Birthconnections - Yoga for Pregnancy
Pregnancy yoga provides both a physical and emotional preparation to help you approach pregnancy and birth with strength, confidence and calm. YogaBirth classes incorporate yoga postures and movements to strengthen and open your body; encouraging your baby into a good position for labour; breathing awareness to increase calm, focus and balance; relaxation to release deeply held tensions and to promote the well-being of yourself and baby. Each class includes time for discussion on a pregnancy or birth related topic, sharing information and refreshments.

Many women choose to take up yoga for the first time when they are pregnant so there is no need to have practiced yoga before…and definitely no need to be able to touch your toes!

Sandra Farmer teaches YogaBirth classes in Glasgow and is from a background in Obstetric Physiotherapy, having taught Pregnancy Yoga and Birth Preparation Workshops in Edinburgh for a number of years.

Pregnancy to Parenthood ~ Cassy McNamara
I am a registered midwife who has chosen, after a number of years working in the NHS, to work independently in private practice. Working this way means that I am able to offer continuity of care for women and families before, during and after pregnancy and birth, providing a responsive, unique and personal service. I am registered and governed with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) in the UK and bound by the same regulations and codes of conduct as NHS midwives.

I believe: in the ability of most women to grow, birth and nurture their babies; in the vital role of midwives in supporting families to achieve a positive pregnancy and birth experience; that women and their families should be well informed and the main decision makers in all aspects of their pregnancy and birth care.

Allison Ewing Midwifery Services
I have been a midwife since 1988 and in Independent Practice since 2000. I choose to practice this way so I can give one to one midwifery care to women and their families, through the pregnancy, the birth and afterwards. I am still in contact with clients years later!

My practice is always evolving as I continue to learn from the women in my care how powerful and wonderful birth can be. I live in Glasgow, but  I usually can travel to Forth Valley, Renfrewshire, Lanarkshire, North Ayrshire and have even been to Argyll.

I complement my midwifery skills with Reiki and Breathwork if these are wanted by the client. Birth is not just a mechanical event but also a powerful spiritual and emotional transition for the woman as she becomes a mother and welcomes her baby to the world. My job is to assist that transition.
