Birth Art and Belly Casting
Birth art is a relaxed way of exploring your thoughts and feelings around birth - you may be surprised at what you discover. It holds the potential to unlock your power, strength and inner wisdom. My aim is to facilitate an exploration of feelings, concerns and contemplations around pregnancy, birth and motherhood in a safe environment through creativity, sharing, fun and relaxation.
Often we are unaware of our underlying beliefs or fears and pregnancy can be a time when unresolved issues come to the fore (and probably new ones too!!). Birth art is a wonderful way of exploring what is arising for you and may assist in resolving it. It can be really helpful that where possible we deal with any fears and tensions prior to birth, as if unresolved these issues may arise during labour and interfere with the birth process.
Birth art is certainly not about your ability to draw or paint, infact the more you can let go of the product and be present with each mark you make on the page, the more you are likely to gain. My inspiration for birth art comes from my love of creative expression, art therapy, Birthing from Within by Pam England and Rob Horowitz and the Birth Art Cafe.
Birth art feels best within a small group, I intend to run a series of classes so if you are interested please get in touch. I am also happy to facilitate sessions with individuals or couples.

Belly casting is a fun and easy way of creating a memory keepsake of your pregnancy. It's great if your partner or a friend can be there to help and join in with the fun! The cost is £30 including equipment.
