Forty Weeks

with Kirsty Hawthorn

Choosing the right support during pregnancy is crucial. At Forty Weeks, I specialise in a holistic blend of clinical care, therapies, classes, and training, each thoughtfully designed for this significant phase of your life. Conducted by an experienced midwife actively engaged in clinical practice, all treatments merge practical, working knowledge of conventional medical care with therapeutic expertise. From yoga and massage to reflexology, aromatherapy and acupuncture each service is tailored to support your unique pregnancy, birth, and postnatal journey.

My commitment to excellence extends to the comprehensive educational programme. In partnership with the International Association of Infant Massage, I lmerge clinical experience within a holistic framework to offer enriching teacher training courses. These courses are designed to foster nurturing touch and support the families you serve. Collaborating with various organisations, we ensure our programmes resonate with safeguarding principles and community support.

At Forty Weeks, all endeavours are underpinned by evidence-based research, ensuring you receive informed, compassionate, and effective care at every step.
