Antenatal classes, Malvern

“This course was phenomenal. Not only does one leave feeling empowered but armed with the knowledge of physiology of what happens before, after and beyond birth. Have been speaking non stop to anyone that will listen about the benefits of Maryanne’s course (sorry friends and family). Maryanne is also on call after the course for any questions and support. Worth the trip across London for us to MummaPod. My partner enjoyed it too :) !”
