Botanical Bump

I attended a couples workshop recently and could not reccomend more highly. Asha is lovely and so knowledgeable not only about the benefits of the array of oils on offer but all aspects of pregnancy and birth. She covered helpful massage techniques, reflexology and was more than happy to answer questions. Birth partners were able to practice some learned methods and get involved in creating personalised, beautifully smelling products to take away. The information regarding the benefits of each oil have been made available to us to use at home and Asha has taken a full history to inform of any oils to avoid and why. The venue, mocktails and cakes were luxurious and after a really relaxing morning I felt all the couples left feeling more excited than nervous about the birth of their little ones. Certainly not just for the expectant mums and absolutely worth doing!

An absolute must for all expectant mums, highly recommended! Led by the passionate and exceptionally knowledgable Asha who is a very experienced midwife herself. A wonderful workshop learning all about complimentary therapies including massage and reflexology (had a lovely relaxing reflexology demo too). We then got to create our own unique oils depending on what oils we liked and what desired effect we wanted from the oils such as pain relief, relaxation, heartburn relief etc. We completed a questionnaire about our pregnancy before the workshop to enable Asha to make individualised recommendations about what oils would benefit us specific to our pregnancy and needs. It was fun and enjoyable to be able to create the oils which we then got to take home. All products are a good quality from the reputable Neals Yard. We also got to enjoy delicious cake and mocktails during our session. I learnt so much from this workshop and will take my products with me when I go into labour and I feel confident that they will improve my overall birth experience. Asha gave us lots of tips and advice. We have received handouts since the session also with all the information on to refer back to whenever we need it. I felt that this course was excellent value for money when you take into account all the excellent quality products you get to make and take away. I really can’t recommend this workshop enough - I’d definitely do it all over again in a future pregnancy.

One of a kind workshop! Loved smelling all the oils and finding out what they’re good for before making my own facial spritz, massage oil and roller ball. Also lots of midwife tips for pregnancy and birth.Amazing venue, fab mocktails and snacks too - what’s not to like?!.
