You're pregnant. You're excited. And you're scared — and that's okay. You've been collecting birth stories your whole life without realising it. Your mum's. Your sister's. The ones that found you on Instagram at midnight. They all end the same way. Hard. Painful. Something going wrong And now it's your turn What if the women who birthed calmly, confidently, without regret — weren't just lucky? What if they just prepared differently? Not a hospital bag checklist. The kind of preparation that changes how you think about birth — before you're even in the room Right now you haven't done much. You've decided to "go with the flow." Your partner's supportive but clueless. You've spent more time on nursery colours than contractions. But underneath the excitement, there's a quiet voice: what if it's as bad as they say? That voice makes sense. You've been fed a very particular story about birth your whole life But that story isn't yours. And you don't have to accept it. Birth + Beyond is a 4-week group course that goes deeper than the basics. We cover your mindset, your body, your tools — breathwork, movement, advocacy — and how to actually think about birth, not just survive it. Week 5 is led by a specialist lactation consultant, taking you into what comes next You won't just know about birth. You'll be ready for it I'm Amy, and I've supported many women and their partners going into birth and beyond. I'm passionate about women having a birth they feel proud of, like they come out and feel like they can totally do that again. That's what I want for you. We meet at Milly May's in Mickelover. Wednesday evenings 18:30-20:30 for 4 weeks. The 5th week will be led by Faye, from Feeding with Faye. She'll guide you on how to get breastfeeding off to a great start. The course begins on Wednesday 15th April Your Investment, £350

Whether you have a phobia, have had a traumatic experience, like birth trauma, or even feel a sense of fear for the rest of your pregnancy and upcoming birth, you may have feelings that no longer serve you in your day-to-day life. These unwanted responses may be (but not limited to): • Anxiety • Feelings of guilt, shame or failure • Physical symptoms, like stomach upsets, shaking, increased heart rate • Flashbacks • Intrusive thoughts • Hypervigilance • Trouble sleeping • Unable to talk about the event without feeling overwhelmed This is your invitation to release yourself from these responses. The 3-Step Trauma Release sessions work to unhook these responses from the experience without losing any of the wisdom you have gained. What does the process involve? Just 3x 45-minute sessions are all it takes to bring back a sense of lightness and calm to your life. Session 1: You may choose to share the experience you are working with or you may not, your choice. The process will still work just as effectively. Then, I will take you through a guided relaxation to help settle your nervous system, bringing you into a deep sense of relaxation. You will receive a recording of the relaxation for you to use between sessions 1 and 2 and whenever you need in the future. Session 2: We will start with a check-in, to see how you are getting on. Session 2 will be the session where all the juicy re-encoding of the experience happens. Your brain will change how it stores away the experience in your memory, releasing these unwanted emotions. You will still remember what happened but be able to move on with peace and with all you learned from the experience. Session 3: This is the final session, a short, guided relaxation where you envision your future self without any of the unwanted responses to the experience. You will also receive a recording of this session for any time in the future. Are you ready to heal? When you feel ready to bring peace and healing to your body, please get in touch to start your journey. Sessions are held online or at your home (if you are local to Derby). Important: It is important to point out that this is NOT therapy and I am not a therapist. This process is a very clever guided relaxation, working on re-coding your experience.

You've prepared. Now let's prepare both of you. A hands-on workshop so that when the moment comes, you're not just side by side — you're a team. You've done everything right. And yet. You've read the books, done the classes, practiced the breathing. So has he. But you've heard the stories — the partner on his phone, offering a snack when she's deep in the zone (no, you wouldn't want that chocolate digestive right now!), suggesting she "try her breathing" when she's already three steps ahead. Everyone talks about having a team. You're just not sure how to become one. What if he could actually help? Birth narrative is almost always aimed at the woman. Like it's 1811 and the man is nowhere to be seen. But you've never done the big things alone — the job changes, the house you weren't sure you could afford. You do things together. Why should this be different? What if he knew exactly where to place his hands to ease your body? What if you'd practiced enough that you didn't need words — just a look, a touch, a presence that says I've got you? This is a workshop for both of you Not more theory. Real, hands-on practice — together. Your partner gets to be the practical person he is, with skills in his hands and a quiet confidence in his chest. He gets to care for you. And he doesn't want to be a spare part either. Go from hoping he'll figure it out on the day, to knowing you're in sync and he has your back. Awkward massages to soothing touch that alleviates the pain. What happens when you've practiced together? You practice at home — not because you feel obliged to, but because it works. His hands find the right spot. Your breath eases. A rhythm builds. And when the day comes, you won't be hoping for support. You'll already be a team. He will be steady when you falter — not because he read about it, but because you practiced it. Together. Practical, personal, on your terms I'm Amy, a qualified pregnancy yoga teacher and birth educator. This workshop gives your partner real, adaptable skills — not a script. No jargon, no agenda. Just the two of you learning to do this together. Includes: biomechanics, breathwork to practice together, comfort techniques, how to read her cues, what to say and when silence is everything — and tools that carry into new parenthood. Ready to do this together? Ideal from 30weeks + Oakwood Community Centre (Oak Room) Saturday 21st March 2026 £89 per couple Spaces limited

Remember who you were before you became "Mum"? The woman who swam, walked for hours just because it felt good? She's still in there. But right now, your body feels like a stranger's. You tense your pelvic floor before sneezing, hoping you won't leak. Your shoulders and back ache from endless carrying and feeding. You look in the mirror and don't recognize who's staring back. And those baby groups? Exhausting. Everyone comparing sleep schedules and feeding methods while you're just trying to get through the day. You don't need another overstimulating playgroup. You need to feel held again. This is your space to: Rebuild from the foundations - Pelvic floor, deep core, breath reconnection. No quick fixes, just intelligent strengthening that honors what your body's been through. Move like yourself again - Stretch away those aching shoulders and tight hips. Release tension from constant baby-wearing. Feel your body respond and remember what "good" feels like. Work toward YOUR goals - Want to run? Bounce on a trampoline with your child without wearing a pad? Jump without leaking? We'll get you there, step by step. Reconnect with your body - Not punishing it back to "before," but learning to see everything it has achieved and all it's capable of becoming. But here's what makes this different: This isn't just exercise. It's sanctuary. You'll be with women who are also figuring out who they are as mothers. Women who celebrate the real milestones - your first solo shower, leaving baby without guilt, getting through class without tears (or with them, because both are fine). We laugh. A LOT. We cry sometimes. We share the real stuff - the beautiful, messy, hilarious truth of motherhood. No judgment. Just mums getting through life together. Your baby feeds mid-class? Perfect. Cries? Of course. Sleeps peacefully? Amazing. However they show up is exactly right. But here's the thing: You come first in this 75mins. Your body. Your healing. Baby is welcome, but this time is about YOU. What happens: Pelvic floor work that works • Core rebuilding with intelligence and care • Stretches that ease the constant ache • Breathing that calms your system • Baby massage for deeper connection • Movement that feels good, not punishing • Community that holds you as you are You used to be active, adventurous, strong. You can be that woman again Your body didn't betray you. It transformed. Now let's transform with it Chellaston Community Centre 9:45-11
