Christmas Pregnancy Retreat Day

Pregnancy Retreat Day - Christmas Edition! 

Sunday 11th December - 10:30 am - 4pm

Group Retreat with no more than 7 women

£157 per person 

Come join me, Jessica Ord - birth educator, hypnobirthing specialist & Women's Wellbeing practitioner, for a day focussed purely on you and your baby - leaving you feeling rested, relaxed and calm ahead of the Christmas holidays. 

This retreat is being held at my exclusive country Farmhouse venue, where every detail has been carefully thought of so that you can simply arrive, unwind and treat the place as your own for the day. Set in 100 acres of idylic Northumbrian countryside and farmland, you'll be able to take a cosy wrapped up walk along the river or through the woods. Have a natter with your fellow pregnanct Mama's by the AGA and cosy up by the log burning fire in the Snug whilst learning invaluable relaxation techniques, focussing in on your body, your emotions and, of course, your baby. 

During the course of this special day we'll be taking time to focus on how you are feeling during your pregnancy, your feelings around birth, learning from Jessica about how your body works during labour, the history around birth (or should I say HER-story..!) as well as learning some of the basics around Hypnobirthing and you can utilise this fantsatic tool during your pregnancy, birth and Motherhood. 

We'll begin the day with a sharing/ journaling circle (with warm mugs of cinnamon (decaf!) lattes, hot chocolates, speciality teas (or good old Yorkshire!) in hand. A light breakfast of croissants, patries and fruit will be provided. During this circle we'll be gently exploring how we're finding pregnancy (both physically and mentally), and providing each other with a loving, listening ear. Never underestimate the power of feeling held, supported and heard by your fellow Women! 

As the day progresses we'll be exploring the ways our ancestors used to approach and birth their babies, and how this has come to change over the years. It may sound 'bookish', but trust me - knowing where we have come from in terms of birth, and WHY birth has become this big, overwhelming and scary prospect - make such a huge difference to how we percieve our own capabilities. 

We'll have a 'mini' antental session, where you'll learn all about how your body works during birth, and how you can help it to do it's thing - making birth safer, easier and more fulfilling. 

Before lunch we'll learn some simple but highly effective relaxation techniques, ending with a guided meditation by the fire. 

Lunch will be provided; a deli style lunch from 'Yummy Mummy' hotspot Carnaby's Cafe - dietary preferences taken on booking. '1 protein (gourmet sausage roll/ quiche/ pie) plus 2 salads per person, plus festive treats afterwards. Hot and cold beverages included throughout the day. 

After lunch, weather dependent, we'll take a stroll around the ground of the farm - taking in some fresh air, whilst talking through ways you can incorporate relaxation into your everyday (as well as just having a good old natter amoungst yourselves!)

During the afternoon there will be the opportunity to indulge in a Pregnancy Massage; this is available through a local therapist who will be joining us at the Farmhouse, and will be priced at an additional £80 (PLEASE SELECT THIS OPTION ON CHECKOUT!) 

The rest of the afternoon will be focussed on furthering your relaxation through Hypnobirthing guided relaxations, exploring accupressure (with the aid of a Wave Comb , which you'll get to take home with you), self massage techniques and exploring the different comfort measures you have available to you during labour. 

I can't wait for you to join me during this special day - a truly once in a lifetime experience to leave you feeling rested, relaxed and SUPER festive!
