Birthing and Antenatal Services - New for 2025
All Joan’s classes works in harmony with the NHS, that’s because, Joan doesn’t give individual sessions of clinical care but she specialises in antenatal education at a time that is convenient to each person or couple. These individual sessions allows a bespoke and personal approach to care unique to them. Many people find that support of NHS services combined with Joan’s help, provides them with a very comprehensive level of support which can be especially helpful for first-time parents.
‘Just Pregnant’ Sessions: A session for couples or individuals recently pregnant and a chance for them to ask questions and be guided into the NHS pathway of care.
‘Meet the Family’ Sessions: A chance for up to six members of the family to meet together and discover the latest information around baby care. (This is a great one to invite grandparents to!)
‘Sibling Learning’ Sessions: Big brothers and sisters can come along and learn how to hold and dress the new baby.
‘Big Knickers and Crumbly Cake’ Session: A get-together to talk openly about big knickers, maternity pads, leaking boobs, moods, sleepless nights, crying babies over a cuppa, cake and a laugh.
Each of these sessions will be £75 for 1 hour. To book a session with Joan call Treat's Reception Team: 01603 514195 or email.

Joan writes:
I have always been in awe of the ability of birthing mothers, each having their own journey and story to tell. However my fascination is with each mothers approach to the birthing process. Many women are calm and focused and have the ability to work with their body while others are terrified and appear to be experiencing excessive pain. I knew that if each mother had the right support she could have a more tranquil and rewarding experience while welcoming her baby in to a calm world.
How do I know this?
I have witnessed the extremes of childbirth too many times for there not to be a reason why some mothers have an amazing experience whilst others can be traumatised. Learning about hypnobirthing gave me the answers - it brought it all came together - the ability for Mothers, birth partners and midwives to gain the knowledge to have a complete team approach to child birth and enhancing the birth experience."
