classes
My little pickle classes take elements from hypnobirthing, mindfulness and neuroscience to ensure you have the right tools and knowledge to have an empowering and positive birth and postnatal experience.
We will also spend time learning about and preparing for the postnatal period. So much focus can be put on the birth that we can sometimes forget to think about what happens once you are home. I want to help you feel as calm and confident about this postnatal period as you do about your birth.
I offer a range of courses to suit all circumstances; for those wishing to connect with other families, to those who want the flexibility and personalisation of a private course, to couples who have already done a similar course or those who are short on time or who cannot commit financially to the longer courses but would like to benefit from learning and practicing tools for a positive birth experience!
This course is spread over 4 weeks to give you plenty of time to practice the techniques you will learn, ask questions and make connections with other members of the group. The more you practice the more you will get out of it it and the weekly group is a gentle way to check in and encourage and nurture a good habit.
The classes are held at my home studio, close to both Folkestone Central and Folkestone West stations. Free parking is available. It's a cosy , informal setting- ideal for the guided relaxations and getting to know the rest of the group.

The refresher class is designed for people who have already given birth. You may have already completed a course similar to a 'my little pickle course' and you just want a couple of sessions to refresh your memory. Alternatively you may have had a tricky first birth and you would like to try a course to help you release any anxiety and to help you feel prepared and positive about your up and coming birth. We will also spend some time planning for supporting both your newborn and your other children in the postnatal period.
