Village Birth

Having only just moved to the area 3 months postpartum I was struggling to find a Pilates studio that offered a mums and bubs class that could cater for my busy mum of 2 life- Then I found Talia at village birth. Talia was beyond my expectations in every way- welcoming, friendly, highly experienced and with the most charming little reformer pilates room. I instantly felt supported and welcomed into the community after one class

We were booked in to have group Hypnobirthing sessions with Talia but because of the changing rules with covid, Talia was extremely accomodating and completed a private session with us! She was warm, friendly and professional and even though Hypnobirthing was so foreign to my partner and I, we felt we learnt so much about the process of birth, what our bodies are capable of and lots of calming/relaxation strategies. Not only that, we felt confident and empowered at the hospital to speak up and slow down any medical interventions, avoiding a suggested induction and episiotomy! Definitely a great investment made :) THANK YOU TALIA.I also used a discounted massage (from the goodie bag Talia gave us) at Village Birth which was great post partum.

Wonderful pre and post-natal pilates. Talia is so warm and supportive and clearly loves what she does. I always felt safe and her experience was obvious, with modifications given when I needed them. It was also a great opportunity to meet other like-minded mums and mums-to-be! Thanks so much, Talia :)

I started mums and bubs Pilates with Talia at village birth after I had my son. It’s such a fantastic, inviting and warm environment. Small class sizes makes for a more individualised work out and corrections. In addition to the amazing work out and awareness of the body that Talia embeds within her classes, she helps to ensure everyone (including babies!) are happy. Such a beautiful, relaxed and welcoming space to be- I look forward to my weekly Pilates class!Would 100% recommend!

We did Talia's Hypnobirthing course before the birth of our sweet little boy. It prepared us so well for what to expect during the birth - and our birth turned out to be incredible! Not suggesting it was all because of Talia's course... or was it?! She is such a beautiful facilitator, setting a space that allowed me to feel comfortable and to walk away super confident in my role in the birth. So good :)

Talia has created a beautiful intimate space to share my pregnancy with other mothers-to-be. Her wealth of knowledge is there to guide and support us on this journey with beautiful stretching and strengthening exercises at a gentle pace catered for pre and post pregnancy. I look forward to my next class.

My partner and I did a 2-day hypnobirthing course with Talia and I'd highly recommend it. I learned a lot of relaxation and pain relief tools that make me feel much more prepared and empowered for birth. Talia is a great facilitator - very warm and engaging- and she shared lots from her own extensive experience supporting pregnant ladies along the way, which I found really valuable. Great extra resources for practicing at home, too.

What Talia has created at Village Birth is the most perfect & welcoming space for overall well-being. I have been loving the mums & bubs pilates reformer classes. Highly recommend for all to attend.

Talia has been my pilates teacher for six years. She is extremely competent and diligent in the way she takes care of the individual people in her hands-on small classes. Each person’s health has been throughly checked and is monitored at the beginning of the class.From there Talia will change the exercises to suit the needs of each person when necessary. She keeps the tempo varied and the routines fresh and challenging.My body is now much more settled and strong, particularly the core/pelvic floor.To top it all off, Talia’s classes are fun.

Village Birth and their philosophy has been such a welcome and warm addition to my pregnancy journey! The pregnancy reformer pilates in particular is always such a great class that feels so personalised and tailored to whatever is needed at the time. Talia has so much experience and knowledge in this space which gives me such confidence that my body is in great hands. This pregnancy in particular has been very challenging with pelvic girdle pain and this is the only workout I've been able to do pain free while still working hard!
