How will this course help you?
-
In my work with new parents in the NHS and Baby Steps, I know how stretched services are. Professionally and as a Mummy of two myself I know how vital this support is. Gone are the days of weekly visits from the Health Visitor or even a weekly Baby Clinic.
-
So I have created this 5 week course to give a ‘Circle of Support’ in the calm cocoon of the Studio. The Mama and Baby Wellbeing course will give you the chance, in a small group to be reassured each week with professional advice, have a cosy cuppa and treats in gorgeous surroundings with your baby.
-
You will arrive at the Baby Steps Studio nestled in the woods with easy parking in a beautiful, calming spot. You can settle into your own nest of a chair, mat, blanket and cushions. After our warm hellos you will have the chance to catch your breath with some gorgeous relaxation exercises.
-
This will be followed by a different activity for your baby and then a topic each week drawing on my 27 years experience caring for families as a Paediatric Nurse, Health Visitor, Infant Massage Instructor & as a Mummy.
-
I liaise with a range of health professionals to bring you this holistic course which will give you invaluable confidence, advice and reassurance and a network of professional including a reflexologist, acupuncturist, perinatal psychologist, pelvic floor, physiotherapist, nutritionist, whose advice you will receive in person or via Katherine and this will create a network of professionals you can refer to.
Topics we will cover include:
-
Looking after yourself: Including a beautiful facial reflexology session, chats around postnatal recovery & tips around Nutrition
-
Mummy MOT - physio & pelvic floor.
-
Adjusting to role as new parent
-
Play and Communication & developmental milestones with your baby right from the early days
-
Sleep and Settling: for you and your baby!
-
Lastly in our small group we will share supportive chat giving you the opportunity to listen or share with other parents. This will be such a special part of your week for you and your baby.
-
Suitable from birth to crawling. You will get a goody bag with keepsakes & treats.
I am here to support you and your baby in your first steps together

Why choose Baby Steps?
As a Mum of two myself and 27 years of supporting and caring for families with new babies, I know how vital it is to have reassuring and sound professional advice as well as well as a welcoming gorgeous space to come each week to relax, share the journey with other parents and have a cuppa! Never more so than now.
This is the support you need and deserve.
I've been there and I can't wait to meet you and your little one,
