Thank you Freya

Thank you very much for your amazing classes Freya! It has been highly informative, engaging and enjoyable. For anyone thinking of joining we couldn’t recommend these enough as you will get all the info you need for your pregnancy journey. We now feel really confident and comfortable with what to expect going forward so thank you once again Freya not only for your classes but for all the info you constantly provide us with.

Absolutely Amazing!

Freya's classes were amazing and so informative! We definitely wouldn't of known as much as we do now without her help! It was amazing to be able to go into an environment that both teaches us and allows us to ask any questions without feeling judged. I knew that after finishing the last class I would miss attending as it was something I looked forward to every week! It was also great to meet others who were in the same boat and share our different experiences. I honestly couldn't recommend Freya enough, if you are thinking about joining the classes go for it, you won't regret it! Not to mention the added bonus of yummy snacks and drinks at each session! 😊

Me and my partner signed up for Freya's classes and before we went we were super nervous at the same time excited for our little one to come. After the classes we feel more confident and even more excited now for our little one! The classes are really informative and she doesn’t miss a thing, you feel confident to ask questions and don’t feel bad to do so. I recommend everyone to book it.

Freya’s Expecting Antenatal classes…

Freya’s Expecting Antenatal classes were fantastic!! Me and my husband attended and were naturally worried first time parents who want the best for our child. We had a very positive birth experience and Freya’s advice and support definitely had a positive influence on this. Freya is very knowledgable, person centred and is very passionate about her support. We loved that the classes were held in Cannock as it was 5 -10 minutes from our home which is great when pregnant! I would definitely return to Freya if we want to grow our family in future.

Hypnobirthing experience

Two years ago when I had my first baby I took Expecting Antenatal classes with Freya and Hypnobirthing online class. It helped me so much, that now when I was pregnant with my second baby I decided to take Hypnobirthing class again. I used breathing techniques in labor, but what helped me the most were positive affirmations and audio meditations (especially "Magic carpet" and "Colour") that I practiced before going to bed. I believe that doing Hypnobirthing class helped me to have very positive labor and postnatal experience with both my children. I had pain but didn't have fear, and was really well prepared mentally. Thank you very much Freya 😊

Freya's antenatal classes were…

Freya's antenatal classes were incredibly helpful and reassuring. We felt like we knew very little before doing the 2 day course and left feeling a lot more confident and calm. She really goes above and beyond and is happy to answer any individual questions you have even outside the class hours.
I also really enjoyed the Hypnobirthing course and even find it helpful after the birth!

Cheers!

Couldn't reccomend Freya's classes enough! Myself and my husband panicked we hadn't done any antenatal classes and had left it quite late but I am so glad that we did as we would of never come to these classes as not in our local area the crags course over the weekend was intense and full of information but fun and relaxed and everyone was so friendly no question left unanswered. Doctor Google can get a little bit out of hand and increase anxieties where as Freya gave information based of facts statistics and her personal and professional experience that was invaluable. Unfortunately we couldn't attend the reunion due to RSV but the group still stay in touch and it has been so good to work through our brith experiences realising we are not alone especially during the baby blues! Thank you again Freya, cheers to breastfeeding and having a wine tonight ❤️

Fantastic!

So pleased we booked these classes! My husband and I attended antenatal classes with Freya and the hypnobirthing class and have found both to be so useful in preparations, birth and beyond. Going into labour, I felt so prepared thanks to the knowledge shared by Freya and equipped with techniques to use throughout each stage. Now we have our gorgeous baby boy it's so helpful to look back at the notes from the classes to remind ourselves of what to expect as the days go on and how to bath baby, nappy change etc. Freya is amazing and I know I can message if I'm not sure about anything and be given valuable advice. Thank you Freya!

We would highly recommend attending…

We would highly recommend attending Freya’s Expecting classes. As new first-time parents, we were extremely excited but apprehensive about the journey we were about to go on. Freya’s course filled us with knowledge and confidence. The small group, face to face setting was perfect to make friends in the same situation whilst gaining skills and learning vital information about what to expect during pregnancy, labour and life after the birth. The course was led by Freya, who was amazing, an experienced midwife with lots of tips to share and a wealth of up to date knowledge. We are so glad we attended the course and felt much more prepared heading into parenthood and found ourself repeating the phrase ‘remember, Freya said…’🤣. Thank you for your continued support and advice, Freya, it is much appreciated.

Can’t recommend Freya enough!

Me and my partner attended Freya’s antenatal classes at the beginning of August and couldn’t recommend the classes enough! This is our first baby and so we didn’t know what to expect and the classes were so informative and useful, they also allowed us to meet other couples that were expecting which was nice! Freya is so approachable and lovely and nothing is ever too much! We also booked onto Freya’s hypnobirthing workshop, which we also felt was really useful and is something we practiced in labour! All round great experience!

Freya is who every new parent needs!

As first time parents, with no real experience with babies!, James and I were desperate to find somebody to hold our hands. Freya has done just that. Freya is a calming, fair, supportive friend who offers easy to digest, encouraging and realistic advice to help you during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. We attended her expecting antenatal classes which we recommend to anyone we know who is expecting. The antenatal course provided us with all the information we needed to go into birth feeling confident. Each session was informative, relaxed and allowed us as a couple to chat about what we would both feel comfortable with during the birth but also in our roles postpartum! Freya has stayed as a massive support postpartum and we’re very much looking forward to attending her baby yoga class soon! We really could not recommend Freya and the community she has created more. - James and Alice

Can't recommend Freya enough!

Can't recommend Freya enough. We ended up doing her hypnobirthing course, antenatal classes, baby massage and have signed up for baby yoga too!
The antenatal classes were so useful prior to the birth of our son and helped us feel as prepared as we could. The best part has been how friendly, approachable and informative Freya has been. Having had a few difficulties in the first few weeks after he was born, Freya has listened to my rants, offered suggestions and recommendations and, most importantly for me ,created such a lovely community for new and expectant parents. I'd be lost if it weren't for the classes!!

Freya is amazing!

Freya has been, and continues to be, amazing and such a massive support, both pre and post birth. The course is so informative, and gives lots of clear answers for first time parents, where we found advice from the NHS to be vague and unclear. Dads are included as much as Mums, and there are no cringey group breathing exercises. We would highly recommend this and all of Freya's classes for first-time parents.

SUPERB!

SUPERB! I attended Freya’s hypnobirthing class with my husband and we found it so incredibly useful! She’s full of so much knowledge and information but made it really accessible. The class was really relaxing and we feel really positive about the birth. THANK YOU!

Very informative classes

We really enjoyed attending the antenatal classes and found them very informative. Freya creates a very relaxed environment where you feel comfortable to ask questions and discuss any concerns you have. We would really recommend the Expecting classes, they are really worth it!

Freya is great

Freya is great! Her classes are informative without being intimidating. She has so much knowledge and experience and doesn’t for d her opinion on you. She has loads of advice to give. Our classes were gifted to us from my Sister in Law as she also found her so great. Would 100% recommend Freya to anyone expecting!

Superb Classes and Support

The classes were brilliant. Very interactive filled with lots of information that has proved extremely useful. The ongoing support and openness of the group leader is brilliant and somewhat invaluable.

Highly recommend anyone expecting a baby to attend one of these courses. An absolute bargain for what is provided.

Baby Massage and Yoga

A comfortable safe space where I was able to enjoy and learn something new with my baby. Felt it helped us bond and make bad days turn into good ones. It was lovely to meet other Mums and share our experiences and stories together.
I will miss my Mondays with Freya and our group!
Definitely would recommend to any new Mum or Dad.
