Through it I was also able to use the services of a fantastic photographer who took some gorgeous photos of my little one. Definitely recommend Baby Talk for all new mums.

Laura Mc: The newborn period can be an isolating time, throw in national lockdown and the summer of 2020 with a newborn and a toddler having recently moved to Kingston was looking pretty daunting. Then I met Dani and a lovely community of new mums; went on social distanced walks, had spaced out picnic mat gatherings, outdoor fitness and yoga classes come rain or shine, zoom classes, back to outdoors, then finally being able to meet and have classes indoors. All organised really well with lovely, local instructors and an eye on keep things flexible and costs down and building that village. Can't recommend highly enough. Thank you so much!

LS Stride: Great course, very helpful & not intimidating. Very friendly and in depth. Prepared us very well for the arrival of our little one. Katie - a midwife at the hospital was amazing. Would highly recommend

H S: I enjoyed the classes a lot and loved to meet so many mums. I would highly recommend it to everyone that is looking for activities with a baby and there is a great variety of classes. Pilates with Lauren and outdoor fitness with Sam were amazing and helped me to strengthen my body again. The club owner manages everything perfectly and you can feel that she puts her heart into it. Thanks for the past months!

Ella King: Loved these classes! Great to be active in a low pressure environment and the club leader always responds to queries so quickly and efficiently. Lots of things to try for mum and baby. Very welcoming club. Thanks

SR D: Having joined Busylizzy when I was pregnant for the pregnancy pilates and yoga, and carried on through to the baby classes, I can honestly say this club has been such a highlight of my maternity leave. The memories of attending the baby classes with my little one will be forever cherished. The club provides a safe network of other mum's who are on a similar journey, and through this, some special friendships have been made. Thank you Jacinta for all the incredible effort you go to in making this club as awesome as it is! Also a special thank you to all the instructors and those who run the classes, you guys are amazing! My little one and I have massively enjoyed our time with you x

Annabelle Morrow: ; the business is extremely efficiently run by Jacinta and I've made some fabulous friends - in short, I got out of it exactly what I wanted and cannot recommend it enough.

Matilda Rone-Clarke: An amazing and flexible way to get back into fitness after having a baby! There’s a brilliant mix of local classes for mums as well as fun sessions for babies. I have loved being a member and will miss it when I’m back at work!

Iona Thomas: I joined Busylizzy when my baby was about 3 months and just about to finish now she’s at 11 months as she’s about to start nursery. I did the unlimited package and it was the best money spent! Having something to get out of the house for every day - for both the fitness classes and baby classes was great, and also was great to meet other mums. Would definitely recommend for any new mums !

Alisha Campbell: I cannot recommend Busy Lizzy enough! I signed up as soon as I got the all clear from my GP and remained a member until I returned to work. The instructors are great at supporting all the women on their postpartum fitness journey, and I felt they helped me slowly rebuild my strength and stamina over the months. They also have a wide variety of baby classes that are conveniently timed for either before or after the fitness classes. The venues are well chosen and it was always very easy to bring my daughter along in the buggy or carrier, and to change and/or feed her during the classes. The best decision I made for my physical and mental health and to make the most of my maternity leave.

kirsten verma: Loved working out with my pram, and meeting new mums! Sams bootcamp is a must!

Karisha Hargovan: Buzzylizzy Richmond & Twickenham is a truly fantastic club. It is so well organized and run, with an activity for both mum and baby almost every day of the week. The classes are great for baby’s development and for mums to get out of the house and back in shape postpartum. It really was an amazing experience, and transformed my maternity leave as I got to meet some lovely ladies who I now call my friends. I would 100% recommend Buzzylizzy to all new mums!

Sofia Butt: I joined Busylizzy when my daughter was around 8 weeks old and it provided a great way to meet other mums in the area as well as trying to get back in shape postpartum! My daughter really enjoyed socialising with other babies and especially loved baby music and baby signing. All the instructors are amazing. I’m sad to be leaving as I’m returning to work but would highly recommend it to new mums as both my daughter and I really did enjoy all the classes!

