These are now running in person (as Covid restrictions have lifted) but there is an online option for you to access them from anywhere in the world!
I can't tell you how useful they've all been!
We were sceptical about the hypnobirthing but really enjoyed it & have taken away some valuable tips and definitely recommend anyone giving it a go!
The antenatal classes have put us very much at ease and definitely helped to prepare us for what may come our way from birth & early parenthood. The course is very well structured and easy to follow.
We felt very comfortable at the classes and found it a great opportunity to ask any questions (both in person, via text during the week, or via a WhatsApp group for all the parents on the course). Freya was able to answer any questions that we had, as well as offer great advice and point us in the right direction if there was additional information that we wanted.
The course was also a great opportunity to speak to other parents too, and to realise that we aren't alone on this journey.
We highly recommend Freya, and are very grateful for her time, support & the resources that she provided (and of course the great snacks too) 😀. Thank you!! read less

Each session was welcoming and comfortable for both mum and dad to be. It's so great to meet other mums to be and we still meet up now our babies are here. Definitely recommend this ante natal course. read less

We both felt they were very informative and helped us feel prepared and calm during labour/ the birth. My husband and I agreed that he was a great birthing partner because of the classes. Would highly recommend them and have already told friends about them. Thanks Freya for all your help xx read less

My husband and I attended the antinatal class in February and it was extremely useful.
We were undecided if it was something we needed as I felt well informed about pregnancy and childbirth. However, after deciding to attend, both my husband and myself felt so much more prepared than what I thought I was.
Not only does this course, and Freya, provide information but also a way to keep in contact with mums that are going through the same thing. I came away confident and positive. read less

The classes were very laid back and friendly, as well as being full of great information and advice. We left the classes feeling very informed and prepared for pregnancy and birth. Despite having a not-so-straightforward delivery, I felt very confident and relaxed about everything that happened thanks to Freya and I still came out feeling very positive about the experience. Honestly, I can't recommend the Expecting classes enough! read less

We’d been debating whether we needed to go to an antenatal class but decided pretty late on we should just go, and as such struggled to find a class we could complete before 38 weeks. When we found Freya we were delighted to see she offered a single day option and booked immediately.Freya explained things really well and was keen to get us to engage and ask any questions we had. We both came out feeling far more prepared than we did going in and we’d highly recommend both the Expecting classes and doing it in a day session! read less

My husband and I found the classes really helpful and informative as we learnt things we would never have thought of otherwise. Freya made everyone in the group feel at ease and always allowed time for questions around each subject. Our group are still in touch with each other which is great for sharing our experiences, especially now that we all have our babies. Highly recommended! read less

However thankfully I saw a video of Expecting and it was then recommended to me by a friend. We are so glad we booked the classes, both me and my husband feel a lot more prepared for what's about to happen.
Freya not only told us the mechanics of it all but she also told us some really useful tips to make the whole experience less scary.
We can't thank her enough. ❤ read less

We were amazed at what this marvellous course, full of the most relevant and new information had to offer!
Freya knows her stuff and then some! Honest with much needed humour thrown in for good measure! We couldn’t recommend it enough!
Thank you too, to all the lovely couples that we have met over the period of the course! read less

Non of that sitting round on the floor doing breathing exercises like I was dreading just up-to-date practical information about pregnancy, birth and baby care. Time was also made during the classes to let you get to know the other people there. The antenatal girls and I still meet up regularly with the kids (now all 3 years old) and they were a lifesaver in those early days with little babies when you need to speak to someone who totally understands what you’re going though. I found Freya’s list of local baby groups invaluable too, it lived on my fridge for east reference for a good couple of years! I also attended one NHS class at Stafford Hospital which was extremely confusing and the people delivering seemed unable to answer any questions asked. Having attended this I did not go back to anymore NHS classes and I was even more grateful that i’d already attended Freya’s Expecting Classes! Would recommend without reservation. read less

Freya is extremely friendly, knowledgable and approachable & has definitely helped us to feel ready for baby to arrive!
We have learnt so much from the classes and now feel ready to put it into action!
Freya created a relaxed atmosphere where every member of the group felt comfortable to share questions & comments. We are all looking forward to the already arranged reunion with our babies💙💗
I can’t recommend this class enough. Fantastic value for money and Freya really is one of the nicest people I’ve met. read less
