Reflexology for Supporting the Pregnancy Journey
Reflexology is based on the principle that there are reflex areas on the feet which correspond to all the organs, systems and parts of the body. When these points are stimulated, tension is eased, nerve and blood supply is increased and the body's own healing potential is activated.
Maternity Reflexology aims to optimise the physical and emotional health of the pregnant woman and maintain balance during the rapid hormonal and physical changes of pregnancy. The skill of the reflexologist is also to harmonise the whole being in preparation for birth.
Clinic available every Wednesday from 12pm
Liquid Gold: Colostrum Harvesting & Antenatal Breastfeeding Support
This 60 min appointment aims to help you feel more confident about breastfeeding and understand how to prevent and solve common breastfeeding difficulties. You will also learn how to harvest your colostrum (hand expressing technique) and receive both an antenatal colostrum harvesting kit and a breastfeeding guide. Partner's are also welcome to attend.
What is colostrum? During your pregnancy, your breasts will start to produce breast milk (the exact timing of this varies from person to person). The first breast milk your body makes is known as colostrum. Colostrum is the perfect source of nutrition for your baby because it: • contains antibodies which protect your baby from infection and help their immune system to develop • helps your baby’s digestive system to develop, which protects your baby from allergies • encourages your baby to open their bowels and pass ‘meconium’ (your baby’s first black sticky poo) which reduces their risk of jaundice You can collect and freeze your colostrum during the last few weeks of your pregnancy. This has many benefits for you and your baby.
Learning how to hand express your colostrum during the last few weeks of your pregnancy will enable you to: • become familiar with your breasts and how they work • store colostrum for your baby in case they need encouragement with feeding • feel more confident with hand expressing your breast milk after your baby is born Collecting your colostrum during pregnancy has benefits for all women and their babies. However, it is especially beneficial for your baby if they are likely to have difficulties with feeding or maintaining their blood sugar levels during the first few days after birth. This may be because your baby: • is large or small for their gestational age • is a twin or triplet • has a cleft lip or palate • has Down’s syndrome or a heart condition
Clinic available every Wednesday from 12pm

Positive Induction of Labour Workshop
Next workshop: Tuesday 14th November from 7pm - 9pm
Induction of labour is an increasingly common intervention. A key finding of The National Maternity and Perinatal Audit (NMPA) Clinical report 2022 was that 34% of women and birthing people had their labour induced. More and more pregnant people find themselves having to decide whether to let their body and baby go into labour spontaneously or agree to medical intervention.
This workshop is designed to explore the pros and cons of waiting and of being induced after due date, when baby is thought to be bigger than average, when the woman is older, if she has had IVF or when her waters have broken earlier than usual. I explain the process of induction of labour and share information from research studies to help families become more informed and make the decision that is right for them.
And if the decision is to accept an induction of labour, this workshop will guide you on how to make your induction a positive birth experience.
Moving for an Easier Birth
Next workshop: Tuesday 21st November from 7pm - 9pm
A key finding of The National Maternity and Perinatal Audit (NMPA) Clinical report 2022 was that 29% of women and birthing people having their first baby gave birth via caesarean section - 6% were planned (elective) and 23% were unplanned (emergency).
Caesarean birth is a hugely complex and emotive topic. This workshop aims to navigate the research and enable pregnant people and their families to make positive decisions and feel supported if a caesarean is actively chosen or accepted when medically advised.

Caesarean birth is a hugely complex and emotive topic. This workshop aims to navigate the research and enable pregnant people and their families to make positive decisions and feel supported if a caesarean is actively chosen or accepted when medically advised.
