Pregnancy Relaxation in Harlow
A calm, midwife-led Friday evening session to help you slow down, breathe, and feel steadier in your pregnancy — with a small local group and a safe, welcoming vibe.
Funded places are available for the next 4 weeks. After funding ends, sessions will be £15.
What to expect
This isn’t “performance relaxation” — it’s a gentle space to rest, learn a simple calming technique, and leave feeling more grounded.
- Gentle breathing to settle your nervous system
- Guided relaxation (lying down or seated — your choice)
- Quiet, supportive atmosphere with other pregnant people
- Time to land at the end — no rushing out the door
Comfort matters
Mats and cushions are provided, drinks and light refreshments are available, and there’s free parking on site. Bring a blanket if you like — it helps you get extra cosy.
Bonus: free access to “Your Choice, Your Voice”
Everyone who attends the funded sessions is also invited to join a short free 6-week online programme designed to help you feel calmer, more informed, and more confident in appointments.
- Build the right support around you
- Understand risk language in pregnancy
- Speak up in appointments (without feeling like “the difficult one”)
- Decision-making with confidence
- Plan for the early weeks after birth
Optional, not overwhelming
The online programme is there if you want it — you can dip in at your own pace. The in-person sessions stand alone too.
Who runs the sessions?
These sessions are led by Nickie Witcombe, a qualified midwife and hypnobirthing practitioner. The focus is on calm, evidence-informed support — alongside your usual NHS care.
Small, safe, supportive
You’ll never be pressured to share personal details. Come as you are. Rest is the goal.
