My 5 ⭐  rated birth preparation workshops blend elements of Spinning Babies, Biomechanics for Birth, Birthing From Within and Active Birthing, to provide you and your partner with many tools and practices so you can work together to create a positive birth experience.

They are interactive and practical sessions to help you and your partner feel confident, informed, prepared and excited for birth

Mamas will discover how to deepen into their power, what they need from their partners and grow in confidence in their bodies.

📷 Looking through my camera roll makes me realise I really don't have many photos that represent my work but I do have a lot of my dog!

I'm not one for making a big thing about the new year, seasonally we're still in deep hibernation mode and if it were possible I wouldn't emerge until the end of January. However I have lots of wonderful clients (new and returning) booked in for classes and treatments from next Monday 5th January 2026 and I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone so I'm slowly transitioning back to the world.

❤️ Heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has come to me in 2025 for classes and treatments, I appreciate every booking and it's true that they make me do a little happy dance but no, I will not be capturing that on camera or posting it on here! 🤭
So here's to another year of supporting you at Labour of Love 💃🏻

Our Story

Hi, I’m Rosa Davies and I’ve been running my classes and working as a Doula for 13 years. I have loved working with so many pregnant women and their partners over the years and supporting new mums. I don’t know the exact number of parents who I’ve supported but well over 1000!

My classes encourage you to trust yourself and feel powerful in your body, help you bond with your baby, take time out for yourself and enjoy some nurturing during pregnancy and postnatally. I also offer treatment to support you through pregnancy, the postnatal period and beyond.

In recent years I have been drawn to working with women of all ages and helping them in their quest for health and healing. This led me to train in Mizan Therapy and Myofascial Release. I feel privileged and honoured to be doing this work.
