Hi, I’m Torie. I work with parents and families through pregnancy and beyond to ensure they feel supported and held in their early parenting journeys

Every month I run group courses to help expectant parents feel calm, confident and excited about their birth. My modern, inclusive approach to birth preparation is perfect for anyone wanting to prepare positively for their birth, without fear. My course is a full hypnobirthing and antenatal course and is the perfect opportunity to meet other expectant parents due at a similar time. Each month I host a free ‘Introduction to Hypnobirthing’ session here in Coggeshall for you to find out more. Visit www.thisiskinship.com to book.

Kinship Circles are weekly gatherings where mothers can relax, connect and feel heard in their postpartum time. Each circle runs as a four-week block, to build familiarity with the same group, and they run six times a year in line with school half terms. These are for all mothers, both cis and trans, and non-binary parents who feel comfortable in a space that centres on the experiences of women. You are welcome to attend in pregnancy and with a pre-crawling baby. Each block a free community space is available to someone who would like to attend but doesn’t have the funds. Book directly through my website: www.thisiskinship.com

Each month in the Kinship space on Church Street, I host a ‘Coffee + Connect’ drop in meetup for all parents & caregivers. There are beautiful toys and process art activities for the babies and children, or you can come with your bump, but the real focus here is a space for you to relax and connect. See www.thisiskinship.com ‘Community’ tab for upcoming dates.
