Meet Our Marvellous Mumpreneurs|Becky Roberts

Meet Becky, our next Marvellous Mumpreneur. She tells us the inspiration behind starting her business and what services she offers mums to be and mums in the local area.

1. Describe your business or the service you offer.

“My Business is called Blossom and I offer pre & postnatal support to women and their families. My services include: Hypnobirthing, Birth & Postnatal Doula, Breastfeeding Support, Baby Massage & Beyond.”

2. Tell us about your inspiration for starting your business.

“I started Blossom when I was on Maternity Leave with my son. I had taken part in hypnobirthing myself when pregnant and my birth was the right birth for me and my son. It was still 25 hours, with an epidural and was an assisted delivery. But to me it was perfect. Having spent most of my entire working carer in and around children / babies & families the frequent recurrence of birth horror stories and how families were only having one as they’d never want to go through birth again or none at all to avoid the terror, made me really sad.

Birth is a natural, normal event and nobody should be scared, anxious or avoid doing it because of a horror story they’ve heard. So, with this in mind, and how mentally I was excited to experience labour and never had ‘the fear’, I thought every women should have this opportunity. Every women should feel calm, relaxed and in control to the lead up and during their labour and birth.

I then trained in Hypnobirthing and Blossom, blossomed! Once I qualified in one area, I wanted to keep adding strings to my bow. I was very fortunate with my experience as I have so many family members close by. However, for some this isn’t the case. I then had this idea that I wanted to provide all families with the same support I got. Antenatally, postnatally and then months / years down the line. So no one was alone. No one was faced with having to do it all without a helping hand. Blossom, blossomed once again and I now run a service when I offer continuity of care, for birth, bump and beyond.”

3. Who is your business aimed at?

“Blossom is aimed at local women and their families. Antenatally to postnatally.”

4. What’s your favourite thing about Aylesbury?

“My favourite thing about Aylesbury is that it’s home. I’ve lived in and around Aylesbury my whole life. There are memories in every corner. It’s where I had my first job, made great friends, met the love of my life, brought my first house, birthed my child and started my business. But you will find me having a cheeky cocktail at Temple Street Wine Bar or The Craft Yard.”

5. Do you have any events coming up or can you recommend any?

YES! So I’m always running Baby Massage classes. They run in blocks of 4 which you can find dates / venues and times on my website. www.blossom-uk.com. I also have a Baby Massage DROP IN and shop session happening on the 30th March 2019. (Details to follow soon.) This 2.5 hour event will give all families who have taken part in Baby Massage before (doesn’t have to be with me) an opportunity to refresh their minds, learns some new strokes and spend one hours dedicated time with their little one. After the massage session, there will be tea, coffee and cakes (all home made!) as well as a chance to shop from some other local businesses. I will be advertising all this through social media.

6. Do you have any special offers for our followers?

At the moment I currently offering all hypnobirthing clients FREE tickets to The Baby Show London ExCel. There are 6 pairs of tickets ready to give away.
