My clients love my antenatal classes!

We really enjoyed our 6 weeks of antenatal classes with Janine, she is truly lovely and provided us with all the information we needed for labour and coming home with our new baby. The class was a great size and we felt very comfortable asking any questions we had and the whole time we knew we were getting top quality advice. I highly recommend From Bellies to Babies for your antenatal classes if you live in the Hawkes Bay! C. Roberts

⭐️Janine came highly recommended by my midwife and I can see why. Janine is a wealth of information! From questions about birthing to nappies to super market shopping Janine always had an answer filling both myself and my
​partner with confidence for our upcoming little one.
I highly recommend anyone to take Janine's classes to have access to all her knowledge but to also have fun! K. Harrowell

My husband and I have just completed our six-week introduction in how to survive parenting with Janine from Bellies to Babies. We had the BEST group of soon to be parents, and I daresay it won't be too long before we're meeting up for cocktails once the babies are earthside. Janine provided a fun and informative program which covers every aspect of newborn parenting, and although we walked away from some classes thinking what have we got ourselves in for; if we hadn't attended we would have an unrealistic outlook on what newborn babies entail! I can only imagine that our husbands can feel a bit isolated from the physical aspects of pregnancy but Janine did a fantastic job of making them feel included, and in fact, some of the best questions came from the boys. So, if you are looking for a safe space to learn how to raise a baby, where there is no judgment or any question that is too hard to answer, then we highly, highly, highly recommend Janine to help you on your journey. A.Price 

We loved going to our Antenatal classes each week, they are really informative and I would highly recommend any new Mum and Dad to attend to give your baby the best start in life. Janine is extremely friendly and passionate about educating parents and was always up for a laugh while talking about a subject that can be quite overwhelming. Thank you Janine the effort and knowledge passed on will be forever appreciated. H. Payne 

100% recommend Janine and Bellies to Babies for your antenatal classes. She has a wealth of knowledge and a super easy and chill way of delivering in a safe and engaging environment. We met an awesome group of people that we have already created strong friendships with as we venture into parenthood together. Thanks so much for everything Janine I. Crawshaw

My husband and I both learnt so much more than we expected to from the classes. Janine made them interesting, and was easy to engage with if you had any questions. Our group of mamas and papas to be was awesome too! So no doubt we will all be keeping in touch once all the wee babes are born. B.Cummings
