I attended Tara’s birthing classes whilst pregnant with my first baby. Tara is so supportive and informative. The classes really helped me feel connected to other mums and made me feel more empowered to advocate for myself during pregnancy and birth and make choices that felt right for me. I now go to Tara’s nestlings classes which are a lovely addition to mine and my babies’ week! Would really recommend any of Tara’s services 😊

Tara was my doula. She is incredibly knowledgeable about birth, hospital processes/policies, as well as women’s experience and rights. She also had a massive repertoire of literature (both online and printed) to recommend to help educate me and prepare me for my pregnancy, birth and parenting journey. Educating myself on the birthing experience and preparing myself for it was a huge part of my journey and interest and I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor.

I loved attending Hatchlings and Nestlings classes with my second baby. The classes include a few activities for the babies like singing and movement, but what’s really been of value for me personally is that the classes are very much focussed on the mums. It’s a space to vent, share, discuss all things birth/baby/postpartum and beyond. Tara is so knowledgeable and supportive, and makes a wicked cake. Wish I had known about these classes back when I had my first! A real gem, thoroughly recommend to any (new) mum. Thanks Tara!

My maternity leave would have been a different experience altogether without Tara’s wonderful community. It’s honestly something I couldn’t do without, now and into the future, as I navigate my parenting journey. I couldn’t recommend her classes more, I only wish I had found her sooner, as I know her pregnancy support has been invaluable to so many of the mums I’ve met along the way.

Best course that I joined when pregnant 5 years ago. So much knowledge and care that Tara shared - it was so useful. And I loved meeting the other mums, aside from some lovely friendships they helped me through the long nights with a newborn.

Tara was our doula and we also attended her birthing classes and baby classes. Working with her has been such a relief during the pregnancy and it really eased us into birth and parenthood. She was an incredible doula, powerful ally and invaluable advocate. And thanks to her work we had a beautiful birth on our terms. She really empowered us in our journey to parenthood and we wouldn't hesitate to work with her again. Thank you Tara!

Tara is such a lovely person who runs the most amazing classes. Really useful and insightful prenatal yoga classes and afterwards with babies hatchlings and nestlings are a really lovely class small enough to really connect with other parents and share the highs (and lows- normally sleep deprived) all whilst having fun and making memories with your baby. So glad I signed up on a whim for the yoga classes!!

Tara was our doula in July, she was worth every penny, she advocated for me so my partner could focus on supporting me and she helped me understand what my options were at each stage. She was also super supportive while I tried to get my feeding journey established which I think helped me continue (still going strong 6 months later ☺️). Highly recommended and for sure would hire Tara again for any future deliveries.

Tara is such a wonderful and caring lady who's knowledge and support are invaluable. I highly recommend her classes and her doula services. She's given me so much reassurance and confidence to grow as a mother.

Just finished my second term of the Nurtured birthing classes with Tara - held at her studio in the Belper Mills. Thanks to her supportive, insightful and engaging approach I have left feeling super empowered and ready to embark upon the next, impending chapter!
If like me you are feeling apprehensive about labour (and the prospect of birthing a human!), then I strongly encourage you to access her sessions. I have particularly enjoyed connecting the body and mind within her hypnobirthing exercises and have embraced these practices way more than I thought I would.
Thanks again Tara! No doubt I'll see you again in the future for your newborn workshops. Hannah
