Welcome to Littlest Star

I’m Emily, mother of 2. My eldest was born in 2018 and my youngest in 2020. I have started Littlest Star to offer parenting support workshops/classes in three of the most important, I feel, areas of parenting that often are missed.

Pregnancy yoga classes 
A safe, nourishing online space for wonderful parents to be. My friendly, relaxing classes will provide you with a 1-hour session per week, booked in blocks, of breathing, relaxation, gentle yoga and bonding time between you and your bump. (read more)

Labour and birth focusing on you, your well-being and birth from the babies perspective
I feel it’s important to give birthing parents the tools to enable them to be empowered. It is important to have and use your voice, your thoughts and wishes during this very important time. Our workshop is designed to help empower you to have the birth experience that is right for you. (read more)

Fourth-trimester well-being focusing on you,
My personal experience after the birth of both of my babies was that everything was focused on them and at times I felt lost. I feel that while focussing on the baby is very important but we also need to focus on ourselves. With the help of family, friends and my fourth-trimester well-being workshop you should be able to do just that. (read more)

Potty training the play way
The other area of parenting that I feel is not focused on enough is potty training. I hear you, there are books galore, family and friends top tips etc. I’ve heard and experienced it personally but what I didn’t hear was potty training the play way (let’s think child-led). Which is an amazing alternative. So, here I am. Offering our gentle, gorgeous and very informative Fourth-trimester well-being and Potty training the play way workshops. (read more)

While we make no guarantees, as every fourth-trimester experience and potty training experience is different, we aim to give you the tools to help you in every way we can. 

Online and accessible to all families across the UK who would like to join us. For more information; scroll on down.

I hope to see you soon.

Let’s talk labour and birth online workshop 

Littlest Star’s Let’s talk labour and birth workshop is a 2-hour group session (or 1.5 hour 1:1 session). It is packed full of all the core information you need to know about labour and birth. It is not your ‘traditional’ antenatal session as it takes a holistic view of the whole labour and birth process. 

What’s included? 

We start with a brief introduction to our session, what to expect from the session and an ice breaker. 

We then have a 20-minute relaxation, calm stretching and pregnancy yoga session. We then move on to discuss the labour and birth process – from early labour all the way through to the golden hour. After each stage of the process, we have a group discussion and mini Q&A session. We then move on to discuss birth from a baby’s perspective. 

We then have a 10 minute guided relaxation at the end of the session. 

When are the next workshops?

All sessions are currently online using Zoom. 1:1 workshops are available – please contact me to discuss.

Littlest star’s fourth-trimester well-being workshop is a 2-hour group session (or 1.5 hours on a 1:1). It is packed full of fourth-trimester goodness. 

What’s included? 

We start with a brief introduction to our session, what to expect from the session and an ice breaker. Then we have a 20-minute fourth trimester gentle exercise session. After this we move on to discuss topics such as what is the fourth trimester, what might I expect from the fourth trimester, physical health during this period, postnatal nutrition and wellness, emotional well-being, perinatal mental health and birth trauma. We go onto have a relaxed question and answer section (no question is too small). We finish our session with a 10-minute relaxation. 

After our session, you will be emailed A Parent Workbook including recipes, natural postnatal recovery remedies and gentle exercise.

Potty training the play way online workshop 

Littlest Star’s potty training the play way workshop is a 2 hour group session (or 1.5 hour   1:1 session). It is packed full of great information and ways to make potty training fun. There are obviously no guarantees with potty training and each situation is unique however with this workshop we aim to give you the fundamentals to support you and your little one to achieve this milestone. 

What’s included? 

We start with a brief introduction to our session, what to expect from the session and an ice breaker. 

We discuss our expectations of potty training, what potty training may have looked like when participants were children and then get fully stuck in. We discuss ways to empower you (the parent/ caregiver) to take a relaxed, gentle and responsive approach to potty training. We will look at physical, emotional and cognitive readiness. We will discuss theories and research into potty training. We explore different ways in which stories, play and fun with your little one(s) can support them to develop the skills they need to potty train. We look at ways in which to respond to regressions, refusals and accidents turning what may be seen as negatives into positive learning experiences. 

After our session, you will be emailed a potty training the play-way, parent’s workbook guide that you can review and use moving forward.
