The Nurture Programme

 Bonding classes for mum and baby although birthing partners are also very welcome. Through a combination of meditation, relaxation and music we create the perfect atmosphere to deeply strengthen the bond between mum and her unborn baby. This special time can be so important in developing the lifelong attachment that you will have with baby and provides a safe quiet environment away from the bustle of everyday life to destress and quieten the mind. The breathing and relaxation techniques that we use are also of great use during your birthing experience and beyond.   

Perinatal massage for expecting mums in their second or third trimester of pregnancy. Specialised massage sessions to help alleviate some of the common aches and pains that can come with pregnancy and a chance to unwind and bond with your unborn baby. We also cover advice on the use of massage during the birth experience to support mum and alleviate discomfort.  

These sessions can be booked as a one off experience or as a series of sessions. Great as a gift for a mum to be!  

Birth preparation classes for mums and their birth partners designed to empower and inform families about what to expect from the birthing experience. The classes will equip families with techniques that are bespoke them. These realistic, positive birth and baby preparation sessions encourage self-awareness, acceptance and growth. We help you prepare for birth and baby with honesty, empathy and anticipation. Childbirth is the most amazing experience of a woman’s life, and should be respected as such. Natural birth is the best option for mother and baby. Where this is not possible or not mother’s choice, we offer love, respect and support. Classes available in Jesmond on Tuesday evenings.

Congratulations! You have a baby, so what happens next?! These sessions help families prepare for life after birth and how to care, nurture and love your newborn. We explore everything from the very practical things you will need, what will be happening to mum at this point and making sure you can create an optimum nesting environment for your little one.   

Baby massage is a magical way to spend time with your baby, it improves relaxation (for both of you!), improves quality of sleep and smooths the transition from the womb to the world. It promotes bonding and can help with post natal depression. We also teach massage routines that can help with teething, colic and wind in a safe and natural way. It is also a lovely opportunity to talk to other mums with babies of a similar age and share a cuppa. These are currently running on a Monday afternoon on Gosforth High Street.  

Sessions specifically designed to support mums and their families who have been through challenging or traumatic birthing experiences. A safe and supportive atmosphere to reflect on their experiences and explore healing your body and emotions, helping your baby, deepening the bond between you, and building a supportive atmosphere for the rest of your lives.
