We loved the baby massage course! Jacqueline was a lovely teacher and made us feel at ease, not only that but I couldn’t make the last session so she took time out of her day to help me catch up via a zoom session.

I had a pretty fussy baby which I had to feed/rock and was made to feel very comfortable to do so. Would definitely recommend this course, can’t wait to continue to strengthen our bond through massage!

I cannot recommend the 3 step rewind with Jacqueline enough. Following the birth of my daughter, I was diagnosed with PTSD and anxiety. I met Jacqueline as she ran the baby massage course I booked. When I learned that she also helped with birth trauma I asked her for some more information. We had a chat about my experience and Jacqueline felt the technique could help.

I am a little skeptical by nature anyway, even more so during that time in my life but I was in disbelief after my sessions with Jacqueline. After months of nightmares, flashbacks and intrusive thoughts, I felt free. I remember everything from the birth and the events afterwards but I look at them from a completely new perspective. It really was like a switch was flicked. I couldn't believe it. My skepticism had me thinking this feeling would wear off and the intrusive thoughts and flashbacks would creep back in but they haven't. I feel like me again.

I would recommend this technique to anyone. 3 sessions is all it takes. It really is amazing. I can't thank Jacqueline enough.

Really enjoyed the Baby Massage course with Jacqueline Harthill. She has a lovely teaching style and knows loads about babies and massage, and clearly loves little ones! Also really appreciated the weekly summary email with extra resources attached. Thanks Jacqueline!

Danni (November 2022)

Thank you so much for teaching a really wonderful baby massage course. Your care for babies and parents has been a genuinely beautiful thing to experience. My son has definitely felt the love too.

Hannah (March 2022)

I found your (hypnobirthing) course incredibly helpful. In the run up to the birth, I used your handbook and MP3s again and again to soothe and reassure me and to prepare me for what lay ahead. During the birth, I used the wisdom, knowledge and skills from my time with you to make it as positive and empowering as it could be. Thank you for your kindness and generosity and for playing a fundamental part in the safe delivery of my beautiful baby. I’ll never forget what you’ve done for us.

Caroline (17.11.21)

We really enjoyed the (baby massage) classes and will miss them. N sleeps well after a massage and I feel it has brought us closer. Thank you from me and N.

Michaela (10.11.21)

My baby girl and I really enjoyed the course. It's great for bonding, relaxation and I learnt techniques which massively helped with my daughters digestion/trapped wind etc. The instructor, Jacqueline is wonderful; so friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this course.

Katrina and Matt (01.11.21)

(Hypnobirthing Birth Preparation) Fantastic course! Highly recommend to anyone who wants confidence and calmness.

Minnie-Mae and Orson (31.10.21)

Jaqueline was such a rock of support and strength to us during our pregnancy. Her antenatal hypnobirthing helped us so much with confidence, calmness, gaining mental strength and connecting with our situation ! I couldn’t recommend her wonderful services more.

Katie (29.10.21)

This course is fantastic! Really baby friendly pacing and a very accommodating teacher. We try to give our baby a massage every evening as part of her bedtime routine and it's a nice chunk of time to focus solely on her - good for eye contact too! Can't recommend it enough :)

Heled (08.06.21)

There are lots of baby massage classes around but at this one you will feel welcome and cared for. The sessions are taught with knowledge and understanding. If your baby does a poonami or cries the whole time it’s not a problem. Great class , great teacher.

Alison and Jamie (02.02.21)

My husband and I were looking for a hypnobirthing to calm my nerves during pregnancy and help me prepare for labour. My husband was dubious about how hypnobirthing would help me, but was supportive to try it out. Hypnobirthing exceeded both of our expectations and we looked forward to our sessions with Jacqueline each week. We finished the course feeling educated and empowered to make decisions about our delivery and felt more prepared to get through it together despite the restrictions that pandemic brought. Thank you Jacqueline for a lovely informative course.

Alice and Jeremy (18.01.21)

I liked how the course aimed to involve the birthing partner as a significant part of this journey and that really helped prepare Jeremy for the labour and birth and to not be afraid or anxious about it. There was an abundance of information which we found really helpful, so we could understand each stage of labour and so we didn’t go into this without much knowledge of what was happening. The Mp3s I found particularly useful in the weeks leading up to the big day, even though I knew I was going to have an induction in the end. It helped me to centre myself and focus on my visualisations and anchors.

