Freya is incredibly welcoming, she instantly puts you at ease and it’s great for partners to attend the class. You learn so much and no question is too weird or not been asked before!

But the best part of the entire class, is the friends you make following it. During the course, we would have small talk between the couples - now, 5 months after the birth, I have friends for life! Maternity leave is far from lonely, we meet weekly to share birth stories, baby changes, home life and most importantly how WE are feeling. Not only have I made friends for life, my little girl has babies her age she will grow up with.

Honestly, the best money you will ever spend. From start to finish and beyond, it’s the best decision we ever made! read less

In the 4 sessions, we gained so much knowledge and, as first time parents, feel a lot more confident in all things baby! Freya is great- very supportive and able to answer all questions. The sessions are practical but fun too.
Would definitely recommend! read less

Freya not only provided 4 useful videos, but plenty of print outs with more information. We also attended the hypnobirthing class which I 100% recommend if you want to feel more relaxed and prepared for your labour day! Freya also provided a 1-1 Zoom call where she spoke to us at length with plenty of more tips and advice, which we were super greatful for. Would definitely recommend her courses! Thank you.

We’d been debating whether we needed to go to an antenatal class but decided pretty late on we should just go, and as such struggled to find a class we could complete before 38 weeks. When we found Freya we were delighted to see she offered a single day option and booked immediately.Freya explained things really well and was keen to get us to engage and ask any questions we had. We both came out feeling far more prepared than we did going in and we’d highly recommend both the Expecting classes and doing it in a day session! read less

Not only for the structured course content which genuinely helped us so much, but for the extra support outside of classes too. I felt so much more prepared and empowered for labour as a first-timer based on knowledge from the classes that would never have occurred to me, but I also got to meet a fantastic bunch of people and I think we've all really enjoyed celebrating each of our arrivals and sharing our experiences/advice so far. Gemma has been a true legend and was ultimately the first person to know I was in labour after I reached out to her for advice when I couldn't get through to the hospital straight away. Her knowledge, help and support can't be underestimated!! Can't wait for the group reunion! read less

Gemma is fantastic and there are no awkward role play activities. As a first time mum these classes are the only training you get and I’m so glad I decided to enrol! read less

I've attended with both my pregnancies, hosted by both Freya and Gemma, and can say wholeheartedly that I found the information invaluable. The sessions are comfortable, laid back and super informative. Whilst you can read all this stuff in your baby books or online, having it collated and explained to you by midwives is so much better! With my first child, I found the information easy to absorb and crucial to how I handled labour and recovery. The support network this last time round has been comforting, too, having the group just a txt away has been really handy.
It's not just a bunch of 'mum stuff' either, the partners are really involved and considered throughout the sessions. And most importantly, there's tea and biscuits! read less

I walked in feeling nervous and really not knowing a thing but left feeling much more confident and prepared. Freya is very open minded and talked about all different options for everything without any forced opinions which I thought was fantastic. We also left with access to all the content covered in the class which I will be looking at again closer to birth. Freya also sets up a group chat for all the mums and is always open to any questions etc which is so helpful particularly when it's your first! I can't recommend these classes enough. My husband and I were extremely impressed. So, if your looking for a class I would definitely go with Expecting! read less

I found Freya's classes enabled me to prepare for my birthing experience in a relaxed environment and with someone who is experienced and knowledgeable - not just pages of notes from Google filled with jargon. Freya takes her time to explain everything you need to know (often using visuals to help) and addresses common misconceptions so that you can make the best and most informed choices - both pre and post birth. I also loved that Freya was available to speak to as well; this was a wonderful added extra and meant that any questions I had after the classes were answered. I cannot thank Freya enough for her advice and guidance - especially the advice on getting through labour. Whilst I was in labour, many of Freya's techniques were mentioned by my midwife (another amazing woman in the field) and so I felt empowered that these methods were going to get me and my little family through the birthing experience. Thank you, Freya. Keep doing what you're doing because it made a difference for me and it will continue to do so for many more expectant mothers. ❤️ X read less

These are now running in person (as Covid restrictions have lifted) but there is an online option for you to access them from anywhere in the world! I can't tell you how useful they've all been! We were sceptical about the hypnobirthing but really enjoyed it & have taken away some valuable tips and definitely recommend anyone giving it a go!The antenatal classes have put us very much at ease and definitely helped to prepare us for what may come our way from birth & early parenthood. The course is very well structured and easy to follow. We felt very comfortable at the classes and found it a great opportunity to ask any questions (both in person, via text during the week, or via a WhatsApp group for all the parents on the course). Freya was able to answer any questions that we had, as well as offer great advice and point us in the right direction if there was additional information that we wanted. The course was also a great opportunity to speak to other parents too, and to realise that we aren't alone on this journey.We highly recommend Freya, and are very grateful for her time, support & the resources that she provided (and of course the great snacks too) 😀. Thank you!! read less

When we arrived to the antenatal class, Freya was warm and welcoming and everyone in the class was instantly at ease. The sessions are so informative and we learnt information we expected to but also so much more! Her approach towards leading the class is amazing you never feel like any questions is too silly and she really takes her time to listen to everyone. We came away from every session really amazed by how much knowledge we had gained without it being information overload.
The hypnobirthing class was via zoom - which gave us the privacy to practise the techniques in the comfort of our own home without feeling embarrassed doing it in front of other people. I really found everything I learnt in hypnobirthing beneficial it really gave me something to focus on in both latent and active labour and also when it came to push! Overall I would really recommend these classes to anyone expecting!! read less

The videos were very informative, and the zoom chats added additional helpful information that wasn't repeated from the videos, so i would highly recommend the online classes.

I wasn't sure hypnobirthing would be something I really benefited from, but was willing to give it (anything) a go. The class actually had a very pragmatic approach that I enjoyed and found really relaxing.

Overall the classes have helped us feel more prepared, and i would recommend them to anyone. The fact you can message Freya after and ask any questions that pop up is really helpful too and going the extra mile.

Thanks Freya - Mat & Kelly 😊 read less

We really enjoyed Freya’s weekend of online classes and learnt so many tips that we would not have even considered. The resources available to download are also great tools to refer back to and it’s brilliant to have access to these for the next few months when I am sure they will be very much needed. read less
