Janet Grey Bump and Baby is a renowned Yoga instructor, Doula, Massage school, and Sleep Clinic located in Alresford, a picturesque town in Hampshire, England. Owned and operated by Janet Grey, a highly skilled and experienced professional, the centre offers a wide range of services to support families as they navigate the exciting and sometimes challenging journey of pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood.
Janet's journey in supporting families began in 1991 when she graduated from Norland College and worked as a nanny in London for eight years. After getting married and starting a family of her own, she became a full-time mum, nurturing her two children and managing a smallholding with various animals. When her daughter started school, Janet decided to return to work and became a postnatal doula, allowing her to balance her professional life with her family responsibilities.
Driven by her passion for helping families, Janet pursued further education and training, and in 2015, she was accepted at the University of Worcester. There, she studied with the National Childbirth Trust (NCT) to earn a degree in Birth & Beyond, specialising in Antenatal teaching, Yoga instruction, and Baby Massage. With her comprehensive knowledge and years of experience, Janet now offers in-person and online Yoga in Pregnancy classes, Baby Massage courses, and NCT Antenatal classes.
Janet's approach to her classes and services is characterised by warmth, patience, and inclusivity. Her Yoga for Pregnancy classes blend yoga and relaxation techniques with valuable advice on pregnancy and birth from her extensive experience. This unique combination provides expectant mothers with holistic support and prepares them for the transformative journey of childbirth.
As a certified Baby Massage instructor, Janet teaches parents massage strokes that not only help calm and soothe their babies but also strengthen the bond between parent and child. Baby Massage is also known to promote better sleep and relieve common discomforts such as trapped wind.
Janet also offers comprehensive postnatal support as a Doula. Her dedication and compassion towards new parents are evident in the testimonials she receives. Her invaluable guidance and care not only ease the transition into parenthood but also contribute to the overall well-being and confidence of the entire family.
In addition to her professional pursuits, Janet enjoys spending time with her children, dogs, and cat. She is an avid yogi, loves walking, paddleboarding, and indulging in a slice of cake now and then.
