“I absolutely loved attending Nikki’s yoga sessions! Nikki is a fantastic teacher and was a great support throughout my pregnancy. I enjoyed learning the different breathing techniques and used the ‘hummingbird’ technique during labour to cope with the contractions and to keep myself and my baby calm. The greatest gift Nikki taught me was not to be afraid but to trust that my body and baby know what to do. I strongly believe this helped me to have my positive birth experience. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the active birth workshop. We gained invaluable knowledge and information which we used to create my birth preferences. We also felt more comfortable to ask questions compared to the NHS antenatal class we attended. I miss going to the classes but I’m really excited to be starting Nikki’s baby massage in April with my bundle of love. I highly recommend Nikki’s classes to anyone who would like to enjoy the excitement of pregnancy in a positive and fun environment” (Pregnancy Yoga and Workshop student)

 

“Nikki’s yoga classes are fab. I started attending her pregnancy yoga classes back in April and found that they offered the perfect opportunity to stretch, relax and take some time out to connect with baby. Nikki offers invaluable support and advice and I really looked forward to the class each week. The cup of tea and opportunity to chat at the end is just the icing on the cake! My husband and I also participated in an active birth session with Nikki which was really helpful in terms of refreshing our knowledge on the various stages of labour and birth and learning some very helpful tips to deal with labour. The golden thread breath Nikki teaches was the main thing that got me through labour.
I am currently attending a post-natal yoga and baby massage class with Nikki and I can also highly recommend this class. Each week Nikki focuses on what us mums feel we need most from the class and the gentle stretches are just perfect. My little one also loves the baby massage we do at the end of each class and it is so lovely to learn simple massage techniques we can also do at home” (Pregnancy/Post-Natal Yoga and Workshop student)

 

“My little bubble’s Nikki is lovely, very warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable in all matters related to pregnancy and beyond. I wish I had used her instead of NCT! 
Her classes are both fun, practical but above all relaxing, using hypnosis to use in birth. Enjoy the classes ladies! I highly recommend xxx” (Pregnancy Yoga student)

 

“Thanks to your Active Birth Workshop and Yoga classes I coped really well with just gas and air and water! John was absolutely amazing with massage and breathing techniques, so thank you so much for teaching us how to have such a positive birth!”

 

“It was a good reminder of what is to come and, despite having been through it 3 times before, it was useful to remind me of my role during the birth and to give some techniques I can use to support my wife through the birth. I had feared that the workshop would be a bit on the “hippy” side and I cant say I was looking forward to it, but it was very helpful, practical, not at all on the hippy side, and certainly worthwhile.”

 

“The Workshop for couples was great, especially for my husband. He felt more confident afterwards and it was great to meet other dads. Also good for him to see what I’ve been up to every Monday evening at Yoga! I loved the positions and learning about the stages of labour, and there were lots of opportunities to ask questions”

 

“Labour was at least 24 hours, but thanks to your amazing classes and workshop, I managed to go all the way through drug free! With the help of some very loud ‘o’ sounds, squatting and the birthing pool! And I think staying calm through yoga breathing helped to keep him from getting distressed, his blood pressure remained the same throughout!
In the end after 2 hours of pushing I had to get on the bed with stirrups but just because he was back to back and he needed a little help getting out!
Thank you from Vicki, Loz and Theo.xxx”

 

” Very interesting to learn about the shape of the pelvis and how it is so well designed for birth, also how different positions using gravity can impact labour. The workshop was a great environment for the men! not intimidating!”

 

“I found the workshop informal and friendly. It was great to meet other dads-to-be. I found the birthing positions very interesting. We were given a chance to socialise at the end which was brilliant”
