the pregnancy circle
A monthly sanctuary for expectant mums.
Welcome to The Pregnancy Circle, a nurturing space for pregnant mums seeking support, preparation, and a sense of community as you journey towards motherhood and beyond. Each month, we host a calming 90-minute gathering dedicated entirely to your well-being.
You might have prepared for birth, considered how you want to care for your baby, but this is a space to help you prepare to nourish and nurture you, the mother, as you navigate the sacred journey of motherhood.
What to expect
Our circles are designed to provide a holistic and enriching experience, featuring:
- Introduction and Sharing Circle: We begin each session with an opportunity to share anything in a safe and supportive environment (if you feel called to share).
- Nurturing Activity: Engage in hands-on activities that prepare you for life beyond birth. Example activities include making bath salts for healing, preparing lactation cookies for the freezer, creating recipe books for postpartum nourishment, crafting room sprays for birth, and writing affirmations.
- Guided Relaxation and Techniques: Learn and practice relaxation techniques such as acupressure, self-massage, and gentle movement that you can use during birth and in the postpartum period to maintain calm and balance.
- Postnatal Information Sharing: Receive valuable insights and guidance on various postnatal topics from gentle, natural, and responsive parenting perspectives, helping you to trust and follow your intuition.
- Motherhood Poetry: We conclude each circle with a beautiful poem celebrating the journey of motherhood.
- Herbal Teas: Enjoy a selection of herbal teas specially chosen for their benefits during pregnancy.
the venue
Our gatherings are held at a beautiful family home on Claremont Road in Surbiton. During the summer months, we meet under a stunning pergola in the garden, while in the winter, we cocoon ourselves in the warmth of the lounge.
Parking available at the house, bus stop right outside and an 8 min walk to Surbiton Station.
