Becoming a new parent is probably the most daunting experience of anyone’s life. There is so much to learn, think and worry about before and after the new arrival. The advice we received from Emma at Baby Gurus really did put our minds at ease and prepare us not only for life with a family but for the amazing experience of seeing our son born into the world.

No question was too trivial and she took the time to explain each aspect of the birth, the preparation, what we should expect at every stage and then, finally, how to begin our new lives with a baby.

We have been amazed at just how much we do naturally now that we have Andrew home but we are in no doubt that this has been built on the solid foundations and advice given to us by Emma.

Thanks to Emma and everyone else at Baby Gurus. Parents-to-be really are in safe hands.

The concept of spending a relaxing weekend in a 5* hotel is fantastic especially for couples that both work and are time poor.  I thought the course content was spot on, with just the right amount of information given, all questions answered honestly and openly and a very positive spin put on pregnancy, labour and parenthood.

 

Certainly, for John and I, we hadn't given much consideration to the labour and birth so this was really the first time we'd thought the whole thing through.  My head was buried deeply in the sand before I came to Mar Hall but you guys showed me that labour doesn't have to be a terrifying experience and there are things that both the mother and father can do to make the whole event a little easier.

I think what works particularly well is the emphasis that is put on the partners involvement in both labour and parenthood.  The weekend has been invaluable for John.  He said he feels so much more connected to me, the pregnancy and the prospect of becoming a father after the weekend.  How wonderful that everything I know, he knows just as well (probably even better!) and can help me through things when the time comes.

As excited but anxious first time parents of twins, Sonya and her Baby Guru team helped educate and inform us on so many topics in relation to labour and parenting tips and had lots of advice on hand. It was a fun day in which we did so many practical things as well as chat to Sonya and ask our many questions and worries in private. Not only did we leave feeling informed about our exciting next steps in life we felt more confident, relaxed and prepared!! and our minds at ease which enabled us both to enjoy the remainder of the pregnancy together. So to all expectant mums and dads too!!!!!!! spending time with baby gurus is a must...

The Baby Gurus are both so friendly and professional; there really isn't anything they don't know about babies - very impressive. My one to one with them was like chatting to two best friends; I came away feeling totally uplifted and ready for anything!
