What Our Mum’s Say!

“Karen was so knowledgeable and provide such valuable information that we didn’t have access to through the NHS. She was more than helpful and answered all my questions with such reassurance and patience (I had a lot of questions)!”

“The Bloomin’ classes were wonderful. Karen is brilliant, bringing a wealth of experience and up-to-date information, delivered in a really warm and approachable way. It was so helpful to have the time to discuss topics in depth, and Karen was so helpful in answering questions and expanding on different areas. This was my second pregnancy, and I was really keen to feel better prepared for labour and postpartum than I was the first time around. The class was great for this, and I learned so much! Empowered with information and Karen’s encouragement, I felt able to share my preferences with my antenatal care team, who were supportive of my choices. I could not more highly recommend the Bloomin’ classes if you want to feel more calm, prepared and empowered throughout pregnancy, labour and into the newborn period.”

“I found bloomin classes superior to other classes that I had been to due to the more personal feel with more space and opportunity to ask questions throughout. Felt great getting to know other couples going through what you are and have made some good friends that continued on post-partum from the classes. Finding a community of other mums has been so helpful. Karen communicated choices so well that it made us feel not only well informed but empowered to make my/our own choice’s during birth when things felt out of control during birth I understood what medical terms were thanks to the class. Not to mention the comfy birth balls as seats during the class were so helpful to my pregnancy back pain! Karen really made us feel comfortable and my husband felt so included in the class and really helped him to feel part of the journey.”

Karen Teaching

“We booked Karen’s online antenatal classes in the summer in preparation for the birth of our baby, who was due in November. The classes were incredibly well put together and easy to follow, with Karen providing clear explanations. Karen was so positive and approachable which made us feel comfortable asking questions, no matter how small.”

“The content covered a wide range of topics, including various birth options, which allowed us to make informed decisions about our own birth plan. Karen not only presented the pros and cons of each option but also encouraged us to think about what would work best for us and our baby. Each week, we looked forward to the next class, leaving feeling more confident and knowledgeable. The experience helped us realise that birth doesn’t have to be a daunting, uncontrollable event; instead, we could make choices that worked for us.”

“I was at the very end of my pregnancy when I did the Bloomin’ classes and loved going! Karen was so accommodating and knowledgeable and it was a very enjoyable class experience. She made us all feel really comfortable, made the space super inviting, and you could tell she was passionate about what she does.”
“It was an absolute pleasure to attend Bloomin’ classes with Karen. Our NHS antenatal classes were all online, so it was so nice to attend some classes in person with my husband. Both of us found the classes very beneficial, interesting and relaxed!”
“I felt totally supported and encouraged to ask questions, it felt like a “there are no stupid questions” type of space, and it allowed open dialogue between other people within the class (which I luckily got to share with a close friend but equally feel it would’ve been a safe sharing space regardless). You clearly worked hard to tailor your responses to individual mummies and it wasn’t a cookie cutter answers.”
