Sessions per course: 10 x In Person

This postnatal course was designed specifically for mums who have just had their 2nd/3rd/4th babies and it takes place on weekday mornings but of course with the babies!

It primarily gives you the time and space to discuss you and your postnatal recovery and the transition you’re going through – everything else is about your baby, but this is about YOU! We reflect on how you’re doing in a supportive group of other local mums with similar aged babies. Partners are welcome to some of the sessions, but there is no pressure to do so if you’re back at work!

We now have the option to book either the postnatal course on it’s own or the postnatal course plus a 2 hour check in/feeding support session once your baby is born. These are very popular and booking it earlier means you get priority over any new clients once your baby has been born as I have limited availability, when we arrange a time that works well for a visit!

What's included:

In Buckinghamshire our Refreshers postnatal course is 10 sessions long and involves:

• a session to discuss postnatal emotions and the transition to becoming a parent
• a slings & carriers session plus ongoing support with slings as your baby grows
• a session on babies’ sleep and how it changes in the first year plus simple strategies to help
• a session on feeding to troubleshoot anything that’s come up
• a session about nutrition and nourishing yourself as you recover from pregnancy
• a session with a local photographer to get you in the frame - she’ll take photos of you and your baby
• check-ins throughout the course and a chance to reflect on how you’re doing at all stages
• Our very experienced Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, Chrissie Edley joins us to discuss physical postnatal recovery and the stages of this within the first year, returning to exercise plus checks everyone (who wants it) for diastasis recti
• Plus you get ongoing support from me with anything you need.

The course cost is £185
