🚨ATTENTION ALL TINYTALKERS🚨

Unfortunately I am down with a pretty decent case of Laryngitis, day 4 of no voice 😩

I am therefore delaying our start of this half term until TUESDAY 8th MARCH.

We will still be running for 6 weeks, with our last week being in the first week of Easter holidays. I will send welcome emails later this evening, apologies for delay, I was waiting on confirming the extra date with the church.

Any issue with this extra date we can either refund that last week or roll the class to next term 💜

Please tag any friends who are attending too 💜

Sorry everyone, see you in a week 🥰

Actuallyyyyyyyyyyyyyy 👀 those clever babies and toddlers totally CAN BE MORE SPECIFIC 🤩😍🤩

We’re back after half term with the second half of term! Come learn the gift of communication 💜

Another wonderful local birthing biz is the lovely Claire over at Queen Bee Birthing who can get you super prepped for birth with hypno birthing courses and workshops 🥰

🐝H E L L O🐝 I’ve had quite a few new followers this week (Hi! 😉)... so thought I might re-introduce myself... 🐝 I’m Claire, and I run Queen Bee Birthing in Clanfield, near Petersfield. I absolutely LOVE teaching my Hypnobirthing & Birth-Prep Classes to all expectant parents and help them discover their inner-strength and confidence to totally BOSS their birth!

I’m Mummy to 3 busy kiddos, age 9, 6 & 2, and also had a baby for our friends as a surrogate a couple of years ago too! I’m mega-passionate about all things birthy, especially Physiological Birth and knowing your birth-rights. I’m proudly part of the committee at and love getting involved in all the events…

Things you should know about me: I love dancing with my husband at weddings, I can say the alphabet backwards, and I’m incapable of going to bed before midnight 😂

I often jump up and down with excitement at the prospect of helping others have a positive and empowering birth - a great day to remember for the rest of your life...

Feel free to say hi in the comments 🤗

Next up is the wonderful Kim over at South Coast Placenta. I was fortunate to win an encapsulation package at an Informed Pregnancy, Birth & Beyond event and was so chuffed as it was something I was really considering. I also chose to add on the smoothie! I can honestly tell you I had so much energy, felt great and my milk came in days quicker than first time. Kim offers a wonderful service 💜

HAPPY CLIENT- Full testimonial.

I actually met Kim after the birth of my first born… I instantly wished I’d known about placenta encapsulation and the potential benefits before having him… I had a terrible birth and despite using my own trade (nutritional therapist), it took a long time to recover.

I sent many clients to Kimberley as she was/is so passionate about what she does (and so she should be!). Everyone told me how great they felt after having their little ones, so when I fell pregnant with my daughter booking Kim was one of the first things I did. I’m so glad I did.

If I were to have another baby, I would 100 percent have my placenta encapsulated again; the difference in recovery was incredible.
Despite having no sleep and now two children to look after I felt energised, my skin was clear, my milk came in with no issues, I felt sooo much happier, I didn’t have any blues at all post birth and overall recovery has been amazing.

Not only that, but Kimberley was incredible too, she was so supportive throughout pregnancy and postpartum!

If you are in any doubt, don’t be! Thank you again xx
