry T. attended Antenatal Sessions- Max has a wealth of knowledge. I felt able to ask questions. Stages of labour was eye opening. I have found the course so useful and supportive. I learnt a lot. Max was clear and reassuring throughout. Thank you.
Carmen A. attended Antenatal Sessions- Fantastic course, even for second time parents
Sarah M. attended Baby Massage- I really liked the mix of learning massage and getting to chat to other mums. I found the most useful aspect of the sessions how to soothe my baby’s tummy when it’s hurting him. The classes were really relaxed and enjoyable.
