Imagine having an entire afternoon dedicated to you, your pregnancy and your baby...
Taking time out for yourself and your growing baby is so important during pregnancy.

You know you want to relax more.
And you definitely know you'd like to sleep better.

Meet your experts
Hey, I'm Emma.
Multi Award winning Hypnobirthing teacher, mother of two and the founder of Blooming Births.
I take a holistic and evidence based approach to birth, and pride myself on offering bespoke Hypnobirthing courses, developed after years of extensive training.
I know preparing for birth can come with it's fair share of worries and 'what ifs'.
I'm here to support you to feel calm, confident and totally empowered.
Hello my name is Jane Johnston. I trained as a nurse and a midwife, working in the NHS for over 40 years.
I developed an interest for Yoga in my early 20s which has continued throughout my life. Yoga has benefitted me personally, maintaining my functional fitness and mental health.
Since I have retired, I had the opportunity to develop my interest further through training to be a Yoga teacher at Newcastle Yoga School. I love teaching and sharing my passion for Yoga.
