The Blissful Group - Burgess Hill

I would recommend Toni’s classes to anyone at all stages of pregnancy - attending fast became a highlight of my week! Toni creates a warm, friendly and informative environment and she offered plenty of practical advice about all things related to pregnancy and birth. The exercises were tailored to the attendees each week and the stretches helped my back pain throughout my last trimester. I’m already missing the relaxation at the end of each session and am looking forward to booking into more of Toni’s classes in the future.

I joined Blissful pregnancy swimming classes at 15 weeks pregnant and although physically I probably didn’t need to attend, it was the best thing I did in my pregnancy. The first part of the session you get to discuss with others in the group how you’re feeling, and for me this helped me so much mentally. As my bump grew the classes were so helpful with the symptoms I was getting and I enjoyed every week until my due date!
Toni is so kind and caring and tailored excercises based on how you’re feeling that week.
The pool is also lovely and warm! I can’t recommend Toni and the class enough!

I recently completed a Baby Massage course with Toni from the Blissful group and thoroughly enjoyed each session. Toni was kind and just very nice natured which created a lovely atmosphere in our small group. My baby definitely saw the benefits of massage and I have continued to practice what I had learnt with Toni. I would highly recommend anyone to complete this course, especially with Toni

These pregnancy aqua yoga classes are an excellent way to relax, meet other pregnant ladies and ease pregnancy related pains. My pelvic girdle has pain much improved after starting the classes, to the point of total resolution towards the end of the pregnancy.
Toni is really kind and supportive, she always adapts the exercises and makes the class a very friendly enjoyable event. I can’t recommend it enough.

I've had my share of anxiety over the course of my pregnancy journey, but attending classes with Toni have been a game-changer. The exercises are not only gentle but effective, tailored to how you are feeling and any aches or pains you may have. The soothing environment and Toni's support has truly had a positive impact on my mental and physical wellbeing, making me feel more prepared and confident as my pregnancy has progressed. Highly recommend for any expectant mum, especially if you are looking for a way to relax, exercise safely and get ready for the big day!

I absolutely loved going to Toni’s classes while I was pregnant; the atmosphere which Toni creates amongst the group is so friendly and relaxing. I’m so glad I did her sessions, I absolutely loved them and felt so good after each one! Toni’s knowledge of various things related to pregnancy/birth was incredible and I felt very safe in her classes.

During the sessions I would often visualise a water birth during the breathing and relaxation parts of each session. I find it fascinating that during my contractions I was instinctively visualising being in the pool during Toni’s sessions and doing all the exercises to open my pelvis. I honestly believe her sessions contributed to the mindset and physical readiness I took with me into this labour, so I cannot thank her enough.

Toni has created a wonderful space to come and feel relaxed in the water before birth. I joined a class quite late on in my pregnancy and wished I could have joined sooner! Being in the water feels so nice especially in those later weeks when you can feel very heavy! The exercises are tailored to suit you personally and Toni goes out of her way to listen and understand your body on an individual basis. I hope to be able to join after my baby in born in a post natal class. It’s always a great way to meet other people in your local community.

Been a saviour throughout my pregnancy. Classes are a great chance to have some relaxation time and meet other mums at a similar stage. Toni is also fantastic at giving advice for different aches and pains throughout each stage. Would recommend to anyone!
