As predicted the last sessions of the current Fitmama courses went fabulously well!

The mums were given a special treat in the form of Reflexology for two lucky ladies, and Hypnobirthing relaxation for everyone. Many thanks to Sally from Sallys Footworks, and Fiona from Harmony Hypnobirthing for giving up their valuable time to come and share their special skills with us. It is wonderful to learn tips and techniques that we wouldn't necessarilly expose ourselves to without prompting.

Our very special guest was little Isaac Empringham, aged 2 weeks, who was brought in by his lovely parents on Thursday night, and then again on Friday morning, but this time only with mum. Gill had attended our FitMama courses religiously, and had used Fiona's Hypnobirthing techniques with very successful results during delivery. She was thrilled to tell us all about her very calm and happy labour, and how the fitness and hypno techniques helped them both as a couple to get through the delivery.

I am so grateful to all these delightful people for sharing their time with us! Thank you!

You might wonder why we include these kind of events in a fundamentally fitness focussed course. The point is that the mind is very much part of the body, and learning to relax, either with mental focus or reflexology techniques, works hand in hand with exercise to give you and your baby optimal health and wellness.

Here's to the next course in November... see you soon, mums!