Kath (17.09.20)

I can not recommend Jacqueline and her baby massage course enough. I signed up just before lockdown and I am so glad as Jacqueline’s course was my lifeline to other mums and the outside world. When the class couldn’t be offered in person, Jacqueline ran an online version which was great. Jacqui also runs coffee mornings and sends insightful emails. The amount I have got from signing up to just this one class is amazing. Thank you Jacqueline

Laura and Ivy (12.07.20)

I cannot recommend The Happy Parents’ Club enough to support you on your journey into parenthood. Ours started with the hypnobirthing course which was informative yet relaxed, with plenty of opportunity for my husband and I to reflect on what we would both need for the birth and how we could lean on each other, along with tips for the early days. As my due date came and went, the weekly emails from Jacqueline and the offer of additional support for an induction made me feel that I had an advocate on the sidelines and gave me so much more confidence - such an important tool given that our baby was born at the beginning of lockdown!

I then did the baby massage course over Zoom, (again due to lockdown) when our LO was six weeks old. Not only was the teaching clear but the “theory” was really interesting and supported why massaging is so important. Baby didn’t play ball for any of the sessions, either being grumpy or asleep but there was no pressure and I felt empowered to learn the techniques in the session and then practise them in our own time - such a relief for an over tired and overwhelmed new mother! The weekly check ins with Jacqueline were such a help too, she is genuinely interested in how you are getting on and is full of calm and supportive wisdom.

Caroline (review left on Hoop - 10.06.20)

We signed up for baby massage classes with Jacqueline when our twin boys were 6 months old. It's something I had always wanted to do and I am so glad we got the opportunity before they were too old. The experience was fantastic, really exceeding my expectations - giving me a deeper understanding of the connections between parent and baby as well as the technical massage skills. Jacqueline has a lovely, calm manner and is very informative about massage and lots of different aspects of parenting and the setting for the class was tranquil and intimate. Highly recommended.

Samantha (Review left on Hoop - 04.06.20)

Great online baby massage course. Just completed with my 8 month old but great for any age pre-crawling baby. Learnt some really great skills and the online course worked really well. Jacqueline was fantastic and also very supportive. Further, Jacqueline facilitated communication between the parents doing the course. Great to virtually meet some other parents and bubs in this time.

Jodie and Rex (29.05.20)

Jacqueline’s baby massage classes were wonderful, she is very knowledgeable. Half way through the course my baby had to have a Pavlic harness fitted, and Jacqueline couldn't have been more accommodating and supportive, really going out of her way to make sure we didn't miss out and adapting the massage to suit Rex's needs. Rex loves the massage and it’s a really beautiful way to spend time with the mini ones! I can whole heartedly recommend this course.

Ellen (Review left on Hoop - 03.03.20)

The baby massage routine was excellent, and Jacqueline was very friendly and knowledgeable. Jacqueline encouraged the group to get to know each other, and suggested ways to continue massage as our babies age. Our family is really enjoying it!

Ella and Winnie (18.11.19)

Jacqueline is an excellent teacher, both my baby and I really enjoyed baby massage. Jacqueline creates a calm and welcoming environment to learn and took a genuine interest in me and my baby. This was also a lovely opportunity to meet other local parents. Even now that the course is finished, Jacqueline has stayed in touch and is creating a network of local parents. I highly recommend the baby massage course and wish I had come across Jacqueline for hypnobirthing before my little one arrived.

Melissa and Theodore (08.11.19)

And just like that, my baby is no longer a new born and has just completed his last proper “baby, baby” class. (And received his first certificate. 😂)

Baby massage was so much more than just that. it was a support group for new parents, a place to make friends, share our babies triumphs in the mile stones they’ve made during the time on the course, and a safe place to feel understood on the mornings you are feeling overwhelmed with exhaustion. We had lots of giggles. I enjoyed that class just as much as Theodore enjoys his back massage. (Which is a lot!!! Literally dribbles and everything! 😂)

Thank you Jacqueline.

Rose and Ada (02.09.19)

Lovely baby massage class in relaxed environment at Jacquelines home. No problem if your baby doesn’t want to be massaged every session as there are dolls to practice on. Jacqueline is great at going over the different massage techniques as much as you want, there is no rush to get things done within the hour. Have recommended to my friends!

