Pregnancy supplements-a must have for every pregnant mum
Purermama
Essence capsules have been recently noted as one of the BEST pregnancy supplements in The Evening Standard
Karen Joash who is one of London’s leading and most dedicated Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist saw a gap when it came to UK supplements for pregnant woman. She says, “we have decades of combined experience in taking care of women and babies throughout pregnancy and beyond. We saw that despite traditional pregnancy supplements, women still developed deficiencies or couldn’t source optimal supplements to meet their and the baby’s needs. With the correct nutritional support, we saw our mothers and babies thrive and recover well. We realised our formulas had a positive impact on their strength, energy levels, physical health and recovery; This drove our passion and vision to strengthen, protect and nourish the journey of pregnancy, birth and recovery to launch powerful nutritional supplements with a difference.” To purchase some amazing products for pregnancy, visit: Purermamma website.

HypnoBirthing classes
Brighter Birthing with Leanne
Hypnobirthing classes with Leanne who has over 7 years experience.
Going with the flow is a great attitude to have in birth, but only works if your birth runs smoothly. If your birthing journey takes an unexpected turn, as happens so often, you need to feel you and your birth partner can navigate it with confidence and work as a team with your caregivers. Birth should be something you are a part of, not something that happens to you.
Brighter Birthing Hypnobirthing courses talk through all your options, both medical and natural, for whatever birth you’re hoping for. They teach simple techniques to help you calm yourself in the moment and they discuss birth physiology so you understand what is happening to your body and can work with it.
With over 7 years experience and hundreds of couples taught in this time, they know hand on heart that birth education ALWAYS makes a difference, whatever birth you plan for.
Their personalised approach ensures their classes are as unique as you and your baby."
