The Baby Gurus bring together the luxury and the finest antenatal expertise. For the time pressed and for those who simply want to take the time-out to enjoy their pregnancy in beautiful surroundings, The Baby Gurus tailor luxury breaks with antenatal training for expectant mothers and their partners.
The team combine prestigious UK hotels and resorts, private suites and luxurious spas with ground-breaking and award-winning preparation for expectant parents. Set up by a midwife and an experienced antenatal childbirth educator their extensive training includes aquanatal instruction, Swedish massage therapy, relaxation for birth and HypnoBirthing ®.
Sonya Murray, Director, The Baby Gurus said: “Our real passion is in preparing couples to become empowered parents. Modern mothers come from all walks of life and in our experience many work throughout pregnancy and many have other pressures. We found that above all things time set aside to relax, learn and prepare builds huge confidence in new mothers and secures a network of trust and support for their new role as parents. Fathers also need support and education and this is where our fathers-to-be sessions become invaluable in providing skills and confidence building. ”
The range of venues and hotels for Babymooning weekends is extensive, and in easy reach of airports to ensure immediate wind down and relaxation. Expansion into boutique hotels in 2007 will give those looking for a more exclusive break the ultimate antenatal course. Babymooning is usually based around a two night break and includes options for golf, spas and sports to keep partners happy. Little extras can be added to this already exciting package such as pampering treatments, visits from a pregnancy reflexologist, chocolates or gifts on arrival. Babymooning photography can also be arranged to keep this memory special.
Using a combination of short presentations, group discussions, and practical skills sessions the two days cover all aspects important to late pregnancy, labour and the early days with your new baby. Talks from other pregnancy and birth specialists including published authors are interspersed throughout the weekend. Groups are limited in numbers so there is ample opportunity for questions and discussions on issues that are important to the individual. There is also an aquanatal exercise programme ideally suited for pregnant women who can build on their confidence and fitness over the weekend.
The Baby Gurus also offer a bespoke education service. This is for those clients looking for a little extra personal education and can include an ongoing support service. Working within the client’s budget and tailored to their personal needs the Baby Gurus can create a unique Babymoon which includes a personal visit from a member of the team. The bespoke package is based around boutique hotel accommodation which is selected with the approval of the client and can include all the extras from Babymooning as well as some exclusive services. This package is the finest of experiences from The Baby Gurus and is loved by celebrities and the time poor who love the best in life!
