Hello and a very warm welcome to the North Devon Positive Birth Movement!
We welcome pregnant women and their partners, new or experienced parents, returning parents, birth professionals ~ everyone is welcome to come along and join our community.
I’m Amy and I’m the proud facilitator of the North Devon PBM and founder of Born to Bee Happy. I’m a mum, antenatal and hypnobirthing teacher, postnatal wellness practitioner, breastfeeding peer supporter, baby massage and baby yoga teacher and all-round positive birth and positive parenting advocate! I’m really passionate about spreading the positive birth message and believe that ALL births can be a truly positive experience, regardless of where and how you choose to have your baby.
I believe that there is something really powerful in women coming together to support and empower each other and share experiences. Our group is a safe and friendly space to meet, discuss your hopes and fears of birth, ask questions, share information and get support and encouragement. We want you to feel knowledgeable, informed and empowered to make choices about your pregnancy, your birth and your parenting journey that are best for you and your family.
I am also very passionate about supporting women into the postnatal period and throughout parenthood. We may have birth professionals and other health and wellness providers joining us for sessions and providing information on monthly topics.
MEETINGS
This group covers both the North Devon and Torridge districts (including Barnstaple, Bideford, Braunton, Fremington, Great Torrington, Hartland, Holsworthy, Ilfracombe, Instow, South Molton, Lynton, Lynmouth, Westward Ho! and surrounding areas). We usually meet on the second Wednesday of every month 7:00-8:30pm at my private ‘The Hive’ studio in Bideford. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, meetings are currently online via Zoom (7:30-8:30pm) until further notice. Please see our Facebook page for meeting details (or if you do not use Facebook, please contact Amy for further information). We also plan social events and other regular parent and baby meet-ups.
MONTHLY TOPICS
Each meeting will be focused around a monthly topic. We encourage discussion and questions around this, although of course we can discuss other topics too. We also invite couples back to share their birth stories and parenting experiences with us, so if you would like to come along and share your story (whether topic related or not) please email Amy to arrange.
I am all about uniting women and creating connection together. Come along and join our friendly and welcoming group for lots of positive vibes, tea & cake! I really look forward to welcoming you to a meeting soon.
