  • REFRESHER ANTENATAL COURSE

    This Refresher Antenatal workshop with Blossom in Bath provides you with  space to reflect on previous birth experiences and consider how you would like to prepare and plan for this birth. There will be an opportunity to revisit breathing techniques, explore positions for labour and birth, discuss coping strategies, pain management options together with some hypnobirthing.  

    We will also be covering how to prepare for the changes a new baby brings to family life, sharing suggestions on ways to involve older siblings, maximising your postnatal recovery and building a new support network for you with exclusive access to a closed WhatsApp group for continued support .

    This workshop is a lovely way to meet other parents expecting another baby around a similar time to you.

  • POSTNATAL YOGA

    A chance to gently stretch, move and relax in a beautiful and inviting space. Whilst your babies are warmly welcomed and included, the focus is mostly on you, your safe and steady postnatal recovery and an opportunity to take a bit of time to top up your batteries as you navigate your way through the postnatal period.

    I look forward to truly nurturing you, at a time when you are so very busy nurturing others.

    WellBath is a beautiful location nestled in the countryside just outside of Larkhall, Bath. Some mums choose to brave the hill and take the chance for some fresh air walking up to the studio, but there is ample parking and when you arrive there is loads of space both in the studio and lobby for your prams, car seats and baby equipment.

    All mats, blankets, cushions and baby toys are provided, and the class is suitable from around 6 weeks postpartum depending on your recovery, until your baby is on the move.

    Next course runs from 24th February-24th March Tuesdays 1-2pm

  • FREE EARLY PREGNANCY WORKSHOP

    Pregnancy can sometimes feel quite lonely and isolating, particularly if your antenatal course seems ages away. This warm and relaxed session will be an opportunity to discover more about the incredible changes that are happening in your body, the amazing hormones that are an essential part of pregnancy and birth and a greater understanding of what your options are for birth preparation and place of birth.

    The workshop will also be a taster of some of the other things we offer at Blossom in Bath, including some hypnobirthing and gentle pregnancy yoga. There will be an opportunity to have tea or coffee  afterwards at our venue, the beautiful Hartley Farm Barn, and to join the group WhatsApp for continued support and connection throughout your pregnancy.

OTHER COMMUNITY INTEREST GROUPS I AM INVOLVED WITH

BATH HOME BIRTH GROUP

I have run this group for over 12 years now. We have moved from monthly meet ups in a local hall, to now being a supportive WhatsApp group for sharing stories, equipment and support and a monthly online meeting to hear a gorgeous birth story and ask plenty of questions. It’s the most wonderful supportive space and it’s an honour to hear poeple’s stories, how the community has helped them, and the friendships made as well. I also have several birth pools we have been given over the years, that I loan out to local families for free. If you’d like to find out more about the group, borrowing a pool, or home birth in general, then please send me an email.

BLOSSOM IN BATH

I run Blossom in Bath with my dearest friend (and Doula!) Noreen Hart. Between us we have over half a decade of experience supporting families, and Noreen brings her immense wisdom as a mother, grandmother, NCT facilitator, perinatal campaigner and hypnobirthing practitioner. For many years we have run Early Mothering together, and in the last 3 years, the pregnancy cafe, early pregnancy workshops, antenatal sessions and also our online sessions through Blossom antenatal as well. Much of what we offer is free or low cost, and we feel passionately about connecting families and creating community. I am so very fond of every family with whom our paths have crossed over the years. It really does take a village to raise a child and some of the friendships and connections made are so incredibly heartening.

Pregnancy cafe generally meets the first Friday of the month at Hartley farm in Bradford on Avon and Boston tea Party in Bath. Our workshops run several times a year, and we have an online session almost every week (including a free online relaxation every Monday night!)

We pop everything on our social media page, and have a rage of whatsapp groups you can join to connect with local families.
