Daisy Birthing is a practical, educational and supportive journey through pregnancy and birth.
Hi I'm Jo your local Daisy Birthing and Parent teacher offering birth preparation classes across Somerset.
I love Daisy and everything that it offers mums and mums to be.
My Daisy journey started as a mum in 2015 when I attended my local Daisy Birthing class. Having had a not so positive birth first time round I wanted a different approach with my second.
Daisy taught me everything I needed to know about how my body worked in birth, how I needed to breath and to move to get the best out of my birthing experience. The classes where a great support to me at a time when my life was throwing everything back at me...learning to relax was one of the most useful things I learned. I also made lots of great friends in an area that I hadn't lived in very long.
I have to admit that my birth was an amazing experience...I laboured at home in water and had a very quick, pain relief free birth and while I had the faith that my body could birth I just didn't know how to do it? Daisy prepared both me and my partner for this and this set me up for a wonderful start to second time motherhood.

The rest is history as they say...I loved what I'd learned so much that I wanted to get out there and share this with other mums...we all deserve a positive birthing experience what ever our choices.
So what is Daisy...
'Well our all-inclusive Active Antenatal method is an all-encompassing pregnancy class helping you to learn your antenatal education in a truly effective way'
Each week traditional antenatal education is combined with active birth principles, taught seamlessly alongside repetitive flowing movements designed to anchor the education to your body, breath and movement, exactly where you will need it on your baby’s birthing day.
Basically you learn whilst doing so that on birth day everything just comes together without having to reach for notes or try and remember what you learn.
The structure of the classes mean that your body learns by memory and the education really gets you thinking about your options, your beliefs and the way women in general view birth. I had so many light bulb moments my view of birth has never been the same again!
These progressive women only weekly classes, available from 14 weeks pregnant are delivered over 6 week terms. Your classes will cover a combination of:
Antenatal and active birth education
Breathing techniques
Relaxation and birth hypnosis
Yoga based movement
Meeting local pregnant women
Daisy Birthing is accessible for all mums no matter of shape, size, and ability and is suitable for both first and subsequent pregnancies, supporting all birth plans and choices.
