Pregnancy & parenting (couples) event

Hi! We’re Amy & Emilee and we’re so excited to invite you to our Pregnancy Preparation Retreat for expectant couples! 🤰✨

We created Expectant Escapes to support families to feel informed, empowered, and confident for birth and early parenthood. Everything we do is shaped by our own experiences as parents, and the incredible feedback from families who have joined us so far. 💛

Join us in the beautiful village of Appledore, Kent, for a full day of support, learning, and relaxation designed for you and the person supporting you through your journey (birth partners, friends, family - anyone is welcome as your plus one!).
