Pregnancy yoga is not quite what you think! Those deep backbends, deep warrior poses and fancy headstands? Yeah, they don’t happen here. We aim to bring comfort to the body by gently bringing in movement with poses that are tailored for your changing body, for all trimesters as well as other tools. Carrying a baby can bring such joy, feeling them wriggling inside your tummy, knowing you are never truly alone during this time, how blissful! But it can also come with some ailments, think; achy hips/back, sleeplessness, worries about your baby, the upcoming birth. This is completely NORMAL! In our classes we incorporate different techniques to bring ease to your body and mind, relieve some of those pregnancy ailments and to build the confidence in your body’s own ability to birth your baby. • Are you ready to prepare your body for birth? • Do you want to bring ease and peace to your body and mind? • Are you ready to empower your pregnancy journey? It’s time to ease those pregnancy ailments, release some of that tension and stress you may be holding and just get an opportunity just for you and your baby to connect and relax.

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.

First things first- Congratulations on your pregnancy! Now, you’re dreaming of having a calm birth, one with low lighting, music of your choice and the freedom to move around. Or perhaps that calm caesarean birth where you feel in control. The birth that brings your baby straight into your arms where you can meet them for the first time and completely drink them in. You may see so much out there in the media, what you see on TV or what other people (yes, even those random strangers that think it’s OK to tell you everything, just because you’re pregnant) that may make you second guess the type of birth you want or question whether it can be achieved. Here’s a secret… It is absolutely achievable! You can have the birth that you dream of, regardless of what that may look like. You can have control over what may happen, where you make the decisions that feel right for you and your baby. • Are you ready to learn about how to get the birth you desire? • Are you ready to build your confidence to advocate for your birth? • Do you want to learn how birth actually unfolds? Join me for Antenatal Education sessions where you will feel informed, empowered and confident to plan for your ideal birth. Why take Antenatal Education classes with Amy? Now, I don’t come from a place where I can say that I had that empowered, perfect birth- far from it! But I am here to teach you HOW to have that positive birth experience, whatever may unfold. I am here to teach you everything I wish I knew when I had my babies. My passion lies with educating parents so they don’t struggle with what happens. Through the course you will learn everything from how a baby is born to creating the ideal birth environment for you. From the hormones that are needed for birth to tons of birth partner tips and everything in between. The course runs as 1:1 sessions in your own home or online. Please email to arrange dates and times before booking on. If you and a friend/s are wanting the course together as a group please email to discuss! "Me and my partner attended a fantastic antenatal class with Amy. Amy is a super friendly, lovely person with a calm energy, who helped prepare us for what to expect during labour and birth. I would highly recommend attending antenatal classes with Amy. She helped give me the confidence to speak up and advocate for my wants during my labour and birth" Leanne- previous client
