OUR CLASSES & WORKSHOPS
1) The BabyCalm(TM) Complete baby calming parenting course.
This
course is a unique 4 week - 8hr - course incorporating baby massage and
movement, baby calming and communication skills, holistic parenting
tips and interactive class discussion of many topics that new mums and
dads commonly face (such as birth debriefing, feeding worries, bonding,
colic, constipation and wind, lack of sleep and concerns about the
health and well being of their new baby). The classes
will help you to bond with your new baby, help him or her to remain
flexible, grow strong and develop well and help you to experience a
stress free, tear free relationship of trust, confidence and calm.
This course is most suited to newborn babies from 2wks to 20wks of age
2) The 3hr colic and crying workshop
This workshop
is intended as an emergency "one off" class to help new parents whose
babies are suffering from colic and prolonged crying. Your practitioner
will firstly help you to understand why your baby is so unhappy and then
demonstrate many techniques and tools you can use to help your baby to
settle and hopefully to sleep better!
This course is most suited to newborn babies from birth to 12wks of age
3)The 3hr BabyCalm(TM) antenatal preparation workshop
This
workshop is designed to introduce new parents to reasons that babies
are commonly unsettled, helping them to understand their babies before
they are even born! You will learn how to welcome your baby into a world
where they are calmer and more settled and be armed with many
techniques to make your baby's transition from womb to world as smooth
and comfortable as possible. Dads are actively encouraged to attend this
workshop!
This workshop is most suited to couples between 30 and 38wks of pregnancy

3) Is it possible to bring a friend or relative with me?
Yes absolutely you are welcome to bring another adult with you, that does not have to be your partner. All BabyCalm(TM) pricing includes attendance for the baby and up to two adults, it doesn't matter who these adults are!
4) Where are BabyCalm(TM) courses held?
I cover Warwickshire, Coventry and West Midland area's but other practitioners cover other UK area's. Look on our main BabyCalm(TM) website for details.
I am happy to teach courses in your own venue, such as somebody's home. We are frequently asked to teach NCT antenatal groups - perhaps you could set up a group with your new mum friends?
Please do contact me for more information on this. Please note there is likely to be an extra charge to cover travel expenses.
6) Can I bring older children to a BabyCalm(TM) course or workshop?
As much as we adore all children, BabyCalm(TM)
has to say unfortunately classes are for new parents and babies only,
we aim to provide a calm and peaceful environment and this is not always
possible with toddlers and older children present, as I'm sure you will
understand!
7) I really do not like the idea of baby training methods that involve routines and lots of crying, is BabyCalm(TM) the course for me?
Rest
assured we dislike these methods too! we promise to never teach you to
let your baby "cry it out" or control their crying in any way.
8) What age is a BabyCalm(TM) course suitable for?
The
younger the better really! we are happy to teach parents with babies up
to 20wks of age. The sooner the start the greater the benefit though -
why not join one of our antenatal baby calming workshops to give you a
head start?
9) Is it possible to hold a private BabyCalm(TM) Course or workshop?
Yes, I am happy to do this, this option will of course
include an extra charge, but many of our parents believe this option is
so worth it, particularly in the early days if they are struggling with
sleep deprivation! Please do contact you me for more information.
10) How do I know it will work?
Have a read of some of our testimonials above! In addition all BabyCalm(TM) methods are based on sound evidence and psychological research.
11) Do you offer refunds if I miss a class?
We
do ask for payment in full before a workshop or course. This payment
guarantees your course place and also any course materials which I will order in for you. Unfortunately if you miss a class
for some reason we are unable to refund payment for that session, though
we will be pleased to offer you the chance to attend the session you
have missed on a subsequent course for free.
12) How do I pay?
Cheque or bank
transfer.
