Birth Preparation Workshops

The Pregnancy hub is a collaboration of NJD Sports injury centre and A Gentle Journey, and is born from the need for a single space where people can access support in pregnancy, for birth and during the postnatal period. Our team provide everything you need for physical and emotional well-being as you move through your pregnancy and prepare for birth, continuing on into postnatal recovery and ensuring you have a positive experience every step of the way. Services available include antenatal yoga and pilates, Hypnobirthing, pregnancy relaxation and postnatal pilates.

Birth preparation workshops are just part of what we offer and they allow you to focus on specific elements of your pregnancy and birth.
