By your side for every step of your early motherhood journey
Doula services, yoga and antenatal classes in Banbury, Brackley and surrounding villages.
Motherhood is the biggest shift in gear that your life can take, something we were never meant to do alone.
Feeling that sense of trepidation? Totally normal.
Right now, you might be feeling overwhelmed, excited, or maybe even lonely or isolated, especially if your friends aren’t quite in the same space as you.
Well-meaning comments with horrific birth stories or advice on how to sleep train your newborn are coming thick and fast. And while it’s all well-intentioned, it’s actually just adding to your stress levels.
Meanwhile, your eyes are tired from all the late-night Googling as you try to figure out what’s normal. You’ve tried joining the online forums and Facebook groups, but all you get is opinions from strangers when what you really want is genuine connection with other people in the same boat.
You want to be able to ask “is it normal….?” without feeling silly or judged, but your midwife appointment only lasts 15 minutes and your health visitor never replies to your messages.
You need someone to turn to. Someone you trust, who will listen without jumping in, cutting you off or dictating.
Everyone keeps telling you that “it takes a village” but nobody has told you where to find it…
Well, let your shoulders drop. Because you just did.
I have worked with hundreds of parents over the last 8 years. Whether this is your first baby or your fourth, I am here to guide you with my straightforward, fuss-free, honest take on birth and motherhood.
Here, you’ll find open doors to a welcoming, supportive bunch of people in friendly classes that feel so homely it’s like slipping into your favourite sweatshirt and leggings combo.
Join me for birth and baby classes without the cringe
Feeling like you can’t control anything, so why even try?
I feel you.
Hello! I’m Amy
8 years on and I am now not only teaching antenatal classes but attending births and running classes that have friendship and community at their heart – all so that people don’t go through their motherhood journey feeling lonely, lost and confused like I did.
It’s my mission to show you that although you can’t control everything, preparing for what you can control is a crucial component of an empowered birth and the beginning of your parenthood journey.
In 2023 I opened my own studio space to bring all of my services together, under one roof, and as an antidote to all those cold village halls and draughty venues. Since opening, the studio has grown and become a place that many other local baby classes operate from, so there really is a great community feeling as soon as you walk in the door and it can truly be a safe space to take you from bump to baby.
Whether you have only just found out you’re pregnant, or your baby is here and you’re looking for the next steps, I have a class to suit you on your journey through motherhood.
