“My husband and I attended a workshop, and I honestly can say it was the best way we could have prepared ourselves for welcoming our first baby.

It was so informative and we felt it was a safe space to ask all of our silly questions that we may have been reluctant to ask in a bigger group setting.

We now have a greater understanding of labour and birth, which will prepare us for forming our birth plan in the coming weeks. The practical skills we learnt for using the birthing ball and ways in which the birth partner can provide support throughout the labour will stand to us when the big day arrives.

A fabulous experience.

Thank you Caitriona”

“Recently, we attended the Bump & Beyond workshop which we absolutely loved. As first-time parents, we felt that we needed a face-to-face workshop to discuss all things pregnancy to fully understand it all and ask the questions that we wanted.

Caitriona was amazing as she discussed pregnancy symptoms, massage techniques for pain relief, using the inflatable ball for pelvic pain and during labour and many more tips that helped calm any nerves we had about labour.

I would highly recommend this workshop for any parents as it has really helped us to understand and feel empowered when it comes to pregnancy and giving birth. Thank you so much Caitriona!”

“We both really appreciated hearing your experience with both your babies, and how open and honest the class was. I find that being pregnant everyone is fit to give their opinion but your workshop highlighted choice and not being afraid to speak up for what you want.

But honestly the workshop was fab, we both loved it.”

“Myself and my mum attended Caitriona’s workshop on Saturday and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended for first time mums. Everything was covered and Caitriona made the experience very relaxing and enjoyable. Straight to the point and covers everything from a natural birth to an emergency situation. We also enjoyed our snacks at break time which were provided by the local bakery. Thanks again Caitriona and good luck with your future workshops.”

“I was lucky enough to be able to attend an Active Birthing Workshop held by Caitriona before the birth of my first baby. 

Caitriona creates such a welcoming environment, her knowledge and genuine passion were evident from the start. The warm and inclusive atmosphere ensured all participants felt comfortable and supported throughout the entire workshop.

The workshop content was comprehensive, covering topics from relaxation techniques to various birthing positions and exercises tailored specifically for pregnant women. Caitriona teaches you how to work with your body during labour and childbirth, making me feel much more confident and in control of the process. Questions were welcomed, no question was too basic or too specific. Caitriona normalises all aspects of child birth, which as a first time mum I was clueless about and really appreciated. My favourite part of the workshop was the real life examples and the practical take always of what to do in any situation. Caitriona really emphasised the although a birth may not go as originally planned, it can still be a great experience. 

Since attending the workshop, I feel much more equipped to handle the challenges that lie ahead with a calm mindset, knowing that I can draw on the valuable techniques discussed during the workshop when the time comes. The materials provided were informative and useful, making it easy to refer back to key elements of the course. 

Thank you to Caitriona for your thoughtful, informative and really useful workshop! Both my partner and I came away from the workshop feeling really positive about what lies ahead! Thank you”

“I attended Caitriona’s antenatal workshop on a beautiful sunny day and her wholesome nature and kindness radiates through the beautiful space she has created for her classes.

The Workshop is the perfect blend of ‘new thinking’ with a practical and professional slant which is bolstered by lovely stories about Caitriona’s own experiences as a mum, that is so authentic.

I couldn’t recommend this class more to any mums and dads to be.

“My husband and I are expecting our first baby and recently attended a birth workshop with Caitriona, and it was brilliant from start to finish. Caitriona is so lovely and made us feel very welcome from the outset, her studio is a lovely little safe space to discuss all things birth and baby related. Caitriona covered every element of pregnant and birth, and drew on her own experiences which gave us a deeper understanding of birth and how each woman’s experience is different. Being able to do this workshop face to face was fantastic, it was interactive for both of us and gave us the chance to practically develop tools and skills to assist with pregnant and birth. Attending the workshop has left us feeling a lot more confident and excited for the remainder of our pregnancy journey and birth.”
