ExcellentBased on 37 reviewsGrainne McHugh10. November, 2023.Before attending Becks yoga and hynobirthing course I was feeling pretty anxious and clueless about giving birth. Her gentle and helpful way of explaining, introducing new information, answering any questions, and teaching yoga and hynobirthing techniques have set me up so that I am feeling confident and excited about my babys arrival. Each week of the course I noticed my anxiety lessen. I would reccommend Becks course.J P9. November, 2023.I really enjoyed my yoga and hypnobirthing classes. Each focussed on a different aspect of labour. Becks has a lot of great knowledge and was always happy to answer any questions along the way! I came away feeling relaxed and empowered after each class :)Hannah Thomson9. November, 2023.Loved every session with Becks. Learnt so much and felt really prepared (and even excited) for my labour.Julia Lindert12. September, 2023.We did a baby massage course with Becky which I can highly recommend. I loved the mix of mama yoga/baby massage/sensory/hot drink and chat with other mums. Becky is absolutely lovely, helpful and knowledgeable. The class is great value including so much fun, relaxation, instructions and help with the baby. Me and my little one love the chilled atmosphere. The space is bright, clean and comfy.Alice Crossfield6. September, 2023.I’ve been to Rebecca’s baby massage class and the pregnancy yoga and hypno birthing class and I’ve loved them both! The baby massage is a great place to meet new mums and I’ve made friends for life in them. The hypno birthing class (I’ve done with my second pregnancy) was so helpful and I feel really set up for what’s to come. The yoga was brilliant a great balance between gentle movements and breathing to help prepare! I can’t recommend these classes enough. I’ll be going back to the baby massage classes with my second!Aggie G6. September, 2023.Becks is just amazing so knowledgeable and easy going. The class is very laid back each class is concentrating at different body parts afterwards Becks sends out a summary of the class as a recap, so you can practice home. Part of the class is a little stretch/work out for mum and the second part is baby massage. Afterwards you get a hot drink and biscuits and you get a chance to make new friends! Now all my babies get the baby massage!Ellie Madgwick6. September, 2023.I’ve attended both the pregnancy yoga and baby massage classes with Becks and both have been brilliant. Firstly, the pregnancy yoga class taught me some great hypnobirthing tips as well as the fundamentals of labour. After my son was born we joined the baby massage course which soon became the highlight of our week! Becks is a great guide and everything is taught in a fun, calm and non-judgemental manner.Jodie Temmerman6. September, 2023.I attended Becky’s yoga and hypnobirthing classes. Becky provided an open, relaxed and fun space where no questions were off the table. The group size was small and friendly. I used the hypnobirthing techniques in my birth and I am grateful to have had the practice beforehand. The yoga element with the relaxation and stretching was a welcome addition to the end of my pregnancy. I always left the class feeling great! Thank you Becky :)JC G6. September, 2023.Loved doing this class so much that I've signed up for another group of sessions. Really calming and relaxing, and my son loves it.Harriet Jones6. September, 2023.My baby and I have just finished 2 terms of Baby Massage & Yoga classes and we absolutely loved them. The classes were such a great start to the week, spending time on a Monday morning with other mums. The yoga part was the perfect way to get moving post partum and my baby loved the massage and just being around other babies of a similar age! Would 100% recommend, thank you Becks :)
