what our clients say...

I recently did a baby massage course with Cat and couldn’t recommend it enough.
It was such a nice way to bond with my baby, as well as being a peaceful way to spend a small part of the day. Cat has such a lovely way of teaching, and the classes were more than just learning to do baby massage but also a relaxing and inclusive way to meet and chat to other parents with babies of a similar age. Would highly recommend her courses! 

Loved this massage course in Cobham with my 4month old.
Great, calming space that made it easy to relax and meet other mums. Cat was knowledgeable, friendly and really empathetic, creating a welcoming atmosphere for all babies and parents. My daughter had reflux and could be quite fussy and cry, but I never felt uncomfortable which made such a difference.
I’ve already used the techniques at home and found them really helpful for soothing her and incorporating into the bedtime routine.
Thank you! 

Catherine’s baby massage course was absolutely wonderful. The environment was calm and nurturing with no pressure at all. My little one loved the massages. I highly recommend Catherine and her fabulous baby massage 

The baby massage courses that Cat runs are absolutely fantastic. I actually ended up doing the course twice because it was so good and my baby loved them! She was 2 months at the start of the first course and 5 at the start of the second one. I cannot recommend enough, Cat creates both a lovely environment for mum and baby! The perfect class for new mums to meet others in a similar position. 

I have just completed my first 5 weeks of baby massage and loved it so much I have booked on again. It was a perfect first class to attend with my baby as we both loved the relaxing atmosphere Catherine had created! I will definitely be recommending to other mums! 

I attended the Nurtured Birth and Baby Mother's Day Retreat in Ripley Town Hall. It was such a special event in a gorgeous location. The yoga flow was excellent, as was the baby massage, and it was really nice to chat to other local mums over coffee and croissants. Cat and Kerry created such a welcoming atmosphere and I definitely left feeling lighter and more relaxed. Would definitely recommend! 

I did a combined yoga and baby massage workshop with Kerry and Catherine for a special Mother’s Day event and it was fab. The atmosphere was calm and inclusive, everything you needed for the classes was provided, and they even gave us gift bags to take home at the end. I will definitely be booking onto another event like this again, it was lovely for both mums and babies. 

Catherine’s baby massage course was so fantastic I’ve signed up for the next course immediately after. The environment she creates is absolutely perfect for new mums. Zero pressure, calm, welcoming and nurturing it was a very safe space to take my baby and learn new skills and meet other mums and babies. I can’t recommend more highly.

Ditch the NCT and take hypnobirth course instead!

Catherine’s hypnobirth course was exactly what I needed to feel prepared and empowered for my first birth experience. I had been searching for tools that went beyond the “tick-box” approach of NCT, and Catherine delivered in such a thoughtful, personalised, and caring way. Every session felt carefully curated, designed with me and my birth partner in mind, rather than a generic checklist.

What I especially want to share is that hypnobirth is not just for vaginal births. I ended up having a C-section, and thanks to the tips and techniques Catherine taught me, I felt so much calmer and more in control in what could have been an overwhelming situation. The uncertainty felt less daunting because I had the strategies to ground myself and find calm.

And it wasn’t just me who benefited! My husband really leaned on the breathing techniques we practised together, and that gave me so much reassurance — I was able to emotionally anchor to him in those key moments, which made such a difference to how relaxed and supported I felt.

I honestly cannot thank Catherine enough for her wise words, her compassion, and the confidence she gave me. If you’re looking for a truly positive and empowering birth experience, no matter what path your birth might take, I wholeheartedly encourage you to book a session with Catherine. She is simply wonderful. 

 I’m so grateful to have taken a hypnobirthing course with Cat just a few weeks before welcoming my third son. Thanks to the breathing techniques, relaxation exercises, and affirmations she taught me—as well as understanding how to create a calm environment and the importance of my partner’s role—I finally experienced the water birth I had always dreamed of. I felt calm, confident, and empowered throughout my labour.

I’ll be forever thankful for our sessions, Cat. I honestly can’t thank you enough! 

Can’t thank Nurtured Birth and Catherine enough for guiding me through hypnobirthing for my beautiful home birth.

With the relaxation techniques and breathing exercises she taught me, I gave birth peacefully yet powerfully at home, without any interventions or pain medication.

I can honestly say my birthing experience was the best moment of my life, and it makes me feel sad that not all women get to experience birth in this way.

If it hadn’t been for Catherine's classes, I wouldn’t have had the tools or know what to expect giving birth without any assistance, so thank you from the bottom of all our hearts!
