A supportive community for parents, parents-to-be and those navigating the journey to parenthood
Through pregnancy classes, fertility support, workshops and parent education courses, we help mums and birth partners feel informed, confident and connected.
Blossom and Bloom Lanarkshire is a supportive community for parents and parents-to-be. Through pregnancy classes, fertility support, workshops and parent education courses, we help mums and birth partners feel informed, confident and connected. More than just classes, we create lasting friendships, ongoing support and a safe space to navigate the journey into parenthood together.
Our vision has always been to promote positive mental wellbeing, reduce isolation and help build supportive friendships.
After experiencing several rounds of IVF and difficult pregnancies ourselves, we understand how emotional and isolating the journey into parenthood can feel. Blossom and Bloom Lanarkshire was created to offer support, connection and community for parents and parents-to-be.
Since 2022, we’ve supported hundreds of local families through pregnancy, fertility journeys and early parenthood, while also collaborating with local businesses in the area.
All of our groups and classes are relaxed and informal, helping you feel more prepared for meeting your baby and more confident for the journey ahead, whether you’re attending alone or with a birth partner, alongside others on a similar journey.
We are fully inclusive and welcome everyone,. Including same-sex couples, adoptive parents, single parents and all families — regardless of age, location, sexual orientation, race or beliefs.
Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date with all our latest news and events.
“A few weeks ago the lovely Lor came out to deliver the parents to be class. I cannot rate this class highly enough. It was in the comfort of my home with my mum and fiancé there too. We asked so many questions and learned a lot! She even helped us arrange the layout of our nursery at one point . My mum was a health visitor for over 18 years and even said how much she learned too. Thank you Lor for all the advice and support, this class was invaluable to us and we’d like to get you back out before and after baby is here to cover some other topics too. 100% recommend xxxx”
“I attended the Blossom and Bloom classes run by Lor for two blocks, and couldn’t recommend them more! Not only does she cover the basics around being pregnant and becoming a mum, but she creates such a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable to share, seek advice and ask those questions we all think are silly (but really aren’t!). I felt much more prepared for baby’s arrival, have met a lovely group of people who have continued to be a fantastic support and look forward to embarking on the parenting journey alongside them (with lots of coffee and cake dates!). Thank you Lor, you’re a star.”
“My wife and I attended the four week parents to be classes and we can’t recommend them highly enough. As first time parents the classes taught us the basics from bathing, clothing, safe sleep, feeding and everything in between. The classes are small and engaging with the opportunity to ask questions throughout. Lor’s love and dedication for what she does is clear from the moment you contact Blossom & Bloom and continues throughout.
Although our classes have (sadly) now ended, we wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her if needed and will be recommending her to all future parents! Thank you so much again”
“My friend and I go to the mum’s nights in Strathaven and I have to say its a highlight if my month! Its so nice to get to chat to other mums and its amazing to have been given the opportunity. Lor is so welcoming and so kind to everyone there and always makes you feel at ease.”
“I would urge every single mum or mum to be to get involved in bloomin weans night!!! I have never felt more welcomed and at ease somewhere! It’s a great chance to escape from reality and “bloomin weans” for one night and get together for a few drinks with like minded people. Lor is the one of the most friendly, kind natured people you will ever meet. The love and support everyone has for each other is awesome and your 100% guaranteed a good giggle.”
“I’ve been going to the monthly ‘Bloomin weans’ night and it is a great night. It is very welcoming and relaxed and I have met alot of other mums which is great. It is always a great night and I look forward to it every month. thank you to Lor for arranging a great night for us with raffles and cake tasting and so much more xx”
“Lor, you have genuinely changed our lives. Thank you for being so welcoming, so supportive and so reassuring. I will scream your name from the rooftops to anyone I know on their pregnancy journey because your class has given Jamie and I the confidence we needed to go into this next chapter of our lives. Thank you for being amazing. 💕 xxx”
“I recently attended the mums to be classes for 6 weeks and honestly couldn’t recommend them enough!! The classes were so informative and covered everything in a really clear & reassuring way. It was a supportive, safe space where you could openly share and ask anything without feeling judged.
Lor is absolutely fabulous, she has such a calming presence and really knows how to put you at ease, especially during what can be quite a stressful time when you’re preparing for a baby.
Highly recommend to any mums or mums to be.”
