A Message from Helen "As a mum of 3, I was fortunate to experience hypnosis during my pregnancies (my eldest son Tom is now 16) and I regularly used aromatherapy and massage: I benefited enormously from these wonderful therapies. I also massaged my children as babies and sometimes still do (especially Robert who is 13 and states he has to have a back massage because of all the heavy books he takes to school! He also manages to get frequent reflexology by fluttering his eye-lashes....!) I am lucky that Beth (12) massages me! I feel that during your pregnancy and labour, and following delivery, you are at the beginning of a journey of nurturing and creating an important bond that will last a lifetime. Becoming a parent is a life-enhancing experience that can also be stressful and demanding. Positive Pregnancy has been developed to help you through this transition. I aim to provide a service that will enrich your pregnancy, birth and early parenting experience. All sessions focus on delivering individualised care, with a natural and caring approach, to meet your needs and enhance you and your baby’s wellbeing."