Oliver and Julia T: Busylizzy offered the perfect community and a wonderful structure for maternity leave. It certainly helped make my time off some of the best months of my life. The classes are wide-ranging and fantastic - my daughter adored the music and baby massage classes and the fitness classes were perfect. We also loved the themed events such as at Halloween. Jacinta is so enthusiastic and welcoming. If you're a Richmond/Twickenham/surrounding area based mum I would definitely recommend joining! Thank you for everything xx

Ciara Ann: Overall, it’s without a doubt worth the money and I’m recommending to any pregnant local friends and family!

Rachel Kuo: Great club with lots of varied classes, and flexibility. Joining really helped me make the most of my maternity leave and my baby was happy too!

Sarah Johnson: I've absolutely loved being a member of Busylizzy! I joined 8 weeks postpartum and found that it was a great way to get some exercise, meet other mummies and for my son to take part in classes such as baby sensory, baby music and socialise with other babies! There are so many different classes to choose from and lots of flexibility for you and your baby, I would recommend it to anyone! I'm moving out of the area and am so disappointed there isn't a Busylizzy group in my new town. Thanks for making the start of my maternity leave so much fun!

Nienke van Gemert: I absolutely loved being a Busylizzy member! I started around 8 weeks postpartum and went to as many classes as possible, both for myself as well as my son. It was inadvertently a great way to establish a routine: a nap in the pram on the walk over every morning, a great workout for myself with my son being entertained by watching the other mommies and babies, a feed in between classes, followed by a baby class and a nap on the way home again. This meant that half our day was already catered for in terms of entertainment, whilst also feeling virtuous having done some exercise, and having some great chats along the way!Busylizzy is a great way to meet other mommies and to 'get you out of the house' every day. The instructors are fantastic, not only in terms of postpartum exercises but they're also great with all the babies, and there is a good variety in classes. Being able to be outside every day, whilst doing something my son absolutely loved, and making some great friends as a result too, has really been an amazing way to spend a proportion of my maternity leave.I left Busylizzy as I'm travelling for a few months and then back to work, so unfortunately it didn't make sense to continue my membership. But I will definitely recommend it to anyone and will be back if I have another baby!Thank you Busylizzy!!

Emily Penn: It's been such a treat to join these sessions over the last year - thank you to the wonderful instructors and organisation behind the scenes. Highly recommended!

Georgina MacMillan: I joined Busylizzy when my son was 8 weeks old! We have loved every minute and have experienced all classes! Hamish loves baby singing and baby signing- Anna is a baby hypnotising genius, she is my sons favourite person and his face lights up every week! Personally I have also really enjoyed the adult fitness classes where I felt comfortable and able to join in despite not being at my fittest and quite self conscious. Friday mornings chill out yoga and strength session has been a brill way to end the week! All instructors are kind, welcoming and really invested in all members which is really special and I found the whole experience really rewarding we’re going to miss it!!!

Sarah Unwin: I’ve attended BusyLizzy classes through both of my mat leaves and absolutely loved it. The flexibility is brilliant- I like being able to book on the day and cancel classes at short notice if plans change. It’s also great being able to mix and match classes for me and baby and not have to use various different entities for sensory/music classes etc. The instructors are all lovely and I find the fitness classes are pitched just right for new mums.

Aimee Kirkpatrick: 8 weeks postpartum I joined the Buzzylizzy community which was a great way to get out and about again the birth of my first son. With the wide variety of classes for both you and your baby, plus the opportunity to speak with other mums, it was just what I needed to help me with my new journey into parenthood. In particular, I really enjoyed the Mummy & Me Bootcamp and Mummy & Me Aerobics, both led by amazing teachers and really helped get my body back into shape.

Rosie Moores: I attend Amelie's Somatic Candlelit Yoga in Kew and highly recommend the class. It is the perfect yoga class. It is slow paced whilst still challenging but always with the option of an easier pose if you'd like. There is no pressure, the atmosphere is so friendly and welcoming. It is my Monday evening escape and sets me up for the week. If I walk in feeling stressed I always walk out feeling so much lighter and relaxed. Thank you Amelie!