Chloe and Molly (29.08.19)

The birth was incredible - the latent phase was very quick and, before I knew it, I was in active labour so I didn’t have time to use the MP3s or scripts but I didn’t panic about this because I kept going back to the affirmation cards instead and they helped such a lot. Amazingly, I didn’t find labour painful at all, except right at the end, and I kept thinking about you saying it was uncomfortable rather than painful and a ‘surge’ rather than a contraction - it all helped as it felt exactly like that. I definitely felt calm and confident that my body and baby knew what to do and, as a result, her heartbeat remained strong throughout and it was a ver straightforward birth. Thanks so much for your help and being part of our journey.

Helen and beatrix (14.08.19)

I’ve been doing so much hypnosis listening to the scripts, I’m just taking it in my stride. Labour was quite long but the scripts and visualisations helped loads throughout. Thank you.

Jo and Toby (19.07.19)

Jacqueline was always very friendly/welcoming and reasssuring - especially when the babies were not ready to be massaged (e.g. sleeping/feeding). She was very happy to answer any questions. I really enjoyed the programme and look forward to continuing to use massage to bond with my baby as he grows.

Claudia and Ami (08.07.19)

Thanks for all your help - it certainly set us up well!

Mel and Margo (17.06.19)

A fantastic baby massage course that I would thoroughly recommend. Jacqueline was extremely friendly, helpful, flexible and understanding of a new mother’s needs! The teaching was clear and supported by resources that we got to keep :-D The massage particularly helped my little one who had been suffering from painful gas. I started the course when my baby was just a few weeks old which means that I have lots of time to do it with her :-D A wonderful experience....thank you Jacqueline!!!! We will miss our sessions with you.

Claire and Ed (13.05.19)

Jacqueline taught me baby massage for my first child. It quickly became our favourite time of the day! Not only is it calming for both of you but it really brings a sense of togetherness. Jacqueline was calm, caring and intuitive- she broke it down for us created a lovely learning experience for us. Would definitely recommend.

Beth and Dottie (16.04.19)

Thank you so much, Jacqueline. We’ve loved it and will definitely be using our new skills at home regularly. We’ve really enjoyed getting to know you - you’ve been great with Dottie.

Jenny and Harry (12.04.19)

We took part in a baby massaging class with Jacqueline when my baby was a few months old. The classes were fantastic and we learnt so much!! My little boy suffered a bit from colic so some of the massaging techniques we learnt were invaluable in helping him become more comfortable and a happy baby! Highly recommended! X

Louise and Olivia (10.04.19)

We have just completed a five-week baby massage class. Olivia being six and half months when starting, I was really worried about her losing focus but Jacqueline is so calm and welcoming Olivia really surprised me, taking everything in and enjoying the massages.

It’s such a lovely, welcoming, relaxing class, it’s very informative and I felt like I learnt something every week. All the mums being relaxed have the quiet time with their babies. Although I spend all day with Olivia, it’s nice just to have that quiet time away from technology, the hustle of everyday life, to appreciate the little things. 

Thank you so much Jacqueline for the last five weeks. It was a pleasure to meet you! Me and Olivia will miss not seeing you on a Wednesday.

Miri and Izzy (15.03.19)

We can highly recommend The Happy Parents' Club /Jacqueline. We had a very nice experience learning baby massage. We received lots of very useful and practical advice and reassurance and my baby daughter still enjoys the baby massage now.

Baby massage is part of our bedtime routine still but I often do a feet massage for my baby after a nappy change as my baby loves it.

Baby massage helped my baby when she was very colicky.

Jacqueline is very kind,caring and knowledgeable.Her advice came at the right time when we needed it most. Thank you sooo much for your help Jacqueline.

Eleanor and Chris (06.03.19)

The hypnobirthing course we did through The Happy Parents' Club completely altered our mindset around labour, (as much for my husband as for me!)

We didn't end up doing any additional antenatal classes, as this provided us with all the confidence, reassurance and knowledge we needed to have a very calm birth.

I've recommended it to all my pregnant friends!

Thank you, Jacqueline :)

Casie and Tom (28.02.19)

We were lucky enough to be clients of THPC last March 2018 when I was pregnant with our first baby. We booked onto the five week hypnobirthing course with Jacqueline, not really knowing what to expect. 

We were pleasantly surprised (especially my husband who is a bit sceptical) and now can’t recommend this course enough to everyone! 

We learned how to hypnobirth and, something we weren’t expecting, was how educational about the birthing process the course would be. 

We had such a positive experience that we chose to have a home birth as we felt so confident about labour. 

I had an incredible experience giving birth to my son and attribute this to the hypnobirthing techniques we used. Thank you to THPC! We have a very jolly and content son and I’m sure this is because he had such a lovely arrival into the world.
