I am currently on maternity leave, returning 1st June 2024. Library sessions and masterclasses are still running as normal throughout this period and Jess Cook will be offering private consultations in the Beautiful Bonds cabin. You can book these as normal through the booking page. She will also be running the occasional workshop, you will find details of these here.
​
When you are done here why not visit Colchester Perinatal Hug to see our network of professionals catering for all your pregnancy, birth and postnatal needs!
