I’ve been you…
Nearly 5 years ago, Eloise was born, I was falling deeper and deeper into loneliness. I was one of the first of my closest friends to have a baby, everyone was at work and going about their daily lives. (Plus it was a worldwide pandemic…so wasn’t much going on anyway!) 🫠
I’d go round to see my mum
& just spend my days there. I would get upset about not having mum friends to go for coffee or walks with. She suggested local well known baby group, so I took the plunge and signed up for a 6 week course.
Well, I did one class and never went back. No one acknowledged me or my baby, there weren’t any smiles or hellos, nothing. I felt even worse than I did before!
After a few months, I found Basking Babies and signed up again for another course. This experience was 100% better than my first! I was added to a WhatsApp group with the other mums on my course before it even started and when I walked into our first class I was greeted with beautiful smiles and such a welcoming atmosphere.
I loved the experience & what Basking Babies stood for so much that I joined baby massage when I was pregnant with Lillie & continues weekly for months 🥰!
&& that’s how I became the Colchester franchise owner!
So I’ve sat on those mats that you sit on week in, week out. I understand how nervous you can feel walking into your classes and I want to bring a sense of calmness and a welcoming energy to each and every mum to come to our classes.
Everyone is welcome in our classes 🫶🏼
