OUR STORY
How Bond was born
Hi! My name is Katie and I’m the founder of Bond.
Our story started in 2023, beginning with baby massage and yoga to local families, and have since gone from strength to strength, now adding Hypnobirthing and Sound Bath sessions to our range of classes.
I've always been a strong believer in carving out time just to bond with your baby; making space in what can be a hectic and tiring time in life. Although we spend every minute with our children, having a session to really connect and be together outside of the day-to-day routine is so refreshing.
I attended baby massage and yoga classes with my two children who are now a little older - Esme is 11 and Miles is 7. As well as experiencing all the lovely benefits that the classes brought, I loved how much closer I felt to my son and daughter after the sessions. I also really appreciated meeting other parents in the classes, as being a new parent can be isolating.
And so...along came Bond!
When I fell pregnant with my son, I decided that I wanted to feel more prepared and relaxed than I had when I had given birth to my daughter, and so I signed up for a hypnobirthing course. Some may find it difficult to believe, but my
second birth was an amazingly positive experience. Since this time, I always knew that I wanted to train to become a hypnobirthing teacher. Once I had my baby massage and yoga classes running, I obtained my hypnobirthing diploma. My passion is to help and support as many parents as I can, to give them the knowledge to make informed decisions, and provide them with the tools to have their most positive birth experience.
Finally, I wanted to add something special to some of my one off events. Having attended and loved sound baths myself, and experienced the amazing benefits that they bring, I decided to book on to an advanced sound training course and become a sound practitioner.
My biggest hope is that you find our Bond sessions - whichever one you choose - welcoming, supportive, fun and worthwhile. I can't wait for you to become part of our family and make life-long friends.
What our lovely parents say about us
Thoughts from the (second) most important people
Thank you so much for a lovely five weeks, it has been a pleasure. Your relaxing and calming personality has made it easy and enjoyable to attend. I can't recommend enough.
Since doing the classes I'm dedicating more time to settle my baby without getting stressed.
Katie made both Orla and I feel at complete ease from the moment we walked in. I was nervous to attend classes being a first-time mum, but now I wonder why I was nervous!
The classes helped me to soothe my baby, reduce crying and helped to relieve my baby's colic.
