The Nurture Den was conceived by me, Lauren, after realising that there were no pregnancy yoga classes in my local community.

I was looking to do something for me during my pregnancy, to keep my body moving, but came up with nothing! I also came to the realisation that I didn’t really attend mum and baby classes because after going to one in particular – I felt so uneasy and ultimately unwelcome!

 

I knew that I wanted to create an inclusive support network for mums, parents and families that was welcoming, no matter who you are.

That was nurturing as well as supportive.

That allowed parents to feel empowered through their journey.

I am hugely passionate about mum’s having not just everything they need from a wellbeing and nurturing support front, but also from a physical point of view to help you have the best possible pregnancy, birth and postnatal period.

I began my career studying Early Childhood Studies and Psychology, followed by my PGCE. I taught primary school children for about 6 years, but after having my girls, I knew that teaching in this way wasn’t for me anymore.

 

I have always been fascinated by pregnancy, birth and babies!

 

I always knew that I wanted to be a mummy – and it is certainly THE most difficult but utterly rewarding things I will ever do! All of my pregnancies and births have been different. I have had an assisted birth on the labour ward, a quick labour in the midwife led unit and hopefully, we will be able to have a home birth soon for this little man! I will keep you all posted! 

 

I knew I wanted to create a business that I could work around my family – they are my why. They are why I made a U-turn in my career. I began to re-train and re-fuel my brain with so much new knowledge.
