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.
Between juggling work, appointments and trying to prepare for your upcoming birth, it can feel like there's always a decision or choice to be made.
You know you want to relax more.
And you definitely know you'd like to sleep better.
You want to start feeing more calm and relaxed for your birth but it feels hard to find the time.
Our gorgeous pregnancy retreats have been designed with all of this in mind.
Held in collaboration with a local retired midwife, we can't wait to welcome you into this beautiful space at Gosforth Garden Village Association.
Spaces to these special events always sell out quickly, so don't miss out!
You'll leave your 3 hour retreat experience feeling refreshed, restored and totally relaxed ahead of your baby's birth.
Join us and other mums to be for a truly nurturing and relaxing afternoon.
Your relaxing sanctuary...
Our beautiful pregnancy retreats are centered around you, giving you the calm space you need to really slow down, rest and relax.
With gorgeous added extras to enhance and enrich your experience, you'll leave your afternoon with us feeling so well looked after.

Making the time for relaxation in pregnancy has so many incredible benefits for both you and your baby.
Including improving your overall wellbeing, increasing the chances of you going into labour naturally and helping you to feel more connected to your baby, relaxation can also help to:
-
Lower any stress or anxiety you might be feeling
-
Lower your heart rate and blood pressure
-
Help you to get a good nights sleep
-
Decrease your chances of experiencing postnatal complications, such as postnatal depression
Our pregnancy retreats have been designed with all of this in mind, giving you the calm space you need to nurture your wellbeing, connect with your baby and build powerful tools for labour and birth.

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.
