Hello! A very warm welcome to the PBM Oxshott, Cobham & Esher.
My name is Karianne – local Mum of two, Hypnobirthing & Antenatal Teacher and proud facilitator for the PBM Oxshott, Cobham & Esher.
I first heard about the PBM when I was pregnant with my daughter in 2018. I was in my final few weeks of pregnancy (a bit bored and fed up!) and went along not really knowing what to expect. I was greeted by a lovely group of friendly faces, bumps and babies – some sharing their own birth experiences; a mix of births that had gone to plan, some that had gone the other way, but all was positive. There was something really powerful about a group of women coming together and supporting each other. Shortly after my daughter was born, I knew immediately that I wanted to get involved and spread the word in my local community.
The monthly topics covered by The Positive Birth Movement encourage discussion and seeking out of information so that women and their partners can make informed decisions about what’s right for them and their baby and feel confident in asking questions and getting information from their caregivers.
More than anything I want women and couples to feel informed, prepared and positive about birth and their journey into parenthood. No matter where or how you give birth, you have choices, you have rights – this is your birth. Our meetups and events are a fantastic opportunity to meet other local parents and parents-to-be. If you’re pregnant, thinking about it or have a positive story to share we’d love to meet you.
We meet once a month (normally on a Friday morning) at a local venue where you can expect a warm welcome, friendly faces, good coffee/tea and positive vibes!
Please drop me an email or follow us on Facebook or Instagram for the latest information on our meetups and events.
We are really looking to welcoming you!
