About
Lushtums Pregnancy Yoga Keynsham, located in Bristol, is a comprehensive yoga instructor and pregnancy care centre dedicated to supporting individuals through their journey to parenthood. Led by Kim, a passionate mother, yoga teacher, and doula, the centre offers a range of services including doula support, pregnancy yoga classes, postnatal yoga classes, women's yoga, and Hypnobirthing courses.
With a belief that birth is a transformative experience, Kim strives to empower individuals and create a positive and enjoyable birthing experience. She understands the importance of equipping parents with tools and techniques to support them throughout their journey, including movements, breath work, relaxation, support, continuity of care, and education. By stacking these odds in their favour, Kim aims to ensure that every parent and baby receives a positive start to their life together.
Kim's personal journey with her own body and birth experience led her to advocate for the innate wisdom of the human body. Having discovered the benefits of pregnancy yoga, she realised the importance of listening to her body and accepting the messages it was sending. Kim qualified to teach specialised pregnancy yoga classes with Lushtums in 2019 and launched classes in Hanham and Keynsham. In 2020, she furthered her qualifications and became certified in Postnatal Yoga, allowing her to continue supporting individuals beyond pregnancy.
Recognising the importance of rest during transition points in life, Kim has also undertaken training in Nidra Restore with Helen Moss. Additionally, she has received training in Lushtums Antenatal Education and Hypnobirthing with Abby at Loveyourbirth. This knowledge has opened Kim's eyes to the capabilities of the human body and the available choices individuals have in their maternity care.
As a Continuum Doula, Kim offers a highly personalised package of care that provides unique and individualised support throughout pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. Understanding the positive impact of continuity of care, she meets with clients six times before birth and six times after, ensuring continuous support during this crucial time.
At Lushtums Pregnancy Yoga Keynsham, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to birth. However, Kim believes that everyone deserves to recognise their power, be treated with respect, and have access to the support they need during this transformative journey.