Charlotte Davis: I’ve attended Amelie’s Mum & Baby Yoga class since my baby was 5 weeks of age and it’s truly the highlight of our week. Amelie provides a wonderfully safe and judgement free space to allow you to confidently venture out with your newborn and spend some quality bonding time together. I have grown in confidence handling my baby, and really enjoy practicing elements of the class at home with my little one. Would highly recommend her post-natal class to anyone with a newborn. Not only are the classes great, but I also have a fabulous group of mamma friends to lean on.

jessica gazzurelli: Amelie and her maternity yoga classes have been a surprise for me. Never done yoga before, first time pregnant, I joined not knowing what to expect, but ended up staying from week 12 to 35.I enjoyed every moment in class, Amelie is very knowledgeable and made me feel more relaxed, positive and prepared about birth. There was something in her relaxation technique and words that made a difference in my way to approach this journey, for these reasons, I highly recommend her classes to anyone really!Thank you xx

Sarah Bult: Amelie is amazing and such a calming warm presence! I started doing pregnancy yoga with Amelie 1:1 as I felt anxious throughout my pregnancy so wanted personalised sessions which focused specifically on my body. Amelie made me feel completely at ease - I loved our sessions, they were the highlight of my week. The sessions were focused on easing pregnancy aches and pains and invaluable birth prep! Amelie really is a wealth of knowledge in this area.I recently had my postnatal session with Amelie and she really made me feel so encouraged in my new role as a mother, providing great advice and also tips for postnatal recovery. I can’t wait to join her mum and baby yoga classes in a few weeks time.

Tamlyn Curry: I cannot recommend First to Forth’s prenatal yoga classes and the birthing workshop enough! Not only did attending the preggy yoga help me physically for relief from my tailbone pain, but it also became a weekly emotional haven for me. Attending Amelie’s yoga classes was definately a highlight during my pregnancy and allowed me dedicated time to focus on my body and growing baby. The birthing workshop also helped prepare me better for birth and equipped me with tools to make me feel more confident going into what can be an overwhelming, unknown experience. Thank you Amelie for all your support during and after my pregnancy!

Charlotte Bushnell: Amelie's pregnancy yoga classes create a safe space for women to relax, gain a greater awareness of their bodies, and learn practices, such a breathing techniques and positions, that will benefit you and your baby during birth. I have felt a great sense of community in the group classes. Having joined just ahead of my second trimester, I have been able to learn a lot already from other women who are further along in their pregnancy journey. No concern you may have is too small, and Amelie is there to explain what is happening in your body and reassure you. Amelie is a fantastic teacher and I would highly recommend her classes to any expecting mums! I can't wait to join the Birth Skills workshop run by Amelie in September!

lucy corner: I can't recommend Amelie enough! I went to her classes throughout my pregnancy and first 10 months with baby and got so much out of them. Amelie is very knowledgeable in the perinatal field and this allowed me to practice yoga with confidence throughout pregnancy. Her mum and baby classes are so nicely balanced between fun for baby and relaxation for mum, but also full of useful information and support. I have also attended a couple of Amelie's workshops, have gained new insights from both of them and hope to attend more.

Rosie Greaves: Amelie’s class is a real highlight of our week! My little one absolutely loves it, and I really value the ring-fenced time to focus on postpartum repair and connection in the friendly, supportive environment Amelie creates. I also so enjoyed Amelie’s pregnancy yoga classes. Even though it was difficult to find time around work and two older children, Amelie was so flexible and accommodating and I am so glad I got to benefit from her expertise. Amelie is an amazing teacher and I am really feeling the benefits of the classes postpartum too. I have also found the class entirely compatible with and complementary to the Mutu programme I am working through. Thank you Amelie!

Hanna Shepard: Amelie is a brilliant instructor. My physical recovery has been so much better than after my previous birth thanks to her classes. She creates a safe space to feel all the emotions that come with new babies. Every week I left feeling released and reset.

Gayathri Priya: Had a wonderful pregnancy yoga sessions with First to Fourth. Amelie has been very professional and an excellent support during the class. And I highly recommend her classes. Thankyou.

