moreYet another amazing alliance for Lazy Daisy® antenatal and baby classes, hot on the heels of our JoJo Maman Bèbè affiliation.
We are delighted to confirm that Katja Jaqueline, who is the official Dunstan Baby Language National Trainer in the UK, will be working exclusively with Lazy Daisy Ltd in 2012, to guest speak and deliver summary and foundation training to all our Daisy Baby New Born delegates. Those of you who follow us will know our New-Born module is an extension to our already popular baby classes and has been designed in conjunction with input from local children's centres, to create a programme for new parents, helping them to understand the primitive reflexes and visual cues baby gives and to respond to common issues and enhance care using massage, yoga and positive touch.
Dunstan's principals of looking at early sounds and interpreting these, by analysing the visual and primitive reflexes which accompany them, sits perfectly with Lazy Daisy's own baby ethos and we are so excited Katja has agreed to talk exclusively to our trainees!
Katja will be summarising the benefits of the programme and the 5 key sounds the Dunstan principals are founded around, to enable our teachers to talk to parents with confidence about what Dunstan can offer them. In addition, Lazy Daisy® teachers will be able to enrol for full Dunstan accredited training at a discounted rate (booking via Lazy Daisy Ltd only)
Our first New-Born workshops are happening right now at 12 Sure Start Centres across Suffolk and we welcome in our initial 15 New-Born specialist teachers in September for full CPD training and to work with Katja!
(note Katja’s session within our New-born training will provide an introduction and over view of the key Dunstan sounds and is not intended to provide a full qualification in teaching Dunstan Baby Language. Lazy Daisy® teachers can benefit from preferential teaching rates, should they decide to undertake full Dunstan training – please contact the Lazy Daisy Head Office)
Hot on the heels of the lovely DVD made by our Scottish Sector Manager and Daisy Birthing® antenatal teacher Sian (see article below), Peta our trainee antenatal teacher for Southampton, Romsey and surrounding (Hampshire) talks to us about her thoughts on our antenatal classes and on our key class benefits.
Peta really sums up the Daisy Birthing® antenatal class ethos and even shows you a snap shot of the movements - all with wonderful delivery (Remember she is still in training! Such is the standard we ask the girls to strive for!)
It's wonderful to see one of our trainee licensees and antenatal teachers approaching her classes with such enthusiasm and confidence.
If you would like to join a weekly Daisy Birthing® antenatal class in Southampton or Romsey with Peta, do contact her (see her profile here). Or perhaps you are inspired and want a training course which can give you the array of knowledge Peta has already developed - we would love more teachers in the South of England and in the North too, so do check our training pages!
We are delighted that former Daisy Birthing® client Gemma Eden-Green, will be joining our team of training antenatal teachers to launch our popular weekly antenatal and active birth / pregnant movement classes in Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Westerham (Kent). Gemma attended Daisy Birthing weekly antenatal classes with our founder Julie Long approximately 6 years ago and in her own words says "I want to become a Daisy Birthing® teacher because I believe in what the brand is trying to achieve. I felt really empowered by my second birth and I feel lucky that I was able to have this experience. I think that a positive labour is an important part of being a woman. If I can help other women to have a positive experience then I would get a huge amount of satisfaction from this. As I took the Daisy Birthing® classes I feel very loyal to Daisy Birthing® and I would never have considered training with anyone else."
We love having former Daisy mums leading our sessions and can't wait to watch Gemma's weekly antenatal classes launch in October 2012. You can pre register (remember our antenatal classes are suitable right through to 42 weeks gestation) by emailing Gemma - see her web profile and contact details here.
A lovely video is available on Facebook at the moment, in which Sian Gilmartin our first sector manager and owner of Lazy Daisy Scotland, talks about her feelings and thoughts on the Lazy Daisy antenatal and baby programme. Sian is a mum of two, a daisy birther (Raffy her 2nd baby is a Daisy Birthing® baby), longstanding and hugely experienced clinical hypnotherapist (with specialism in womens issues, fertility and birth), qualified Daisy Birthing® antenatal teacher and Daisy Baby® postnatal teacher. Sian not only teaches in Scotland but led the way with our Sector Manager initiative by taking ownership of building and training her own scottish team and has in 9 short months (4 of them she was on maternity leave herself) developed a team of six wonderful Daisy Birthing® antenatal teachers and Daisy Baby® baby-bonding teachers. It is wonderful to see such varied backgrounds in her team - everything from former Daisy mums, to midwives, to therapists ....!
Sian will be at the Scottish Baby Show weekend of 27th-29th April, talking about classes in Scotland and antenatal teacher training.

Feeback forms completed for Jan 2012 to March 2012, show that just 10% of Daisy Birthing® class mums delivering in this period (based on those who completed forms) required an emergency c-section and just 18% required assisted delivery.
The average number of classes attended was 10 and the average time to start classes was 26 weeks.
34% went into labour early and only 20% required induction.
Breathing and Gas & Air were most definitely the predominent tools used during labour!
Fantastic birthing ladies (and a fantastic c-section rate) - keep feeding back, so we can continually work on improving our support to you!
