"A note to say that the course was absolutely brilliant, thank you so much.  It was just what we needed - very practical, informative and a good re-cap for us. I think particularly for the Dads it's difficult to get focused second time round (done it before, it was fine last time, and the memories fade!), and your course was brilliant for getting us both, particularly Jim, ready for it all." 
Lucy Marsh, 2011

"A very belated note to thank you so much for your yoga and birth preparation classes and to let you know that Polly was born on 15th May, at home in water! It was an amazing experience and I dont believe it would have happened that way if it hadnt been for you and what I learnt in your classes.  The yoga classes were a weekly oasis of calm; they really enabled me to switch off from the hecticness of work and general London life.  The relaxation and breathing techniques were incredibly helpful both during the pregnancy and the labour.  The birth prep classes helped me remain calm as the big day approached."
Charlotte Dyson, 2011

"I just wanted to tell you how great it was for me to have been to the birth preparation classes and the pregnancy classes too, and would like to thank you for all the support, knowledge and well being that you brought into my life as a future mum. I'll definitely come back after my baby is born to attend your mummy and baby yoga classes! Can't wait. Not long now."
Gabriella Pilkington 2010

"Your classes were a really enjoyable part of my pregnancy, and definitely contributed towards my very positive birth experience - thank you. I am already recommending you to all my pregnant friends!"   
Elaine Hakken

"I wanted to mail you to say thank you and to tell you how much we've loved pregnancy yoga and baby yoga. It really has been one of my favourite things to do!" 
Sam and Tilly

"Hi Lon, Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed last night's class. The poses were absolutely perfect for me, and have soothed away all the aches and pains I brought to the class. The relaxation also really worked for me - at the end of your guidance I felt like I was floating above the ground... And on top of that I had the best night's sleep I have had in weeks - thank you!"

I just wanted to say thank you very much for teaching me pregnancy yoga over the last 12 weeks. I have really enjoyed it and my Monday evenings will feel very empty now without them!

Nicky Scott Harden

"I just wanted to let you know that Archie Harold Angood was born on the 13th August. 5 days early. We are both doing well after what was a surprisingly easy birth. I cannot tell you how much your classes helped me with my positive mental attitude and we are both convinced that your teaching enabled this to be a totally happy and positive experience. I did not have any pain relief in the end relying totally on Ben's massage techniques!"
Emma Angood

"I want to thank you for your classes. I found them hugely helpful and actually more informative than my NCT classes. Until I came to you I was convinced that an epidural was the only way forward and your classes definitely gave me the confidence to believe otherwise."
Emily Readman

"Chris and I have a son! We haven't decided on a name yet, but I wanted to let you know that all went well. He was born at 2.22am into the water weighing 8lb 6oz, 53cm long and the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Undoubtedly breathing through the contractions and "soft lips" kept me going through all the contractions - brilliant. No tearing, and all is well with the three of us. Our ideal labour and birth actually."
Claire Welland

"I did use a lot of the breathing exercizes you taught us during the painful contractions which really did help especially breathing out with the pain. I found your classes ( and enthusiasm ) incredibly useful, thank you!? I hope to return to see you with baby soon."
Emily Bowling

"Jake came fast and furiously, labour and birth completed in just over 2 hours. Natural, vaginal delivery with no pain relief (no time) and no intervention. Just good old-fashioned breathing then pushing. Thanks for all the tips during pregnancy yoga classes. They definitely helped me cope and gave me the confidence to bear down on all fours during the very short but worst bits."
Maggie and Jake

"Baby Joseph arrived safely yesterday morning. My "neat" bump turned out to weigh 9 pounds 2 ounces! Everything went really well and I only used the birthing pool and my breathing for pain relief (not even any gas and air!) A big thank you for all your help during my pregnancy. The yoga sessions and partners class really gave me the confidence that I could cope."
Susie and Joseph

"Hooray! Hannah Chloe was born last Wednesday 22nd February (her Daddy's birthday)at 6.56am weighing 7lb 1oz. Labour was 3 hours although I really didn't realize it was labour - v. v. good. Got up at 4am and did some alternate nostril, head rolls etc. Got in pool at about 6.15 thinking had ages to go, and 45 mins later, there was Hannah. Ujiyah (not sure of spelling) breathed all the way through, and apart from one enormous push, I actually did breathe her out. Wow! Thank you so much for all your support and advice. It really got me through and helped it to be the most wonderful experience."
Caroline and Hannah

"The birth was absolutely amazing and I felt entirely in control of the whole thing. When they asked me to go onto my back to check all was completely dialated I thought they were mad as I knew that I was definitely ready. No tears or anything, entirely due I think to breathing through everything. Used Tens and gas and air at end as intended, very lucky. She was 7 lbs 14 oz (same as my no 2) and is obviously absolutely the most beautiful baby ever born!"
Helena and Flora

'Will says that he would recommend your partners class to anyone as it made him realise how important a supportive and informed birthing partner is.'
Rachel Lea

'Thank you for a very great term of pregnancy yoga.'
Zoe Rikkerink

"I really can't thank you enough Nadia - I used so many of the techniques you taught me and the advice you have given me during the labour and birth, and I couldn't have hoped for a better experience :)"
Vicky Cross

"You have been absolutely amazing over the last twenty weeks or so (yes really). Your classes will definitely go down on the list of things I have enjoyed most about my pregnancy."
Sarah Stephen Smith
