If you haven’t heard of it before, 6 Week Social is a friendly, supportive postnatal course created especially for new mums.
It’s not just a baby class for new mums in Berkhamsted. This is about mums postnatal recovery. So often forgotten in that haze of life changes that occur as you become a parent or your family grows.
It’s a postnatal course to aid your healing and recovery and help you through the fourth trimester.
I’ve been teaching antenatal classes & supporting parents up until they have their babies for over 10 years.
I often bump into the parents I teach locally. My ‘new mum coffee mornings’ stopped running after covid. So when Emily, from 6 Week Social approached me to ask if I’d like to host the 6 Week Social postnatal course in Berkhamsted, I jumped at the chance.
Those first few months after having a baby can feel overwhelming, lonely or even a bit of a blur. That’s exactly where 6 Week Social comes in.
Over 6 weekly meet-ups, new mums come together. Each week we share, chat, laugh (sometimes cry!) and make real connections.
Each session is hosted in a easy accessible & welcoming space in Berkhamsted. Giving you the chance to get out the house and spend time with others who truly understand what you’re going through.
What makes our postnatal course so special? It’s not just about making friends – although that’s one of the loveliest parts.
Each week we have a guest speaker. All are all local women’s health specialists, bringing their wisdom and guidance on all things motherhood and wellbeing. We discuss sleep and feeding support. As well as looking after your mental health and self-care tips.
The course is designed to help you feel a little more confident and a lot less alone.

As an antenatal & hypnobirthing teacher in Tring, I’ve seen how important it is for women to feel supported and connected throughout pregnancy and birth. But I also know that the postnatal journey can be just as challenging, and that’s why I’m thrilled to be hosting 6 Week Social in Berkhamsted. It’s such a wonderful way for mums to build their village, right from the very beginning.
