    **I have moved to Liverpool for a perinatal mental health practitioner post, whilst I train in counselling and psychotherapy. I will not be running any courses in Nottingham for the remainder of 2026. For new mum/ parenting advice, do check out our blog page or download my ‘Breastfeeding Dos and Don’ts Guide’. 

My partner has been attending the postnatal sessions for both of our boys and through that I’ve had a lot of interaction with Liv myself. Her time, advice and support has honestly been invaluable! My partner clearly got a lot of value out of the sessions and learnt new things each week and we’ve both made some great friendships with the other parents. It’s unique to find this kind of support and we feel lucky to have had access to it – a proper lifeline for all new parents!

Invaluable advice and support

I've completed The Postnatal Plan not once but twice and it was just as helpful and lovely the second time around. There's 3 and half years between my boys and it's surprising how much you forget! This service is absolutely priceless for new parents. The classes are worth every penny and I can safely say I would even attend again if a third baby ever came along, that is how much I rate lotus maternity.

Hands down the BEST group I have been to

Wow… The Postnatal Plan! Liv is so lovely and the girls in the group were all so welcoming. It’s so informative and I can’t believe how much you learn whilst still enjoying yourself, chatting away to Liv and the other mummies! I highly recommend it and I will definitely be returning when I have my second baby! The group and Liv are just amazing.

A real life line

The Postnatal Plan was such a special experience - a real life line as a new mum! Olivia is so warm, welcoming, supportive and knowledgeable. Her sessions are so informative and she creates a safe and non-judgemental space. I met a really great group of mums through this course and we’re still meeting up for coffee months on. Would highly recommend to any new mum!

Want to do it all over again!

I first came to one of Olivia’s Postnatal Plan classes when I was around 38 weeks pregnant- despite not yet having baby in arms yet, I couldn’t have been more welcomed. After my little girl arrived I really battled with breast feeding and my emotions in those first few weeks. Having a group of other mums, and expert advice and support from Olivia, really got me through the first few weeks and normalised finding motherhood tough! I have learnt so much from the classes and always looked forward to my Thursday morning coffee, chat and invaluable advice! I have made some wonderful friends and we continue to meet up most Thursdays, despite the classes finishing almost 2 months ago! Highly recommend, thank you for everything! x
