Vicki is a wealth of knowledge and her classes are incredibly informative, interesting and engaging. My husband and I feel much more confident about going into the birthing experience having learnt so much from the classes. Vicki's warm, friendly and approachable nature really makes you feel comfortable enough to ask questions and share concerns. I highly recommend Vicki's classes to anyone who wants to have a physiological birth or just feel more empowered and well informed. You can really tell that Vicki is passionate about what she does and she is damn good at it too! Thank you, Vicki.

How these ratings work
These bars are a guide, not a score of this business. Each starts from Oria Haven’s profile of Massage as a kind of session, then is adjusted by facts stored on this listing: its price band, its group size and whether it welcomes beginners.
Nobody has rated this particular venue in person, and reviews are not fed in. Where we have no fact about this listing behind a bar — for example how many people share the room — we leave that bar out rather than guess.
They describe the room — how quiet, how physical, how many people — never what a session is supposed to do for you.

We were recommended Vicki’s classes by our doula, and it was such a great experience. The classes go far beyond what you typically get through the hospital system and were incredibly beneficial for both of us. They were especially helpful for my husband, who hates reading, as they covered the many different ways birth can unfold and helped us feel prepared and confident for any scenario. We also learnt hands-on massage techniques, different positions to help during labour, and practical ways for partners to know what to do and feel confident supporting you through birth. I would highly recommend Vicki’s classes to anyone having their first baby. They gave us so much more knowledge, confidence and practical tools going into the birth, and we’re so glad we did them.
I can’t recommend Vicki’s Back to Basics birthing class enough. She was absolutely incredible! so knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely passionate about what she teaches. I walked away learning so much valuable information that I truly feel prepared and empowered for birth. Before the class, I had a lot of worries and unknowns, but Vicki has completely changed my mindset. I now feel calm, confident, and actually excited for the experience ahead. If you’re considering a birthing class, this is the one to do!! Thank you Vicki! for such an amazing experience ☺️💕

Weleda's 100ml plant-oil body massage oil, vegan, most often bought during pregnancy.
Goes well with Massage & Bodywork
Why we picked it
An oil rather than a cream, which is the practical difference: it stays slippery long enough to actually massage with. 100ml is a few months of regular use. We describe what it is; claims about what it does are the manufacturer's, not ours.

A two-inch textured rubber ball from TriggerPoint, sized to work underfoot.
Goes well with Massage & Bodywork · Sleep & Recovery · Fitness & Movement
Why we picked it
Two inches is the size that fits the arch of a foot, which is what separates it from a plain lacrosse ball. The texture grips the floor instead of skidding away. The cheapest way into self-massage tools and the one most likely to get used.

A handheld percussive massager with five speeds and a 10mm stroke.
Goes well with Massage & Bodywork · Sleep & Recovery
Why we picked it
10mm is the shallow end of the range, which makes it quieter and lighter than the deep-stroke guns and easier to hold at arm's length. Five speeds is more than most people ever use. Light enough to travel with.
