Expertise and decription of service(s) provided and what it is helpful for
Hello! I am Mitch, mother of two boys and I have been teaching birth and parenting preparation classes since 2003. I have trained with the NCT to teach Antenatal Classes and also Relax, Stretch and Breathe classes.

NCT ANTENATAL CLASSES
If you are expecting a baby or preparing to be a birth partner you might find the following themes being explored at my NCT classes:

• How would you like your baby’s birth to be?
• Practicing techniques and discussing ideas for helping you to enjoy your baby’s birth
• Understanding the medical help that is available to us
• Meeting your new baby
• Sleeping, nappy changing, soothing babies
• Looking after yourselves and each other
• Becoming a parent

NCT classes are small, informal, dynamic and informative, providing a wonderful focal point for you to prepare for your new baby. I receive lovely feedback from my classes, with people particularly enjoying meeting people who are sharing a similar experience and feeling much more confident about their baby’s birth and the early days as a parent.

NCT antenatal classes are booked through Sarah, our bookings person: bookings3e@nct.org.uk. My courses currently run in Bishopston.

NCT RELAX, STRETCH and BREATHE
Everyone (pregnant, that is!) is welcome to my women-only evening class where we will spend some valuable time working with our bodies and breath, practicing breathing and contractions, stretching our bodies, discussing ideas about birth and listening to birth stories. Movements are inspired by yoga and are designed to help you become more flexible, more comfortable in pregnancy and women often report sleeping much better. Yoga style class, all welcome.
Classes are Wednesday evenings at KudaCan on Gloucester Rd at 7:30pm. Book through me: BirthologyMitch@gmail.com. £9 per session concessions available.

NCT RELAX & STRETCH WITH BABY
An exercise class for new mothers and their babies - incorporating a variety of movements, postures and nursery rhymes to restore and renew. Monday mornings at Quaker Meeting, Gloucester Rd. Email birthology.mitch@gmail.com for bookings. £9 per session concessions available.

References for Mitch

I contacted Mitch to tutor me about birth. I delivered my first baby by elective caesarian and would like to have a natural delivery for my second. There is so much to learn about delivering a baby let alone a VBAC delivery. After enquiring I realized that I needed a one to one session catered to my individual needs. Mitch and I made a plan of what to go over with me in the time we had. I found that she was very friendly, prepared and met all my expectations. It was great because she could come to our house where my son ran around freely so I didn’t have to worry about childcare. We also arranged a time when my husband was around (which is always difficult with his busy schedule) so he could hear all about what to expect during labour. She prepared us and encouraged us. I recommend Mitch 100%

Thank you!

Hi Mitch,
I think it [our Birthology session] was a fantastic way to start thinking about the realities of giving birth again. Having the chance to do it at home meant we could both relax and not worry about being part of a larger group. You enabled us to reflect on Daisy's birth and gave us different perspectives and uptodate information so that we could think about how to prepare for Tom. Having spent most of my pregnancy rushing around at work it was a really 'grounding' experience. It also enabled us to make time as a couple, to discuss any concerns we had properly with one another.
