There was so much useful advice and insights given by Freya that we didn’t think about booking a weekend birth class anymore (which is the common way to do it here in Germany/Berlin)! The way she presented all the background information didn’t feel like an online video at all but very personal and fondly with the right amount of humour here and there. The classes calmed me down and left us as a couple relaxed, reassured and well prepared for the birth of our first child.
We would highly recommend her classes to anyone (even to non-natives). Just brilliant! read less

The classes were really useful and informative. Gemma was a brilliant teacher very friendly and knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions or concerns any of the group had.

I was a bit apprehensive about going at first but I walked away from the first session looking forward to the next one.
I found the whole experience very informative and it prepared me more than I could have ever imagined.
The classes were very relaxed and actually quite fun with an added bonus of some delicious sweet treats and snacks 😁
It’s also a great way to get to know people going through the same thing and pick up tips and tricks on how to deal with pregnancy.
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anybody.
Thank you once again Freya for making our birth experience so great. read less

We were recommended these classes by family. They were absolutely brilliant. The information provided was so relevant and helpful. Freya is lovely and has a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Freya’s classes were informative, interactive and fun. My birthing experience was positive due to the preparation and knowledge gained in expecting. Thank you Freya.

We had a great time on the course and left it much better prepared for the birth of our first child... And second. Freya has a warm welcome, and maintains fantastic energy throuout the course making it as entertaining as it is informative. Skip forward 7 years and some friends of mine are expecting, I couldn't be happier that they've enrolled onto an expecting course with Freya, and I'm really looking forward to hearing all about it when I see them next. read less

Freya is extremely knowledgable, very approachable and friendly and has developed really useful, educational classes that will help first time parents understand what to expect from labour, birth and the early days of parenting. The classes were full of lots of useful information and advice. We had quite a complicated delivery but managed to stay calm thanks to understanding what was going on from the classes. Freya was even very supportive via text whilst I was in labour which was above and beyond what we could have expected.

The advice and support given by Sarah was fantastic, and she made us feel a lot less anxious about the upcoming labour.

Non of that sitting round on the floor doing breathing exercises like I was dreading just up-to-date practical information about pregnancy, birth and baby care. Time was also made during the classes to let you get to know the other people there. The antenatal girls and I still meet up regularly with the kids (now all 3 years old) and they were a lifesaver in those early days with little babies when you need to speak to someone who totally understands what you’re going though. I found Freya’s list of local baby groups invaluable too, it lived on my fridge for east reference for a good couple of years! I also attended one NHS class at Stafford Hospital which was extremely confusing and the people delivering seemed unable to answer any questions asked. Having attended this I did not go back to anymore NHS classes and I was even more grateful that i’d already attended Freya’s Expecting Classes! Would recommend without reservation. read less

Being from a medical background, myself and my husband were quite skeptical about antenatal classes and had heard varying reports about the advice given, and knowledge imparted, in other antenatal groups. Freya is extremely knowledgeable about the process involved with ‘having a baby’ and the current medical evidence and advice for parents to be. She is not at all militant and by no means pushes you into feeling like you must do one thing or the other when it comes to you, the childbirth and your baby.

They guide you through every eventuality and prepare you for whatever you may face during labour. Ours wasn't straight forward, but thanks to the classes we knew what to expect at every stage, which made things much less stressful than they would have been otherwise.

I wanted to recap as technics change. Therefore both myself and my 10 year old daughter went along. Over the 4 week course we learnt about what to expect during pregnancy and afterwards covering all aspects, this was very informative and was also supported with Videos and hand outs which you can also find on the website using your membership log on. Also I have met a fabulous network of Ladies and Gents who are sharing this fabulous journey together.
Our group are very lucky as we have had the founder who has lead our group. Thank you Freya for a brilliant course, with your expertise you have prepared both Bella and I for our next journey. read less

Throughout the sessions we learnt all about labour, pain relief, feeding your baby and about life after birth. Freya made the sessions so informative but in such a personal way where we could ask questions and chat to other parents to be.
It was really great to meet others, who were in the same position as us, and hear all about their babies after the course! We are really looking forward to catching up at the reunion in March! read less

We came away from the classes feeling informed, but not overwhelmed with information. We both thoroughly enjoyed the classes, and felt that all areas were covered and more, and any questions asked by the group were answered. Freya understands how new parents are feeling from not only a professional point of view but also a personal point of view and she is happy to share her experiences from both. read less

Unsure of what to expect we were apprehensive before the first class, however Freya was so welcoming and quickly put us at ease. The classes were very informative and involved lots of discussion and chances to get to know the other couples in the group, without any dreaded role plays or embarrassing videos in sight! We’re still in touch with the other parents and it’s lovely to see our babies all growing up together. I would highly recommend any expectant parent to sign up to these classes as you won’t be disappointed. read less

Doing the course for a second time with knowing what to expect with giving birth, I still took away more knowledge and understanding which maybe I missed on my first course, so just goes to show how wonderful the expecting classes are. Freya is also so helpful, no question is silly and you can ask Freya anything about your pregnancy and you will get brilliant expert advice and not feel under pressure like you do sometimes during your checks ups with midwifes at your surgery. Freya keep up the excellent work of expecting, I can’t recommend highly enough and that’s not just to parents of first borns. Thank you for all you help � read less
