about us

Our antenatal week-ends are hosted by experts in their field and are unique in the fact that they cater to Dads needs as well as mums. We are very excited to welcome Patrick Houser, founder of FathersToBe as one of the week-ends speakers. F2B provides a unique opportunity for men to learn skills that will help them be truly present, and not just ‘in the room’, during this most powerful of times.

These week ends are the perfect opportunity for expectant dads to learn more about pregnancy and the birth process than any other antenatal classes offer. Dads will, in turn, learn how to bring a calm and useful presence to the birthing time and enable them to make creative and loving birth choices with their partners.

Sallie Shellie is our fantastic doula and antenatal practitioner- she has 5 children of her own and has experienced hundreds of very different labours. She is able to educate and advise from a professional and personal view point.

Sal keeps herself up to date by attending training and workshops and has the following qualifications:

• Member of Doula UK.
• Member of Pelvic Partnership
• Member of the Association of Breast Feeding Mothers'
• Member of the Association for Improvements in Maternity Services (AIMS)
• Nurturing Birth Advanced Breastfeeding Workshop
• Nurturing Birth Advanced Birth Workshop
• Early Years First Aid Course.
• Nurturing Birth Birth Doula and Post Natal Doula Course
• Sheila Kitzinger Birth Crisis Workshop.

In short, what Sal doesn’t know about pregnancy, labour and birth isn’t worth knowing!

“She's extremely calm and encouraging.”

“The best money I ever spent!”

“Her commitment, compassion and absolute wisdom saw me through one of the most beautiful and challenging times of my life. I simply could not have done it without her support”
