Dona’h.. 084 427 5796 “Our studio offers classes that are low-impact and combine the strength you get from pilates with the gracefulness of the ballet barre. We place a strong emphasis on long term postural benefits, improved flexibility and increased core and muscle strength. Women love being around women – our classes offer an hour of me-time spent with like minded women, a good chat and a great workout. I love seeing women come into the studio after a crazy day and leave feeling less stressed, more energized, balanced and more centred than when they arrived. We cater for all women, it does not matter if you’re 20 or 75, if you are pregnant or have just had a baby, haven’t worked out in years, if you have back pain or a knee injury or would just like to start ballet again - it’s a workout that works for everyone. I absolutely love what I do, I am inspired by the women that come to the studio. As Women we are the centre of our homes, the core and heart of every family and finding the time for ourselves is usually the last thing on our list BUT it is vital to leading a balanced and whole lifestyle to be the best wife, mother and friend we can be.” Lauren.. 083 859 8766 “Baby Builders offers a unique programme where from four weeks baby’s stimulation and development goals and milestones are worked on in a nurturing and fun way. The Baby Builders studio is a vibrant busy studio dedicated entirely to moms and their babies where once a week mommies can take an hour or two out of their busy day to spend time with their babies and other like minded moms, dedicating this time to stimulating, nurturing, bonding and learning with and about their babies. I love the way my mommies in my class bond and make lifetime friendships. They say it takes a village to raise a child and the way my mommies support each other is wonderful to see. I love that my mommies come back with their second, third and sometimes even fourth babies and I love seeing my precious little babies develop from tiny sleepy little newborns to beautiful strong toddlers all within the first year of life.” The Programme is divided into: Cuddle Babes (4 weeks to 3 months) Lap Babies (3 to 6 months) Creepy Crawlies (6 - 9 months) Toddling Tots (9 - 12 months) Looking for a unique gift for that special little person in your life? Sing Your Name offers a range of personalised CDs and DVDs that are sure to put a smile on little faces. Lorna Hayward came across the Sing Your Name franchise while searching for a business for her husband. She was so taken by the novel idea of placing children’s names and faces into songs and videos, that she was the one that ended up with a new business! Sing Your Name offers personalised products for children aged 0 right up to 12 years old. The range includes music CDS, story book CDs and movie DVDs. Lorna has been enthused by the products since she first came across them and explains, ‘For the music CDs, I programme in the child’s name and each song will then contain his/her name! The music CDs are my best-sellers and it is priceless to see the little one’s face light up as soon as they hear his or her name. Fun and educational!’ The story book CDs are interactive stories played on a computer. The child can see him/ herself as the character and can read the story and click on different pages. Each story also contains a game that they can play as well as printable colouring-in pages. For the music DVDS, Lorna requires a headshot of the child which she then places into the movie. Each movie is about 20 minutes long. Lorna says she has received nothing but positive feedback about the products and that children just love to see their own faces in the movies and stories and hear their own names in the songs.