Maria Marino: .Also I love how the yoga class are for everyone, it's a safe space, no pressure no matter if it's your first pregnancy or if you haven't done any yoga before. All thanks to Amelie who is a wonderful teacher!

Antonia: I couldn’t recommend First to Fourth pregnancy yoga classes enough. It is the time of week which allows me to focus purely on baby and myself and also to learn a lot through the class and through connecting with other mothers to be. It is such a safe space to just ‘be’ which doesn’t happen very often in a fast paced world. Amelie is such a beautiful teacher who makes you feel that nothing you can do is wrong and there are no expectations which is liberating! 5 stars plus!

Fiona Mc Cormick: I loved going to the pregnancy yoga classes on Thursdays. Amelie is fantastic - so kind and welcoming. The class itself was nice and gentle which suited me perfectly and it was great to meet some other mum’s to be! Would highly recommend.

Silva M: Brilliant and enjoyable classes! Amelie is so lovely and would highly recommend for mammas to be. Always look forward to our Thursday class and good to share experience with other mums expecting.

Rosie Williams: I loved attending Amelie’s classes with my baby. I found them so relaxing and I love that Amelie allows time in every class for us to chat and discuss how things are going. I highly recommend Amelie!

Abi Childs: Amelie is a brilliant teacher and her classes are really wonderful - very calm and nurturing. Just the thing I needed with my baby! Would highly recommend.

Rachel Perry: First to fourth yoga was one of the best investments I made during pregnancy! Starting in my second trimester and continuing weekly to the end of my third trimester it kept me moving, relaxed about pregnancy and birth and was a great opportunity each week to meet with other mummas-to-be and Amelie, who what’s been so lovely, welcoming and reassuring. The class has been beneficial in so many ways including practicing different breathing techniques and positions to help in labour. I would highly recommend and looking forward to returning to mum and baby yoga! Thank you Amelie!

Katy Hyams: peace for new mums. Definite highlight of my maternity leave!

Fran Amaral: Such an amazing way to get out and about with your baby, meet like-minded mums and do some exercise and fun activities. Thoroughly loved the experience and variety of classes from mummy and me yoga to baby music, aeorbics and baby yoga. And of course the babies love it too!!! Facilities are great as well. Really recommend.

Tatiana Jardan: I highly recommend Busylizzy! I had so much fun during my six months with the club. I had unlimited membership which is totally worth it as there are a number of classes for mommies and babies to choose from nearly every day of the week. We tried a variety and I can certainly say that all instructors are professional and caring, classes are fun, premises are nice and the atmosphere is great! Everyone’s so understanding if a baby is crying and needs a feed or crawling everywhere stealing bottles of water. I particularly enjoyed Pilates, indoor fitness and aerobics, and my baby boy loved his baby boogie and baby karma classes. Feel sad to leave!

Suzanna Travers: I can highly recommend busy lizzy! From the friendly staff, to the great teachers, to the classes themselves and to all the new friends I have made, I really loved being part of this great club!Unfortunately we had to leave due to me going back to work and having to settle in my little one with her childminder, but we spent nearly every day there from July to October and I got fitter thanks to the aerobics and the bootcamp classes and my little one got her fun through yoga, music, boogie and sign class.It's a brilliant concept and I am hoping that once the mini classes are up and running and I'm fully settled into our new routine in january I will be able to come back to some classes!

Amy Phillpot: I joined Busylizzy Kingston when my daughter was 3 months old. I love the variety of classes on offer as she really enjoys the baby classes and I have loved getting fit again with the amazing classes for mums. The easy to use app is brilliant and gives the flexibility you need as a new mum. Great instructors, convenient venues and a good way to meet other like minded mums. Would hugely recommend

Tara Richardson Al-baali: Amazing club, flexible and so much choice in terms of classes that are available. The staff/instructors and members are all so lovely and it's got such great vibes and atmosphere. Also I must mention the facilities are amazing! Clean, spacious and newly built too - What more could you ask for!

Sandra Hopkins: A great mix of classes! Loving having something fun to do each day. It's a great mixture of classes for my baby and fitness for me. Bootcamp is a great first postnatal class and I feel I'm really working hard.
