Hi, I'm Laura! I'm a mother to an animal and Lego-loving boy who shares my passion for nature. With over 20 years of experience working with young children, including leading Forest School sessions and enhancing play in nature, I'm a huge enthusiast for outdoor learning.
My own experiences of birth trauma, postnatal depression, and anxiety drive my passion to create a supportive community. I aim to empower parents with tools and techniques to find their flow through their family journey. That's how Nurturing Through Nature was born. Join our journey!
Nurturing Through Nature offers a range of sessions from Tree Babies to Baby Yoga and Massage. These relaxed sessions foster connections between parents and children, with a focus on the mental health and well-being of parents and carers with babies and young children.
Nurturing Through Nature offers a range of totally unique classes for parents, babies, and young children:
Tree Babies: Connect with nature alongside your baby through mindful experiences offered in all seasons.
Baby Massage: Suitable from 8 weeks old, this beautiful practice uses touch to calm and strengthen your bond with your baby.
Baby Yoga: An opportunity to work with your baby to develop their core strength and cross-body coordination.
Stay and Play: For early walkers to 5-year-olds, this perfect space lets your children and you connect with nature through play experiences, getting messy, and enjoying the wonders of the outdoors.
Adult Classes (Coming soon!): Forest bathing, mindfulness, and adult craft sessions working with natural materials.
Come along to share mindful, nature-based activities with your children, grab a warm drink, and chat with other adults. Or take some time to consider your own needs and the importance of self-care. Join us and be part of our supportive community!
