"Mama's Retreat was a fantastic experience and I’d recommend it not only to first time mums-to-be, but also to those second-time mums, who like me wanted a refresher of how this journey is going to feel like.
Having to go through my first pregnancy during COVID meant that we were very limited at that time, and I always felt that a more hands-on, personal experience would have given me a much better perspective of what’s to come. This course gave me exactly that. All talks were very engaging and the lessons learned are going to stick with me forever. It was perfectly organized and incorporated a good mix of activities since apart from talks by professionals, we had a Pilates session, hands-on activities, and some time in between to get to know the other mums-to-be.”
