Reviews
Jessica S 11/04/23 "I wanted to say a massive thank you to you for your pregnancy yoga classes which really helped me prepare for birthing my little man from the breathing and meditation techniques to stretches and exercises. Really grateful and I would highly recommend other pregnant mums"
Krystal B 05/07/19 ... "I had a 3 day labour with my first baby and i can hands down definitely say I wouldn't have been able to do it if it wasn't for Elizabeth and her lovely team at the wellness centre. They taught me how to breathe during labour and it definitely helped me get through :) I highly recommend their prenatal yoga class especially for first time mums or if you just need some much needed "you time" with your other pregnancies. Also their pregnancy massage will make you leave feeling like you're floating on a cloud. The massage room is super cozy and homely, you'll never want to leave!"
Lisa B says "Thanks for all your assistance with the pre natal classes. I believe they truly helped my symptom free pregnancy and easy child birth. .... she just slid out.... I laboured standing, focusing on my breathing for 2 hours, pushed for 30 minutes and Aria Rose was born. All up a quick and drug free birth". Baby Aria born 18 April 2018

Devina B ... "Hi Elizabeth. Won’t make yoga tonight. Had baby yesterday, 2 weeks early via Emergancy c section because of blood pressure and some growth issues. Thank you so much for the amazing classes and giving me a calm place and positive atmosphere to keep my blood pressure down and give strength to me and my baby as long as I did this time around (4 weeks further than we got last time and 1 whole kg heavier!) we can’t thank you enough."
Matilda & Amy met at Pre-natal Yoga/pilates classes at the Wellness Centre in October 2015.
"We got to know each other in the classes & started catching up once we had our babies (Indi & Mia on the left) in April this year. We meet regularly now with our babies and also enjoy catching up in classes at the Wellness Centre without our babies as well" Matilda & Amy
