Birth Preparation & Baby Care Workshops In WARWICK
Evening Antenatal Classes. Reimagined.
Antenatal Classes
Welcome to my classes, running over 3 evenings, offering a complete and vey practical guide to labour, birth, and baby care, all within a friendly and relaxed setting.
I want this to be a relaxed but joyful experience, providing you with the opportunity to work with birthing balls, peanut balls, and for you to practice positions that will support you in your labour and the birth of your baby.
It is particularly suitable for ladies from 33 -35 weeks of pregnancy, so that they and their partner can practice at home and it will be fresh in their minds when the labour journey begins.
A useful information pack will be available to take home, and the expectant mother will build her own labour bead toggle to take home during the third class.
It will be so much fun… come and join me soon..
Get ready for your baby's arrival!

Testimonials
"I honestly couldn't have wished for a better experience..."
“I was lucky enough to have Linda as my community midwife for both my pregnancies and she also supported with the delivery of my second. She provided me with the knowledge and reassurance throughout the whole process to feel empowered and truly cared for. After an epidural with the first birth, during the throws of labour I was ready to go down the same route but Linda calmly provided me with the alternative options and gave me the confidence to proceed without and I honestly couldn’t have wished for a better experience.
She has spent her life giving every single woman the same support and I know that she will be able to in-still the same confidence through her antenatal classes as she did for me. Thanks again for all your help, Linda.”

"Thanks to Linda, I went into my elective C-section feeling confident and supported..."
“After a traumatic first birth, I was terrified. But with Linda’s unwavering support, I went from feeling completely disempowered to having a truly healing and beautiful experience with the birth of my son, Henry.
Even when the hospital told her she couldn’t see me anymore, Linda stayed by my side, fighting my corner, and advocating for my choices. She was my constant, calming presence. She challenged the doctors’ scaremongering, ensured my birth preferences were honored, and even helped minimize the number of people in the room so I could feel safe and in control.
Thanks to Linda, I went into my elective C-section feeling confident and supported. Her presence turned an overwhelming surgical procedure into a serene and personal birth. The difference was night and day. I honestly couldn’t have had this incredible experience without her.”

"Thank you for helping to shape me into the midwife that I am today!..."

I could not have got through this journey without you by my side. You are the most amazing mentor and midwife.”
