July has a couple of new things for the new mother and for the impending parent:

• Thursday, 16 July, 7.30-9pm we have a free event presented by Tracy Lomax who has 21 years experience as an Osteopath and trained at the Osteopathic Centre for Children in Harley Street, London.  In this event she will focus on nutrition and about her own speciality and how she can bring a wealth of experience working with babies with birth trauma and children with hyperactivity.  Learn how nutrition is the foundation of our physical, emotional and psychological health, and that behavioural problems, from the earliest stage, can be easily corrected.
• Thursday, 30 July, evening(time TBC) Kiss It Better, which provides several first aid courses for parents, grandparents, childminders and nannies, will be running a 2 hour empowerment workshop specifically designed for expectant mothers, which focuses solely on first aid for babies, and is a lot less active to take into account those ever growing bumps!  Partners and family are also welcome on this course.  Knowing what to do in an emergency when the little one has arrived is essential for any parent.  £10.00 per person

If you are interested in or would like to book either of these events please contact Tanya on 07814 866 012 or via email at info@huddersfieldpilates.co.uk
