Birthlight Teachers Win More Awards!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Huge Congratulations goes to Birthlight's Director of Training Sally Lomas. Sally has just been awarded 'Best Antenatal Class' in the Local Award section of the What's On 4 Little Ones? awards. Sally runs  Birthlight Cambridge which is a unique centre for active birth, pregnancy and parent/baby classes in the Cambridge area and is joint Director of Dolphin Birthlight Baby Swimming School with Amanda Walker.

Comments from parents voting at the awards: "Sally is a truly inspirational antenatal yoga teacher who has made an enormous difference to my pregnancy. Her approach is incredibly holistic, preparing the mother not just physically but also mentally and emotionally. Her classes include yoga moves, breathing techniques to help with labour, good birth positions, time for meeting other mothers and much much more. She teaches with humour and from the heart. It is obvious that she uses her own experience and that of teaching pregnant women over the years to enrich each class. Many of us speak of coming out of class feeling so much more energised, however difficult our day or week has been. I would describe my class as a sacrosanct two hours in the week when I can escape work/ home/ family for two hours and really connect with my bump. The very high return rate to Sally's classes is a further testament to her skills. I hope that she can be recognised for her amazing work as she not only teaches her class but trains others as well."

 

Huge Congratulations also go to Birthlight Infant Aquatics Teacher Maria Conway-Moule, whose swimschool 'Merbabies' won the runner-up 'Commended' prize in the National 'Best Swimming Class' category. Maria runs classes in Huntingdon, Ipswich and Norwich.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comments from parents voting at the awards:  A fantastic fun filled class that has amazing results in giving babies confidence in and under water.  My 10 month old holds on to the bar, and at a command, pushes away to swim underwater to my outstretched arms. Amazing!

This follows on from last years success, where  Clare Murphy won a 'Bronze Award' in the Regional Category of 'Whats On 4 Little Ones 2007 Awards’.
