Often called mums and Bubs classes, Sarah continues the evolving journey of pregnancy into parenthood.  Through yoga Sarah teaches parents to sit with their babies, watch their babies and wonder and delight in the evolution of how we as humans learn, progress and express ourselves.

Postnatal care is a process to support new parents’ transition to parenthood. Balancing:

●  Rebuilding strength after birth,

●  Learn how to manage home life

●  Introducing your new baby to your family.

●  Building parent resilience

Sarah uses yoga, nursery nursing and montessori training to build a healthy and well balanced routine that will support you through the 4th trimester (birth to 6 weeks).

How can yoga help?


From birth to 6 weeks Sarah teaches gentle movement and awareness to bring a sense of self and embodiment back.
Gradually this progress from 6 – 12 weeks after birth, Sarah introduces more dynamic movement and breath practices in the routine.
These yoga sessions are tailor made to each person so that all or any postpartum issues can be accounted for with care.

After 12 weeks Sarah encourages group yoga classes for mums and bubs, possibly a mothers group.
Creating a space for new mums to connect and share their love of yoga – with time to share and talk though ideas, issues that relate to a growing parents needs.

How does Nursery Nursing help?

Nursery nursing is used to support parents:

●  Build a healthy routine at home

●  Support breast feeding or weaning

●  Support and advice on introducing baby to a family

●  Teach different play ideas and massage to babies 0-12 months

●  Encourage boundary setting

●  Support and advice with sleep issues

 

Nursery nursing care is often home based so Sarah gets a clear understanding of how you are managing parenting and home life.
Her practice is 1:1 with a consultation and two follow ups in quick succession to benefit the most out of her support.

Montessori Education


Sarah brings montessori philosophy into her postnatal care packages because it builds good routine and independence.
Learn how to create independence for your children at home:

●  How to organise play area

●  How to create areas of pease and play for each child at home

●  Learn how to watch without interruption

●  Learn how to guide and direct, rather than take over

●  Learn how to let accidents and mistakes be playful and a learning process

●  Learn simple practical life play and sensorial play at home.

Sarah’s postnatal care packages are based on a journey rather than a quick fix.
They are given with care, dedication and understanding to each unique family and their needs.
They are based on lifestyle and wellness changes and adaptations by a family to bring balance and harmony into a home.
They are not medically accredited – so any health issues mentally or physically need to be seen by the correct physician.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN A GROUP POST-NATAL CARE CLASS

Sarah incorporates her background in early childhood and Montessori training into these classes.  If parents can sit back and wonder how and who their babies are (ie how their babies communicate in their world) parents will be more able to build healthy boundaries for learning, letting go of control and nurture their babies into healthy adults.

Sarah’s philosophy in class is that as soon as we give birth we have to learn to let go.

By letting go of control over another person (baby) we allow that baby (person) to grow into the person they are.  Not the person we might want them to be.  The only way parents will know who their baby is (as a person) is by watching, interacting with their baby and letting their baby interact back.

A healthy environment allows for change, adaption, reflection and progression.  Not just for a parent but also for a baby to thrive into adulthood.

Attachment and bonding are two separate things.  They both play a huge roll in class, to help teach caregivers what a healthy environment is and what healthy communication skills are when bringing up children.

A parent who has bonded to their baby knows when to give, care for and nurture bubs.  They can read the signals and act accordingly.

A healthy attachment is when a baby has learnt to live knowing that their needs are met when needed, and is consistent when asked for.

A strong attachment is also shown when a baby can comfortably move away from its caregiver knowing that they will be there when they go back (to care giver).

Sarah’s understanding of this is taught practically through class – during yoga asana, mediation and the practice of mindfulness.  It also helps Sarah to listen and learn about her students so she can implement enough support needed during class and outside help if required.
